To win a Code A seed you had to place top 4 in a weekly event to get entered into the monthly finals, and only the winner (or highest placing non gsl player) of that would actually get the seed) | ||

Also who do you think would say that? The korean fans? The players? I am pretty sure that the koreans respect a lot of the foreigners ability to keep up with the top koreans. I doubt that anything like that would have been said if a foreigner did that to a korean. Think a little harder before you make those dumb accusations. What? What makes me think the Koreans will act like that? Maybe the OP makes me think that given their terrible reaction to this. Also I just realised I wrote something about Naniwa in a hype blog that completely explains why this should have been the expected outcome: On May 13 2011 09:06 ComusLoM wrote: Naniwa is Lewis Nixon ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/VaGGY.gif) “Oh, I have every confidence in my scrounging abilities, and I have a case of Vat '69 hidden in your footlocker. “ “ ...to be honest I really want to become the first bonjwa after some consideration” Naniwa is known to have had his problems just like Nixon’s drinking, his team history was almost as long as his BoX win streak and in his early career he was known for bad manner, abuse colossus builds and being kicked out of ESL Pro Series Germany, akin to Lew’s demotion. But to be honest, who cares? Naniwa is a beast, perhaps he is THE beast. What seems to be a common trend for Swedish players that win MLG titles is that they receive a huge boost to their confidence and their tournament results reflect this. In a few days Naniwa will play in the finals of arguably the most prestigious Starcraft 2 tournament of all time, the TSL3. And whether he wins or loses he has already made history. I for one believe he will continue the tradition of Protoss winning the TSL and no one will bat an eyelid if he wins, he is certainly not the underdog. However he was the underdog when he travelled with ease through the MLG Open bracket, not losing a single game until the final where he managed to lose a whole 2 to two time silver medallist and 2-4 MLG loser Kiwikaki. Naniwa may not have won the road to Korea tournament losing his first boX series in a long time (he won 35 in a row to be exact) to Sase in the final, but there is no doubt that he will be trying at some point in the future. At the moment Naniwa is the only MLG champion not to have competed in the GSL Code S tournament, an interesting distinction. Naniwa has broken many records, but if you want more hype just check out Plexa's Hype Thread Also this was the best possible outcome for GOM. An hour long epic slugfest would not have generated nearly this type of response and publicity for this tournament. | ||

'I hope to give good games'. I don't consider a games with 5 rax of one base, proxy-stuff, rushed 2-port-banshee and whatever to be good, yet the same guys are gfiving these games. It's just formal bullshit just as whenever a player leaves the team it's the same boring "didn't fit our style, great man, good luck in future" and how every new team is "an experience to broaden my skill as a player and an oppertunity to become better". | ||

Coca purposefully lost an already won game becuase Byun point blank asked him to ( there were screencaps of the chatlog ) so they'd go to a game three . Also coca vs byun was not pointless, if Byun could get post coca and win the tournament he had a shot at a code A spo t( through the monthly playoffs or however they set that up I forget the format ) which coca being code s would not need. I'm not saying what Nani did is right by any means just clarifying the differences in situations. | ||
