There won't be Korean qualifier. The four additional players representing Asia will be invited based on their success in other tournaments (GSL, BlizzCon).

Will be interesting to see who goes from Korea. Looking at the GSL schedule, the ro16 matches for code S are on the 3rd and 5th of March so I hope ESL and Gom can work together to avoid scheduling conflict.

Meh, i got to hand in my masters thesis on the 10th of March. So vacation directly before that is probably a bad idea. I can reach Hannover in 2 hours but probably won't go

Nestea/MC are still very relevant.

MVP/MKP definitely better than FD now atm though.

Hope no terrans from Korea, even though we wont have the best players there it should be more entertaining than having 80% terrans.

I think a Korean zerg will win it, because Europeans and Americans aren't really good against zerg and all qualified only because of their good TvT or PvT.

in that case you should invite 2 Protoss and 2 Zerg for a good balanced IEM finals
