Wow.. a ton of people replying "Haven't read the post." To your great dismay, I both listened to the live cast and read the whole OP before posting this. The part about Loner: "We also knew that disallowing Asia meant disallowing China and Taiwan. With Sen already being invited from his TSL2 performance, we felt the best way to represent this scene was to invite the best performing player from China. Loner was one of two Chinese invites to Blizzcon 2010 and finished in second place behind Genius. Loner also qualified for Code A in the GSL and was able to retain Code A status for this upcoming season. Based on this, we felt that Loner was the strongest representative from China and thus received an invite. " Yeah, strongest representative from Chine indeed. But not top 5 representative from Korea/Asia at all. I see the choice of trying to make the tournament as global as possible by inviting a chinese player, but still express my disappointment that the 5 invites were not given to the top 5 players of this area. Foxer was top 5 in Asia basically all the time starting from his Final appearance in GSL 2 until now. ( Top 8 in GSL 3 where he lost to winner MC, then another finals). TLDR: It's your league, you can choose whoever you like, and overall the invitees are AMAZING, almost perfect imho, just saying what I don't like. | ||

To my dismay you seemed to have omitted the real explanation from the post that you supposedly read. Also please understand the timing of the invites, these were organised and coordinated in early January since for tournaments like the TSL to be successful, you get on top of your invites early otherwise things turn into an organisational mess. We had no idea that Moonglade would be travelling to Korea, nor that MarineKingPrime would make a second finals appearance. While these events may not have changed the invite list at the end of the day, they were never present in our discussions since they had not happened yet. There was still people at that time being unimpressed by MKP and thinking he was a fluke, like Rainbow who got a Finals and a Semifinal in a row oooooh ahhhh, but in reality Rainbow is not, Top 5. | ||

He made the Ro8 and played a close series with MC i would say that is an equall achievement to that of Boxer's . If MC was eliminated back then we probably wouldn't be seeing him in TSL . Boxer and Nada got invited , because they are legends an i am pissed , because July is being left out meening that people don't acknowledge what he has done for Starcraft e - sports . | ||
