@AcerMki: Especially that Naniwa said about 8 hours ago that he wasn't going.
@AcerMki: Posting of this list has been coordinated with TaKe and nothing here was posted without his knowledge, don't worry :) That said, these are the players that confirmed their participation, but of course nothing is ever final, especially when there are as many as 32 players coming from all over the world. For more updates on the event stay tuned to http://taketv.net where you will find fresh info.
