Still hoping for Dimaga, and of course the beast from the east. I guess I'd like to see TT1 and Morrow go too. Hell all of team world should make an appearance

This has the potential to be the most epic tournament since the beginning of SC2. Imagine if every qualified foreigner cleared scheduling conflicts and attended (that's Idra, Jinro, Huk, Dimaga, TT1, Whitera, Morrow, Moonglade, Sen) fighting with top Koreans (MC, MVP, Nestea, MKP, Nada, etc.), with GSL's production quality, Tastosis commentating (with the added chance of day9)... If everything adds up this will be freakin ridiculous

Will IdrA be competing? I'm sure just showing up will pay for his trip to korea. But he may want to focus on NASL.

Apparently he said on his stream that he isn't going. Also, there's no prizes for 33rd-64th places, meaning that if he loses in the first round he gets nothing. And even if he makes it to Ro32, he gets only about $930 US.
On another note, not sure how they're going to handle tiebreak situations... which could very well be likely with LiveForever (military service) and the other unconfirmed foreigners not participating. Assuming only Loner and Sen are confirmed, that leaves 7 additional spaces up for grabs which extends the cut off line to #71. That's just after Keen and before Violet. In this case there's no need for a tiebreaker as Keen has 163 points and Violet has 130.
But what if one other foreigner wants to come and the cut off point is #70? Now the cut-off is between Ryung and Keen and both are on equal points, with similar performances (Code A Ro4 in the same season). It'll be interesting how they settle the tiebreakers which might arise, considering the tight schedule they have.
But either way looking forward to the tournament. Get to see names like Moon and Maka back... even though there's a highly likely chance they'll get eliminated early.

Soooo hyped for this. Unfortunately my finals are during the first week of june, so I'll most likely miss the early rounds.

Does bomber have enough now? If enough of the World Team come back, he can be pushed away.

He has basically defined the Protoss race in SC2. Before GSL open 3 most people considered Protoss the weakest race, then he turned up and crushed everyone, which he did again two seasons later and taught the world how to play Protoss. I laugh so hard every time I see people call MC cheesy or lucky, quit listening to Nony (who has won exactly nothing) about Sc2 and start actually watching games, MC is a total beast who will continue to be the best Protoss in the world for the forseeable future. Alright lets 5gate with 15 forcefields. Hes not that good. He 4 gated and 5 gated July in GSL which was a terrible finals.

He's won 2 GSLs, Dreamhack all star tourney, and the Copenhagen tourney. No, he's not that good at all...

If it was that easy to do everyone would do it. MC is the main reason people think toss is OP.
It's MC's execution, decision making and aggression which make him the best.

this is ridiculous on people saying MC is "not as good".... He's still considered one of the best players in the world. protoss looks easy b/c MC made protoss OP
|
mOOnGLaDe said on Twitter that he had to choose between this or MLG. No word on what he picked yet.

I think what people mean when they say "MC is not that good" Is that he is not litarally a god. He's is very very good.. but he is not unstopable. He plays risky and gets punished for it.. Even someone like poltprime could punish his risky builds (note that I'm not saying that polt is bad.. just that no one really thought he'd have a chance against MC.. but he did).
