I was looking back at the first Iron squid and realized something. The two players who made it in through qualifiers were a couple unknown "faceless" korean zergs that nobody gave a shit about. They turned out to be Symbol and Life O_O

Iron Squid = Hipster tournament.


life was absolutely not faceless lol, he was quite known for being the only zerg using hydras in vT......... but yes, symbol was completely hipster


Only to the few hundred people who watch the weekly online cups. For the general fan nobody knew anything about Life other than that he was really young.

I think you underestimate the number of people who watch weekly online cups. Back in 2011, there were the KSL weeklies and there were way more ESV than recently, and those player were always around and winning sometimes. I remember my brother telling me how impressed he was by Symbol when he won his ESV (it was still Iccup I think at this moment). At this moment of time, there was a period when almost no zergs were at the top, you had maybe Coca before the incident, DRG, Nestea and Leenock.
I remember the zerg that people had in mind to be the next big thing were Life, Line, Annyeong, Symbol, Sniper or Monster. My point is that it's not because you only heard about a player after his big breakout in a foreign tournament that the player was a nobody before that. Life's reputation as a potential great zerg comes back to mid/late 2011, and Symbol was definitely not a walkover in ESV and KSL.

Funny how people criticize the injustice as long as they're not in a position to perpetuate them for their own business.

It would be sick to have Flash and Rain.

not sur I get your meaning so just ti be sure there's no misunderstanding: we do not say anything is fair or unfair! I was merely explaining the situation. The line up will be sick enough, don't worry

I'm sure the IronSquid will be good no matter what.
Last one was clearly one step ahead of all other tournaments in terms of casting and enthousiasm.

My point was that a lot of foreigners, foreigner organizations, in fact pretty much everyone, were very critical of Kespa monopol on Brood War players back in the BW days. A lot of people asserted that foreigners would never accept such a system and so on.
But still, at the second MLG got the opportunity to have a monopol, they choose to have it.

Monopolies are bad for a culture, good for a business.

IS is getting sicker and sicker.
Please tell me it will be pure and original p&t casting, I like anoss and moman but p&t is and will stay the best duo ever.

Guessing the last 8 invitees:
Polt
Seed
Taeja
mvp
Life
MC
Squirtle
DRG

It would be the sickest of the tournaments if this list is true. :D

I'm pretty sure Scarlett and Nerchio have a high chance of being invited. They play for Acer which is managed by Kaoru who is also a part of iron squid. And mostly they are beast foreigners

I hope I will be there for the finals, but my bank account will have the last word.


I'm sure that Scarlett will decline the invitation, she seems to forfeit all the "interesting" tourneys.


Nah she just only accepts the best of the best.

Nah I'm pretty sure it will be half Korean half foreigner, but if you are right that would be SUPER sick.

The lineup looks great thus far. Taeja will be added, I just know it. Add more protosses like liquid`hero, mc, squirtle, creator and just shut up and take my money! I just cant wait to watch Iron Squid II.
