ESL has just released the four remaining players to complete the groups of the 5th edition of the Intel Extreme Masters World Championship. Three players from Korea and the American Gregory A. "IdrA" Fields complete the field.

Although all four slots were supposed to be going to Korea, ESL decided to go along and invite IdrA to the finals. In the announcement it says:"Of course IdrA isn't a Korean, but he surely can be considered as from Korea when it comes to StarCraft, although he announced his departure from Korea some days ago."

Besides IdrA, Jang Jae "Moon" Ho, Park Hyun "Squirtle" Woo, and Jung Woo "Ace" Seo will head to Hannover next week to compete for a prize pool of $30,000 in the World Championship.

Not surprisingly, there will be no Code S player attending at CeBIT. Even now it remains to be see whether the Korean players will forfeit their Code A matches, assuming they will win this week's matches.
