Wow, I´m so thrilled to go there! Will be great to see them in real for the first time.
Just wanted to give some advice to those of you living in Germany: The company "PEARL" gives away free CeBIT tickets on their website, so it won´t cost you like 40€ to see SC2, just 5€ of postal charges.

It has something to do with that regions placing in last years grand final, not sure how they decided how to do with SC2 though as it was released this year.

I think they should invite them, since they are the 4 best koreans right now, but in that case we should be prepared for some korean ownage in the tournament.
NesTea = Most definitely the best zerg in the world, there's none like him.
MVP = Best player right now, his decision making is insane and his mechanics are also at the top, plus, he's been on fire for a very long time now
MKP = 2nd best terran in the world, and he has spiced up his marine play quite a bit
MC = He's so calm about decision making, pushing mostly at correct timings with the right compositions, he'll be very hard to beat for anyone.
Thats just cruel for the foreigners MVP would just about crush every Terran which is the majority of the tournament, and NesTea has the best ZvZ in the world. Lol. Quake Live group B is insane, I still follow that scene. I really really hope for more zergs though.

Pretty disappointing .. (not that there's anything wrong with Squirtle, Ace, or Moon [all great players in their own right]), but if they were gonna do direct-invites I'm sure people expected them to be the best of the best. I guess a scheduling conflict can't be helped, but I wonder what Squirtle, Ace, and Moon plan to do about GSL then. I don't think any of them would like to go through quals again.
EDIT: Or even then invite IdrA as a Korean player. I mean yeah technically he isn't a Korean, but he's been playing in Korea with relative success and was unable to play in the USA quals due to the time issue.

NA usually get less spots than EU and Asia for all their games because :/ you know, skill level. Only Quake Live gets a decent number of spots because of Rapha and DaHanG.

there's still one open spot and rotterdam hinted at not all of the players being actual koreans in one of his posts here on TL iirc...
Does anyone know about at which time the games will take place on the different days? I'm looking for to visit the cebit, so it would be cool to be there at the right time.
