Really nice stuff! What a great iniciative, but I must say I'm very surprised to not see more invites/spots for chinese players. Great tournament!
|
Now THAT'S a tournament out of nowhere. Between ESL, GTC, the new team event and the usual GSL/EPT we are truly spoiled this year!
|
The astrea invite is a little bit surprising to me but well deserved imo, hope he can perform well :D
Otherwise pretty solid invites maybe a bit weak on the korean zerg front, but we got solid foreigners for compensation

As far as I know, almost all the top Korean players have been contacted, but some of them don't want to participate.

Serral participating? That's great!

Good to see more support from SC2 from SCBoy and China. That's extra revenue that the players can earn for themselves.

The sponsor asked rogue whether Jinair will join the contest,rogue said they will not join. However, after they have checked the invited players, sos asked xiaose why didn't invite them to join the contest. He and Maru both have intrest on the DouyuCup but they didn't hear anything from rogue.

Scboy asked Rouge whether jinair progamers wanted to participate, Rouge said Jinair didn't plan to participate, So scboy didn't invite them. However SoS said to scboy Rouge didn't mention this event to him and Maru......

Oh well, they'll have to qualify normally then. Should be doable for Maru at least.
