Hmm, I guess Neeb will go to France to play Nation Wars' offline finals if team USA qualifies today; he could have arranged something; Special, on the other hand, is super unlucky with HSC. Dark's language barrier problem seems weird when there are more than ten korean players while Maru just doesn't like to travel, it can't be helped. Maybe if the idea of HSC being played in the USA turned out successful we would have eventually seen them play in the tournament... Thus said, I obviously don't want to complain, the roster is very nice and I appreciate the effort as usual; I just would have loved to see those players at HSC once. On a side note, I am curious about Dear and Ragnarok. They went to ASUS Rog earlier this year so I guess they wouldn't have problems to travel, and I don't recall them ever being at HSC. | ||

I’d be more hyped to see Luolis join as a player tbh, although I realise it would be unfair on the rest of the field. | ||

I imagine language barrier issues are way more pronounced at HSC than at a regular stock tournament. Basically why so many love the tournament is the house party with a StarCraft tournament attached vibe they have going, but I imagine for Koreans it might be unappealing because they can’t really partake in that aspect so much. Perhaps that’s a factor for some. For Dark especially he’s had a gruelling year and ascended to the top of the mountain so maybe he wants a break too to enjoy his Blizzcon cash. | ||

It has been a long time since I saw him in the SC2 scene, too bad he jumped on the Heroes train, but maybe he will be back if WC3 reforged gets some decent tournaments. | ||

For Dark especially he’s had a gruelling year and ascended to the top of the mountain so maybe he wants a break too to enjoy his Blizzcon cash. yet many top Koreans always attend, and some even bothered to learn to speak English during their career. Some wont, but that s okay, for me it's completely fine to have half a Korean roaster and a full EU roster, compared to having full EU+ full NA On November 16 2019 22:51 Nakajin wrote: Koreans also have a day of flight to go there and if they miss the top 5 it's quite an expensive trip to take, so I can get why some koreans wouldn't be to interested to go. ~2000$ and at least 2 whole day to go to a party is something to think about. On top of not beeing to comfortable in an european party Still it's gonna be amazing From a business/ cost-benefit analysis point of view it might not make monetary sense to attend for anyone aside from the top5. Yet if you treat it as a semi-casual trip to Europe, with the possibility to promote ur personal brand and earn some money on the side, than it's a no-brainer. Plus I imagine you could ask your sponsors and whatnot for contributions for the costs involved. | ||

Usually its an argument but for this HSC it isn't. But obviously free time can be worth more than money too  | ||

I got one question out of interest: did u invite fantasy and he declined? I m not sure, but I belive I ve read it somewhere in this thread, that he wasn t invited. The reasoning behind that was, that not necessarily the best player possible were invited, but also players with a lot of history witch HSC, like TLO or Teaja | ||
