I hope the last replacement goes to Keen or Soulkey, as they participated in qualifiers so they're likely willing to come.

After read the organizer's post, I feel it's not wise to approach TY/Zest/Maru/Cure/Patience. They're top tier Koreans and frankly I don't think foreigners will have any chance against them.

In my opinion the best few foreigners are as good or a little weaker than 2nd tier Koreans (top 10-30) and should have a high chance against 3rd tier Koreans.

So to me it will be very interesting to see how foreigners do if there're some 2nd/3rd tier Koreans in the lineup. Sadly the organizer seems focused on top tier Koreans.

HSC is not about the quality of the players, and it never really was. Also I prefer seeing foreigners since nowadays I feel like I can watch way more Korean Starcraft than foreign Starcraft.

the lack of koreans?

why do you want koreans when foreigners are so much more fun apart from the absolute top?

I haven't been following SC2 much since LotV, so I'd like to know what is meant by, "Due to the nature of games in Legacy of the Void we decided to already have Best of 5 groupstages"

What exactly is the 'nature of games' that is being referred to?

LotV games tend to be a little bit shorter because of the 12 worker start.

yeah they shouldn't be invited because they are too good. Just unfair that some players are better than other ones.

Unlucky with everyone being busy for SPL. I usually don't tune into foreigner only tournaments but since its Homestory Cup, how could i say no? Always a fun time there.

Yep even for only-koreans fans, I think this tournament still fun to watch.

ByuN asked but all spots are gone. Also last time he qualified; said he doesnt have a team and could not afford the travel. When X-Team wanted to send him and he accepted he later still cancelled so... ByuN while I think he is a great player wouldnt be my first thought as an invite.
