EPTActually Major League Gaming revelead false information all of a sudden yesterday, so we need to clarify. Our very own Marcus 'ThorZaIN' Eklöf has accepted GSL Code A status and will compete in GSL Code A in August 2011, however he will NOT compete at the upcoming GSTL for team F.United. We don't know what's about Naniwa, tho.
Mod Edit:
New information from Mouz Facebook
It's not a decision about ThorZaIN, more likely a decision from him. When we read this MLG newspost yesterday, the whole team including ThorZaIN never heard of it before, that he will compete in GSTL. Decision was made earlier that he will accept Code A status granted from his MLG Columbus placement and will travel to Korea in August to compete. Than this weird MLG post went online.

To clarify things: I will most likely play GSTL in F.United.
What happened was that I wasn't informed about me playing in the GSTL in the first place until I saw the official GOMTV news. When I saw the news I asked my team about permission and they didn't know about it as well. As long as I wouldn't be representing WMF i was allowed to play.
I sent a mail to GOMTv asking them about that and they said I would be able to represent mouz (shirt etc).
This morning when I woke up I saw this thread with the rather misformulated mousesports-tweet. What they meant was more likely that I'm not confirmed to play in the GSTL yet. However, now when I've cleared things out I will almost certainly still be playing it.

We're pleased to say, that we've worked on a good deal with MLG and GOM, so ThorZaIN is able to compete in GSTL. Although he will travel to Korea in August, all matches from F.United will be postponed, so "white dude" ThorZaIN will be ready to rock some Koreans. Thanks to MLG and GOM who have been very cooperative on this matter and sorry from all parties involved for the rather unnecessary buzz about it.

Sorry for the inconvenience we've caused for the community as well as for GOM/MLG. We are delighted to get a chance to compete in Code A and the GSTL. Seems like the mistake was mainly on our site. Again big thanks to Lee Chen for being so cooperative and helpful all the time.
