I knew MC's "retirement" was a load
If all men were created equal there would be no reason to declare it.

Also wrong herO, actually this beeing herO instead of HerO as I thought at first makes it a bit more hype :D

Geez Koreans can't even get a full chance at an "meaningless invitational"

Isn't the Taiwanese scene basically dead at this point?

China has had a resurgence but afaik Taiwan died 2 years ago :/

Oh I thought when the big tournament went away, it was all starting to go downhill, that coupled with the fact that one of their biggest teams dispanded their SC2 roster, but I have to admit Taiwan is probably the scene I know the least about

So yeah, I'm finished with the OP, a mod can change the title if something more accurate is better, since I made it before casters and schedule were announced. Or not, I don't mind .
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Quite disappointing lu. Thought we would have some more star power.
Still interested about it, especially with Byun in.
