Glade is already one of the Asian spots and there are no American players with a direct invite.

Like what is the people that are in the qualifier based on it seems very random, for Europe to leave out players like Ret(winning assembly) and NA to have such strange players(no Idra or nony).

Ret left Korea why would he come straight back. Same for IdrA. Nony has done nothing at all in SC2.

The invites were based on IEM results, and the qualifier players were picked out of those who accepted the invites. Anyone not there that you think should be has declined the invite (though I have no idea why, as even just qualifying bring a significant prize).

yeah..but is this Lan or online?

oGsMC and ST_July will be playing.

[inFeZa]

I think sen will take asia's spot

[HDPhoenix]

Great stuff Del =) Love love FXO

[Dogsi]

Not to break the trend and all but I hope redarchon wins it... in my honest opinion, he is very good and fun to watch.

[SkyBreaker]

This is awesome! Go SEA! Can't wait to tune into this!

[ProAnnn]

I think its a battle between Sen and RedArchon for the asian side. Sen has a higher chance since he's like 4k points in KR ladder?

[TAEdgE]

Like all SEA invites, but gotta be Kowi. Gogo kowi!
