Well that sucks for Patience, HyuN, MyuNgSiK, and KeeN.... I don't see any of them not wanting to compete in a foreign tournament for some cash money.

Apparently they're splitting the 16 players. 8 players will play this tournament, their next tournament (Summers II) the other people that qualified will play.
Oh good to know the other players haven't been screwed out of a tournament, little odd why they decided to do that but I guess any possible invitees are choosing IEM over gfinity. I'd have preferred the 16 man version though.

Whats that?? Just changing from 16 to 8.. dude how crappy

oh wow that's weird. Glad to see they'll still get to play in a tournament though

This seems really strange. =/
Gfinity just seems completely awful about communicating their intentions and advertising their tournaments in general.

<3 Olimoley your so awesome, thank you very much for the info :D Seems like Gfinity should've explained how this was working, or maybe they did and I just didnt see. 8 person tournament is a bit odd, I cant think of a 10k 8 person tournament off the top of my head. Is this all leading to a bigger tournament? Wonder about the WCS points, considering its not on liquipedia I'm assuming there wont be any. Most of all though, I think they should've scheduled it better so it doesnt have to compete for numbers in this market, because really it just hurts both of them.

This looks winnable for a foreigner. My bet is Jaedong wins.

The only thing I can say about this is:
Great job for doing it at the same time IEM gamescom is running!
I just love Tournaments overlapping! Seriously!
**sorry for this madness**

Well it is known since early April 2015 that gamescom will be held at this time.
And except last year, there was always SC2, so what would have been the problem
to do it one week later?

Cant tell if your being sarcastic or not lol. If not, like that other person said the tourny is in the London arena and Bling is from Cornwall. Also it'd be a pretty shitty requirement if you had to have won a tournament to be invited. He's pretty good too, but more of a fan favorite I guess you could say.

Blizzard manages event's dates, so I think it is a Blizzard's mystake. This is a very bad thing to have 2 big tournaments at the same time.
