Nine more gamers hop on board for the ASUS ROG Assembly Winter that is to start February 24th. With the player pool now up to 31, the tournament now awaits only the ESV TV Grand Prix 1 winner who shall make the list full.

Eight days have passed since the previous batch of Assembly invites was announced, including the names of BratOK, Happy, Puma, JYP and more. It was also made known then that the last eight invites will prudently be postponed till after the qualifiers of MLG Winter Arena are over.

Alas, there has been a slight change in that number as Fnatic's protoss ToD has cancelled his participation due to personal reasons. Thus, the number of invites have been increased to nine in order to bring the total of confirmed players to 31.

The list is headed by "Grandpa toss" WhiteRa and his compatriot Bly. Being two of the most renowned players both in their country and abroad, the duo steps in to strengthen the Ukrainian contingent that thus far consisted of Kas and Strelok. To make the European vibe even more intense, ASUS ROG will also be bringing the terrans Cloud and DieStar, as well as the Scandinavian protosses Bischu and Welmu.

South Korea's representatives in this batch of invites are Lucky, Phoenix and Real. As a result, the number of Korean flags at Assembly Summer now counts up to nine, also including Moon, Polt, HerO, SeleCT, Puma and JYP.
