BenKen Profile Joined August 2009 United States 860 Posts #12 Oh this is sick. I hope a lot of the non-koreans can go.



Also, to echo rift, MATCH POINT?!? Cool, I guess. Haven't seen that on in SC2 yet. I deadlift for Aiur

JustPassingBy Profile Blog Joined January 2011 10619 Posts #13 Nice, I'll definitely look forward to it.

The non-Korean, non-Chinese invites could've been better though. :-/

Nevertheless, if this is streamed in a good time here in Europe,

I'll definitely watch it!
