Ooo wonder who the wildcards are gonna be

We have noticed that players have been clinching top spots in all 4 GPD Opens. Since Lazyboy regretfully is unable to make it, it is only fitting that we find another to take his spot. After careful considerations and secret votings by the admins we have...

Keeping the Terran Hope alive...

Wildcard #1 :
ShayneRarma

What he has to say :
With the GProtossD Cup so heavily swayed, it's great to have the opportunity to raise the flag. With three of the Protoss being players I have played and ez'd before, it should make for fun and interesting maps. (Yeah, you Enak, Ez mode). I think Ravenflames will be the guy to beat.

Quick Comments

eCKo`Enak:

Enak vs Shayne first round. gogo ;)

[Philosopher]

Good to see ShayneRarma getting amongst the action.

Great tournament. It was sad to see BSG die the way it did, but the continuation of GPD makes up for it. Nem works so hard!

[ETL.Balimaar]

yeah a lot of the BSG players were promoted into plat guess that means the GPD can grow

[syfRize]

We should've had it as admins come up with say.. 10 players, and we voted in a poll for the community's choice of player to watch. T_T

[mGGNemesis]

With now FOUR , TWO s we can't have only one zerg to rep . This player has come a long long way to be what he is today.

Presenting...

Wildcard #2 :
Rendorian

What he has to say :
Thank you.. id like to humbly accept this privilege of being the wildcard.
I'm greatly honored to be chosen for such a task and will try my best to dominate my opponents with pure ownage with skillz I've received in training from my prince volka (Who totally didn't write this).Thanks to a particular "friend" of mine, I have been encouraged to pursue my goal of getting into diamond skill bracket before the deadline of the 13th of December (volkas birthday). Anyway.

Enak needs antihype to win, that's my theory.
Secretly, he's been deliberately inconsistent to reduce hype and dt win GPD Cup. Sneaky kiwi.... I know what's up.

Same as long as I don't get back . Wanna rek some people ;-;

[mGGNemesis]

A SHAKEUP!! Spook announced that he can't make it! An emergency discussion amongst admins narrowed down to 2 players to keep the fire going. Despite the option to best each other, one decided the other deserved the spot more.

Presenting another to keep that hope alive (and fill the BIG boots left behind by Spook)...

Wildcard #3 :
Chris

What he has to say :
I haven't played for a while but this will give me some motivation to play and become the new terran hope #Moveasiderunamok #Newfaketerranhope #Kappa
