I mean, I get it. Inviting the winner back is tradition in TSL, and hell, it even worked for TSL3 with the release of a whole new game compared to the previous edition.
But I also understand why it couldn't really be done this time. Former champion is banned, one guy's status is completely unknown, one guy is in the military, and only Creator is still around. So if you invite him based on a result from years back, and give the other three invites out on the basis of points you lose the consistency in your invite criteria and most likely can't give out EPT points anymore.

Hey don't you try and retcon one of the only wins in Creator's career.

Ah yeah, got my champions mixed up (still called it Creator's title defence though, so I dunno). :D But I'll be honest: while TSL 4 had a super cool intro and theme song and all that, for me personally it fell relatively flat compared to TSL 3 (now that was some awesome shit!). A top 4 of Creator, Life, KeeN, and Sting was kind of uninspiring. Fucking Jonnypatchzerg was the best foreigner in it.

Creator will be glad he won't carry the responsibility of being invited in his current state.
Korean qualifiers being harder than the actual tournament?
Yeah, players hate getting a chance to play in a tournament because of the responsibility that comes with it. Especially when not getting invited means a much more deserving player like serral gets to play.
This doesn't make sense, Serral is invited as #1 non korean.

wow what if we had just invited the top four of TSL4
Life got banned, sting retired, keen in military, only one to invite is creator who definitely won't get out of the korean qualifier. Maybe he will? Thats gonna be great.
And you have to go all the way down to 9-16th for players that are still relevant today which are Taeja and SpeCial.
We also have curious and kas who aren't so relevant but still there.

GSL invites 4 people. GSL should stop giving points. It's not a fair system...
On top of the smaller percantage of invites vs qualifier spots the main problem with HSC was that the points were announced after the qualifiers were done, while here it s announced way before, so its a comletly different story anyways.

You are really comparing tsl and gsl ? X) Wow so impressed by the depth of your amazing argument.
TL has pressured esl/hsc in order to prevent them to gain ept pts because of invites and now there 4 of them in their tournament ? There is indeed a total lack of consistency and fairness, thanks for pointing this out even if as you don't understand it, it is only by sarcasm.
Btw, your point is a obvious fallacy : I agree gsl might get ride of his invite but at least, it is an etablished tournament which is part regular saison since ages. In other hand counts tsl only 3 editions (the last one was from 2012 and was pretty meh), it's nice but for example hsc is way more valuable for the community so I don't get why it is favorised.

Holy moly you took my post serious? Sorry, I'm not gonna argue this, even if your post is basically an invitation to do so
