This International will be a lot stronger than the first one. Lot of teams in incredible form, hope the Chinese will also improve to make it even crazier.

These teams get early invites is very reasonable, because of the VISA problems.. and these are incredibly strong teams so no doubt this is going to be an huge event in Seattle

if you know him, you would know why. Back in the days he was a cool guy, now he is mega arrogant and treats people like thrash. Thats why.

There must be a few teams shitting themselves now because of changing rosters in the last week.

Dont know what you are on about Mikey he always says he is a bad player and is their manager.

Seeing as aL is one of the currently most stable teams this was not much of surprise. They're playing really good and I'm looking forward to them

I'm not sure about Orange though...I feel like they've been struggling a bit.

It wont be any US teams, because they dont have visa issues, it will be either chinese team or east european

exGosu aka Quantic will hopefully get an invite. The way mTw has been playing, should see them get invited. I think EG, M5, Zenith, and Mouz are obvious choices, too.
