I would love to see him at HSC since he is #1 Terran but I don't believe he would be a good fit. Regardless of that I would invite him to our tournaments. If I imagine we can run a HSC with 50-100k prizepool and he would suddenly want to come I am very honest to say that I wouldn't be interested to invite him purely on the fact that I feel if this is just about money and not being part of HSC I rather have the #2 Terran that can still enjoy the event, play some DDR etc. ;-) Look, I've never met Maru and don't know how he would fit or not, but let's look at the other side of his play. He had health issues and I would bet he's still having them. So let's look at this from this view. Would he go to Germany to make his health worse for "low" prizepool? Well, of course no. Would he go if there would be way more money? Maybe? Can we blame a player with health issues he';s trying to cherry pick big cash tournaments only? I wouldn't blame him, but hey, I'm a Maru fanboy I get your view and as you're the tournament it's your choice, I will watch HSC even if you would refuse Maru(at least from VODs as this time, new job = no time). I just wanted to present the other side of SC2, not the happy one. (I'm still missing Mvp in GSL finals) | ||

I know he plays BW now, but I get the fanboy thing...I'd be fine with sacrificing a lot if say Jaedong got an invite. | ||

Starting the finals one game up I thought 'This will be cool to watch! soO is likely gonna take the finals, he has looked unstoppable so far and he starts one game up.' But after the long first game on Darkenss Sanctuary that Inno was destined to lose, soO just started to look more and more tired after each game. It's a mental thing at this point - guy just crumbles under the weight of all the pressure. They should sponsor a soO redemption tournament where the players are pre-seeded with all the decent players + soO on one side and a few NA masters players on the other side | ||

They are commonly held by well-established franchises and are considered especially prestigious amongst the community. Personally don't think HSC counts for most of that. But then again SSL challenge and Cross finals do apparently. On another note, I do think WeSG as a competition is underrated. People seem to disregard it completely in terms of TY/Maru's achievements. With the exception of like one or two foreigners, TY and Maru's only challenge was each other. That's why it's disregarded. | ||

This tournament Inno was the only top Korean Terran, even if he wasn't in great form, and Korean Zergs haven't had much success against them for a while. Even with soO's second place finishes for the last couple of years he's consistently been the best Zerg in the world besides Rogue. | ||

I'm all for the larger groups/pools but feel like they should be seeded a little better. | ||

I feel really bad for Solar he went 23-7 in map score and even goes 5-3 against INnoVation, but still loses getting a 4th place finish. | ||
