Only seven days until Intel Extreme Masters will officially start into its sixth season at the Global Challenge Cologne. While all European, American, Chinese and South-East Asian players had been determined via qualifiers some weeks ago, four participants of the StarCraft II tournament were still unknown until now. It's time to raise the curtain, here are our invites from Korea, which resulted from a cooperation with the Korean GSL.
MarineKing is one of the best and most consistent Korean Terrans being the only one, who reached the GSL Finals three times. Next in the list of our Korean invites is NASL's first champion PuMa followed by Killer, an ambitious Protoss from Team SCV Life. Last but not least is a Non-Korean, who currently lives and plays in Korea. It's Canada's export hit HuK, winner of two big tournaments this summer: Dreamhack and HomeStory Cup #3.
Furthermore we had to replace the Chinese representative, which will be replaced by MaNa from Poland. With all participants known, we can now present the final groups for gamescom's tournament. The top two of each group will advance to a Single Elimination bracket, where Cologne's Champion will be determined.

It was unavoidable after there turned out to be 2 Terrans from Korea, because HuK, our first confirmed player from Korea, added the condition to his confirmation that he could only start on day 2.
