The International Esports Festival administration has, according to Mousesports.com, invited nine players from around the world for their upcoming event on October 30, instead of holding a qualifier.



While regular and motivated invitees such as Manuel "Grubby" Schenkhuizen, Pedro "LucifroN" Moreno Durán, Mykhaylo "HoT" Novopashyn and Dmitry "Happy" Kostin can be found on the list, one can also see retired Kim "SaSe" Hammar, Hamish "Kowi" Parker and Andrew "mOOn-GLaDe" Pender on there.

Chanin "Kumai" Tingruttanasuwan, last seen in the ESWC Masters of Cheonan four months ago, is another unusual invite on the list. Kumai was unable to move past his group, which to his defense had ESWC 2008 champion Du Seop "WhO" Chang and Xiang "TH000" Huang in it.

Nikolaus "SonKiE" Cassidy, who had a tough time at BlizzCon losing to Grubby and Nicker, will represent the United States in the nearing event.

June "Lyn" Park, Du Seop "WhO" Chang and Deok Man "SocceR" Youn qualified through the Korean qualifier last weekend. Prior to that, Xiang "TH000" Huang, Weiliang "Fly100%" Lu, Xuwen "Infi" Wang and Zhuo "TeD" Zeng qualified in the Chinese qualifier.

Jae Ho "Moon" Jang, in strength of being the reigning champion, is also invited to the event.
