ASUS ROG Stars Invite, the 10 000 dollar Starcraft 2 tournament in Helsinki, Finland starting at 4th of November, adds oGs.SK.MC and dignitas.SjoW to their roster in which now stands six major, well known names while two more remain unrevealed.
In less than three weeks away the ASUS ROG Stars Invite is getting closer while the remaining invites are getting fewer. Today, we are proud to announce our first non-European player Jang "oGs.SK.MC" Min Chul and our first Terran contestant Jeffrey "dignitas.SjoW" Brusi.
MC, by far the most accomplished Protoss in StarCraft 2 so far judging by prize winnings. For this multiple time GSL champion, one expression and one attitude are enough: the stoic face of destruction, and the assumption of absolute superiority no matter who the adversary is, conveyed through his trademark pre-game banter. His proclaimed career goal is to earn a million dollars in prize winnings, and he’s well on his way to achieve it - even his momentary descent to GSL Code B has been nullified by his great run at MLG Orlando this past weekend and his Code S spot reclaimed. November will show how much the ASUS ROG Stars Invite will help him on becoming a millionaire.
It’s sjowtime, so let’s get this SjoW on the road! This endless source of puns and Terran punishment is back from Korea and in better shape than ever. Many were surprised by his early return and forfeiting of his earned GSL Code A slot, while some are just happy that the talent pool is spread more outside Korea as well. Besides his GSL visit SjoW hasn’t made excessive amounts of noise lately, though that is more due to the overall skill rising in the StarCraft 2 scene instead of a slump on his part. The sjow must go on!
More details about the tournament and the final two invited players will be announced soon. Get ready.
