We did have a few declines from KeSPA teams due preparations/clashes for/with Proleague/GSL/SSL which is a decision we respect of course. In addition PartinG was confirmed with flight booked but then had some health issues and had to cancel.

ByuN is a boss though, flying back the day before his GSL match. Excited to see him in action, hopefully we can get a nice interview with him via Susie

I'm also glad we can't have a repeat of Snutehosts vs herO from a IEM Toronto open bracket.

All in all, it should be a fun and interesting event.


Good to know, thanks for that!

Also did you just confirm Proleague to start next week?!

Pah, it's messioso, he won't confirm or deny things he isn't allowed to confirm or deny not even on accident

But they started releasing teasers so it might :O

I don't know when Proleague starts, it's not my position to question a team on what they think is best for their team/players.

Clashes referred to the fact there are 4 GSL matches on the 3rd, the day players would travel back from Taiwan, with more on the 5th. Naturally a trip many don't want to make ahead of matches of such importance.

Well at least the jet lag won't be too serious for ByuN, since Taiwan and Korea are only an hour apart.

Yeah he is the only invite that stands out as "should he be there?". Ptitdrogo, ShowTime, Nerchio, Mlord would've been sick. Him and the supposedly retired MC I guess.

He still was the best foreigner at the end of HotS. sOs hasn't shown that great play in LotV yet either, but no one is arguing that he shouldn't be there and with good reason I think.

sOs has played 4 televised 1v1 games in LotV and is the reigning Starcraft World Champion. Lilbow meanwhile has been completely overshadowed by other foreign players in LotV so far when playing in the same tournaments as them. I'd be fine with Lilbow if he had an interesting playstyle but... well, he never had that.

if Lilbow doesn't have an interesting playstyle nobody has.
His playstyle is the definition of interesting.

Aren't you the person who thought +2 stalker/sentry vs roach/hydra was the pinnacle of RTS gameplay? Yeah no, I don't agree with you. His playstyle is the definition of boring for me.

Probably if it was HerO. But with good herO there I'd say he's got this.

Nah, that's what the schedule is for. Also it's BO5 and BO7 and those can be long even in LotV.

A looser bracket would be so nice. Even bo3. Even not broadcasted.... Especially for the little foreigners who travel so long, and then could hypothetically just play one match...

It's too bad that with 4 Protoss in the lineup, Polt got stuck playing a TvZ. Oh well.

Should be very fun.

Weird choice to invite half protoss players with only 8 spots. Would've rather seen a 3/3/2 split.

Cheering for Snute and obviously BYUN!

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

Pretty much exactly how I feel. Although if we're lucky the star power is diminished on the grounds of Proleague starting right afterwards. I'd be fine with that.


I'm just happy to see more of sOs' shenanegans

Disappointment. The only tournament, I was looking for in 2016. The last good tournament, even when it was going to be invitational only. I was hoping for a tournament with 8 star Koreans. And instead, there are 2 foreigners, 2 foreign Koreans, 1 new Korean and only 3 star ones. But I am quite happy for Snute, I would even prefer a tournament with him and 7 Koreans ... But we have got what we have got.

At least, I am happy to see sOs as it will be probably the last time, we will see him in an international tournament. I have no hopes for BlizzCon under this year's conditions.

herO is the true star and it will be great to see him there, he might win it all.

Soulkey is a good one, great to have him there.

ByuN, the "NEW" star is the second favorite. But we know, he is really good and we will see him in many more tournaments I am sure. I somehow wanted to see the old stars one last time.

Snute, great for him, one of the last options to compete with Koreans before BlizzCon.

I really like Polt, great performance at BlizzCon, but here I hoped to see the real Koreans.

MC should cast, sing, make fun ... but OK, only thanks to him, sOs has a chance to get to the next round :-)

Lilwhat? Lilsword? Lilaxe? Check the back rocks!

Why did they even invite MC? He is "retired" and dosn't practise as much as other pros. Wasted spot IMHO.
