Hero, Ret, Taeja among the first Assembly Summer invites

ASUS ROG have announced the first eight players that will travel to Helsinki, Finland for Assembly Summer 2012 in August 2-4.

Naama is the only person in this patch that did not receive his spot via invite request but is given one due to his Vectorama 2012 LAN victory over Welmu. The remaining players are Liquid's trio Ret, Hero and Taeja; Ai's Cytoplasm who recently made an amazing DH Open Summer run, defeating Puma, Dragon and Morrow; Ukraine's strongest terran Kas; the WCS champion of Germany Socke; and Finland's PvP maestro Elfi.
