e-Stars 2008: The vote is open!

As reported earlier, e-Stars Seoul 2008 will be held in the space of four days, from July 24-27, 2008 at the Seoul International Trade Exhibition Centre (SETEC).

The administration has revealed today that the tournament will follow a system of players separated in 2 teams, based on their respective regions (Asia and Europe). Both teams will consist of 3 players each, and will be led by a team manager.

A total of 16 players divided into 2 teams have been shortlisted to participate in this prestigious tournament, with a staggering prize pool of up to US$75,000. 3 players from each division will then be selected to compete in this tournament through a selection process.

Fans and supporters will soon be able to vote for their favourite players at the official e-Stars Seoul website , which will account for 50% of the selection process. The other half will be decided from each individual’s achievements of 2007-2008 (20%), and the organizing committee (30%).

Interestingly enough, French Warcraft hero, France Human mouz.ToD has been omitted from the list.

Update: According to the official website, Sweden Undead PGS.FuRy and Croatia Nightelves PGS.Zeus have been replaced by Germany Undead aTTaX.XlorD and Germany Undead mTw-Protois.

Sky / Moon / Lyn representing Asia is the definition of futility for Europe ^_^
Who knows how the patch will change things however.

It would be great to see Sky not being able to win with tower rushes or turtle gryphons.
It would be great to see Moon losing to ORC in a battle where he has higher pop :D
It would be great to see Lyn..... well i doubt any UD will get selected so it wont matter if the match up changes.

Europe should definately be:

Grubby, Hot, Sase.

Xyligan was a very good player but he is a bit rusty currently.

Asia:
Moon
Sky
Lyn

Europe:
Grubby
SaSe
HoT

Why not ToD?

They didnt nominate ToD because of the last year "incident" at E-stars. ToD wanted air-conditioned room for playing and e-stars managemeng had promised that he will but they didnt stand their word and then ToD refused to play the tourney. Smells like revenge.

Good chances? You must be kidding :)) I think the europe LU from this pick should be grubby,happy,hot
(last year)  #15 prototo
 
Moon Sky Lyn is a sick team! wohhaaa

I think Moon, Lyn, Grubby and Hot are 100% seeded.

No ToD, yet they have 3 of his teammates, no Xlord.
I think Xlord and ToD over Fury and Zeus.

Miou also could have made this list.

indeed

deadman is like dead..(not literally)very inactive
insomia retired and he was not a high class material unlike before when some pros were still learning wc3 abcs
creo retired like so yesterday
tod dismissed

id say xyli is good but happy and xlord can do better along with grubby(as usual) sase hot(recently won SEC)

Strength lies not in defense but in attack!

no more fury and zeus -.-
(last year)  #42 theifzz
 
however, last i checked, the favourites are losing in votes

Grubby vote done.

I guess these votes will have the usual exploiting problems. Luckily the vote is weighted.

It will be interesting if Fly100% gets selected as this means either Sky, Moon or Lyn would miss out.

They stated Tod didnt get invited because of his attitude problems last time he was at the tournament.

I guess the line has been drawn. Unfortunately Tod can't win as other players are willing to play through these barriers.

STFU and SHOP!

All you can shop, right in there. MYM shirts, NNScript goodies, and other stuff the ESNation network has to offer. If you can't find it there, we don't sell it! Are you ready to STFU?
It has been confirmed from DTS-Cup 2009 that some of the top teams, such as fnatic, SK-Gaming, ALTERNATE and mousesports, won't participate in the tournament....
