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Update: According to the official website, Sweden Undead PGS.FuRy and Croatia Nightelves PGS.Zeus have been replaced by Germany Undead aTTaX.XlorD and Germany Undead mTw-Protois.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

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.

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.
