We previously reported here that Gretech, the company who owns GOM Player, will host an invitational tournament consisting of 16 Korean progamers. Today, the official press release was posted and it contains the maps, groups and schedule.

Another new thing has been added however; the games will also be broadcasted with English support, and the man in charge is Nick “Tasteless” Plott, probably the most famous and best StarCraft shoutcaster. The games will be available for live stream on the GOM Tv English page, www.gsi.gomtv.com.

Here are the 16 players - Korea's finest, including former OSL and MSL winners - and the way they are placed into groups:

GOMTv StarCraft Invitational League
Group	Players
Group A	sAviOr	- 1st place - 2005 UZOO MBCGame StarLeague - 2nd place - 2005-26 CYON MBCGame StarLeague - 1st place - 06 Pringles MBCGame StarLeague S1 - 1st place - 06 Pringles MBCGame StarLeague S2 - 2nd place - 06-07 GOMTV MBCGame StarLeague S 1 - 1st place - 2006-2007 3rd ShinHan Bank OnGameNet StarLeague - 2nd place - 07 Shinhan Bank OnGameNet Masters - 3rd place - 2007 WCG Korea Finals (Because results speak for themselves)
Group A	Flash	With no major achievements but a very solid play style, this new KTF player has become one of the keys to success for his team. Flash has no relative weak match-ups, which makes him dangerous to every opponent he will encounter.
Group A	AnyTime	AnyTime has a very good chance in his group, mostly due to the fact that his recent results are extremely encouraging. He is definitely an experienced player that will play a big role in this league.
Group A	Mind	WeMade FOX's Inter.Mind is a young Terran player that managed to surprise the world last year by defeating Bisu in the MSL Season 3 finals. Will he show the same skill again? He will surely put up a nice fight.
Group B	JaeDonG	After winning the last OSL, JaeDonG showed the world he is one of the best Zerg players at the moment. With great ZvT and ZvZ, he managed to upgrade his ZvP too and now he is one of the favorites to win this league.
Group B	NaDa	NaDa is probably the most accomplished player in StarCraft. With so many achievements, he is surely under surveillance by everybody and although his latest results haven't been quite what we would expect from him, NaDa seems to get back in shape. His opponents should fear him like they did in his golden days.
Group B	Much	Much is a steady player. He has been in the scene for quite some time, with good results most of the time. He may not seem the favorite here but he will definitely be a tough Protoss to do battle with.
Group B	BoxeR	This man doesn't need an introduction. He is the most famous player and being a fan of BoxeR means being a fan of StarCraft. Without him, this game would have been much more different and the entertaining potential that BoxeR brought to StarCraft is priceless. Even though he is in the AirForce ACE team, BoxeR still plays and his games will surely be great as always.
Group C	Stork	After winning the World Cyber Games, Stork kept going forward. His silver medal in the most recent OSL proves that he is an exceptional player, just like his #2 KeSPA spot that he has this month.
Group C	IriS	He lost the OSL Season 1 2007 in what can be called an upset (yes, an upset, because he was in a great shape and he was the favorite there). He is known for his great TvT match-up but he soon started to augment his other match-ups, especially his TvZ, hence the nickname Berserker Terran.
Group C	HwaSIn	HwaSIn can be called STX SouL's TvZ wonder because he dismantled powerful Zerg opponents. After winning the WCG Korea, he showed good results with his other match-ups so he can be seen as a powerful opponent, even though his recent results don't really show this.
Group C	free	Free is not a very accomplished player. However, his consistency and steadines within the rankings and leagues have made him a possible contender, especially in the PvZ matches. Should he bring his A-game, he will surely show some great results here.
Group D	Bisu	Bisu revolutionized PvZ as we know it. After defeating the Zerg Maestro, he became famous and his multitasking skills were feared by every opponent he encountered. With his achievements, Bisu stands a great chance of winning this event but only time will tell.
Group D	Sea	Sea's stats are impressive, to say the least. This Terran player, although young, is one of MBCGame HERO's most important possesions. He cannot possibly be ignored, as he will surely be a hard nut to crack.
Group D	GGplay	After defeating IriS in that famous OSL, turning a 0-2 result to a 3-2 score in his favor, GGplay didn't show anything else too eye-catching. His Zerg play style is solid nonetheless, but since his latest games weren't convincing, he might have a hard time here.
Group D	Light	Light has been for quite some time on the scene, but he wasn't exactly an exceptional player with fantastic strategies. However, he still has the game mechanics set at a high level and he is definitely a player that can turn around some results in his favor.
