The invite list for the ESWC Masters Warcraft3 tournament has now been finalised and it sees an invite for Xiaofeng "Sky" LI of World Elite who after losing his national qualifier needs to finish top two in order to qualify for the Grand Finals.

Some players competing have already qualified for the Grand Final through their national qualifiers such as Dennis "Hasuobs" Schneider of Mousesports. Seong Deok "Soju" Lee also auto-qualifies for the Grand Final having won the ESWC 2007.

The prize money for the tournament is:

1. $2,500
2. $1,500
3. $1,000

The 16 international players invited are:

Demigod (Iran)
Diesel (Bulgaria)

that's a lineup of players people want to see. Most of the big names but also some of the best national players that usually don't get invioted to China.

lol this won't be an easy thing for Sky. I doubt that he will finish top2. Needs to be a good day for him, so many different players with different strategies.
