Awesome invites! Sad that MKP is not in the list, but who would have thought his marines would get him to 2 finals.

Da yoon yeolzsgfsdfgsfgsf greatest most talented player ever
Hopefully latency won't hurt the quality of games much but super excited nonetheless. I pray mvp shows everyone why he is the most feared player atm.

I apologize if this has been asked before, but are the koreans coming over here to play or will it be over the net???

Over the Internets. Finalist are going to fly to NY to play and no general public can't see those games live.

Loner is a good choice, the last two TSL despite being a global foreign starleague unfortunately didn't include the chinese players because of lag issues.

Great list

This is so amazing. I cant believe this is finally happening. You think Tyler can hold his title? Could the Koreans sweep this TSL?

Great invites. Though I was expecting to see the King of Marines there, I'm not really dissapointed about it.

For people complaingin about Loner; think about it like this. Chinese aren't allowed to compete in the qualifiers, so for them to have a reprensative a chinese player should be invited and as of now Loner is the most accomplished SC2 player from China. And he is actually pretty damn good too, just a bit inconsistent.

How is it the best possible lineup?

3 out of 5 of these terrans can be replaced..

I'm just glad MVP is coming.

Even prior to Season 4 MKP performed better than 4 out of 5 terrans on that list(all but Jinro), so that explanation is kind of stupid. Anyway, it's final so it doesn't matter.

By the same reasoning we should have invited Rainbow since he placed 2nd in S1 and made the semifinals in S2. Further, Rainbow had more consistent results than MKP over the first season three seasons of GSL so we should have invited Rainbow over MKP and loner

. You don't hear people calling for Rainbow to be invited now do you? The primary reason MKP has so much support is because he made a second final - something we could never have anticipated.

I can't believe people are arguing over MKP when freaking THE EMPORER SLAYERS_BOXER, THE MAN WHO MADE ESPORTS WHAT IT IS TODAY AND MOTHER EFFING NADA, THE BONJWAS OF BONJWANIA ARE GOING TO BE IN THE TSL

A YEAR AGO IT WAS NOT EVEN FATHOMABLE THAT THESE LEGENDS WOULD PLAY IN A FOREIGNER TOURNAMENT

and now...wow, we've come such a long way. I can't even..I'm not even...just wow.

I think Team Liquid did a great job of the picks, I dont think TSL is to NOT to get the best 32 players in the world, if that's that goal, just invite 38 code s player plus some foreign invites, I think the goal here is to give people from different regions a fair shoot to get involved in the tourney, thus the NA, EU qualifiers, Loner may not be the strongest players among the invites, but I think he's pretty decent, would definitely get a chance if there's China Qualifier, plus getting people from different regions always a good idea for esports, for now and future, especially we are talking about china here

on a side note, no BitBitBit? I am disappointed !! I think he's the second best player in the world !! only second to clide !
