I acknowledged that point in a previous post, but I'll say it again for you. Yes, he does concede that there might be some invite spots for "true Koreans", but he shoots himself in the foot in his last paragraph, where he goes on to say that he'd rather watch only foreigners play against each other in the TSL, and that if he wanted to watch Koreans, he'd go to gomtv.net. That last paragraph clearly shows his true feelings on the matter - he doesn't want Koreans in the TSL. I don't know how else you'd interpret that last paragraph. | ||

Fruitdealers interview was great imo, he tells it as it is instead of making excuses. Yeah, it's funny how many are giving Strelok credit for being brutally honest, while few people are giving FD credit for stepping right up and saying, "Yeah, I've been doing badly and it's all my fault. I fucked up and I completely take responsibility." Instead, I just see lots of disparaging comments about Koreans being boring. | ||

Comment about korean being boring does not apply to him. | ||

There are some sick players from GSL in this one, but no reason to think this will be "korean favoured", at least from my perspective. In any case this should be pretty awesome, looking forward to it! Here is some additional evidence to IEM results: Foreign Tournaments: MLG - Won by HuK; no Koreans there. IdrA (from Korean server at that time). Jinro (from Korean server at that time) IEM- slaughtered by the Korean server players- Top 5. Dreamhack 2010- involved only 2 koreans, + Show Spoiler + and it's not like Inca and Top are anywhere near MC and MVP's calibre EDIT; FXO Invitationals - won by oGstheSTC and oGsHero Consider that the tournaments involving any Korean server players have almost all been won by them respectively (except for Dreamhack). I think the misconception is that Koreans themselves are better, rather it's the people who are playing on that server that are the top, since the Korean server seems to emphasize better mechanics (imo). I don't think a Korean person will win this necessarily, but I'd say odds are very likely someone from the Korean server wins this.

Haypro looked really strong, creative and ahead of the metagame in that recent Liquid showmatch. His ZvP was really brilliant. I love that you're getting Korean interviews as well as EU/NA ones, and I am absolutely PSYCHED about seeing FD against Kas. Also love that he wants to face Morrow, would be an absolutely amazing match I'm sure. So psyched. <3 TL <3 | ||

The thing is that there are many other players, that also could have been invited which didn't get an invite. Thats what makes this taste a little bitter. A bigger field which would have invited every player that won something major (Assembly, Dreamhack, MLG 1-3, IEM... + most concistend "weekly" or "monthly final" winning persons) would make this look "better". | ||

Also, regarding the Strelok comment, I think everyone understands that TL would have preferred to have open qualifiers for Asia. Unfortunately this was not possible, so TL had to invite players. The rationale behind the specific invites were explained quite well in the post on the Terran invites. That said, it's understandable that players who had to work hard for weeks to qualify feel a bit aggrieved by the invites. Unfortunately, until we can host a Korean TL Open, there aren't many alternatives except for purposefully excluding many of the best players in the world from TSL. The way I see it, the compromise which was made is the best for the spectators and fair for the competitors. All the international players had a fair chance of qualifying, and any players who did not qualify simply failed to perform in the eight tournaments made available to them. The international players that were invited might have had an easier path, but as was said in the post on the rationale, these players worked hard and sacrificed a lot to go to Korea, and penalizing them for this seems the worse of the available options.

Players were only invited if they were unable to qualify due to being in Asia. The plan was always to invite Koreans after the deserving foreigners in Korean had been invited. Which international players in Korea do you believe should also have been invited, considering that the invitations were sent around December/January? | ||
