Can ToD win it with his condition? Or will there be another "I don't feel like playing" from him.

And where are guys like Soju and Infi as well as legends like ReMinD and HoT. Same with TH000 did they not watch PGL? I thought it was 16 players not eight.

Blizzard WWI always invite 8 players in SC and WC3.

And as to the list above, they can't have all the best wc3 players so they just picked 8. I think the invited players are among the best atm, was hoping to see infi though, and damn just 1 undead?...

Getting the two best players of each race would have been better imho.

friends may come and go, enemies accumulate... gg

The best are there! I don't know if ToD will be able to defend his title, but I wish him the best of luck, and to the other players as well.
This is sure going to interesting to watch :)

Considering the fact that there is an very important ShinHan Proleague match between South Korean Telecom (bisu) and Lecaf (jaedong) and seeing Bisus and Jaedongs performance in the Proleague so far, I think Jaedong is more important for Lecaf than Bisu for SKT.

So I guess Bisu will come.

It would be nice to see other names there.

Instead of Sky- infi or TH000,
Instead of moon- Soccer
Instead of Lyn- Who, Focus
Instead of FoV- Reign, lucifer, TeD (even)
Instead of grubby- Happy perhaps or some other young talent in Europe

I think raising talents don't get enough chances to express their value.

Hold the S cause i'm an AINT.

f91 and idra should be replaced by Draco and Pj, if they really want the best foreign players...

Doesnt matter much though, the koreans are gonna own this flawless - and that means not a single map lost...

friends may come and go, enemies accumulate... gg

you think idra and f91 dont deserve to be there? f91 is an amazing player and idra is very strong, draco isnt eternally the best, he was among top3 non-koreans for 1year :)

f91 is alright, but Idra is definitely weak. I don't think he belongs there.

Draco, iefnaij, pj... Any of those three are better imo.

Ok i forgot f91 is an amazing player, but idra...hmmm time will tell.

ye well, people were pleased with his performance in china, i mean he lost but games he played (tvp at least) were really good. im guessing blizzard chose players that are hottest atm, and besides pj/lx who really are very,very strong - obviusly idra is the name that is most mentioned and from whom we expect the most. i agree his performance wasnt what we expected and currently there are players better than him.
If force won't work, use greater force.
