I thought my exaggerated punctuation would be enough for people to pick up the sarcasm

The smartest thing to do would be to include a new rule saying that one can't qualify for Code A through MLG twice in a row or something similar.


How would it be unfair? If he keeps dominating in MLG, I see no reason to keep him from it.


I actually disagree. The problem is there is a very small pool of interested individuals in going to Korea that are non-residents.

Really, the actual problem is that 3 Code A spots is too much. One or two is sufficient.


That's just more of a reason to keep sending the top 3 over and over. Eventually your gonna run out of people.

You wanna give me a code A spot? Im platinum, I can take em.


The question has been answered and Naniwa is reinvited.

But let's assume in some alternate universe that Naniwa/Idra had no intention of going to Korea... but EG.Machine did. How would you feel knowing that EG.Machine consistently gets Code A invites?

Ah, crap. Now I feel like shit for saying what I said.

I didn't mean to sound disparaging, and I probably should've thought my comments through before posting. Sorry if my words stung. I really do wish you the best at MLG and in Code A next season. I'll be waiting for you to bring your a-game to the table. Good luck, and I look forward to seeing your new and improved self.

It's not really unfair to Koreans in Code B if you are having people qualify via MLG because
A) Less Seeds are given away
B) Consider it a 'foreign' code A qualifier

I think as posted before by DoA, Nani will be in Code A next season.

Anyways, I think it's good that he gets another shot, I can't imagine doing anything, let alone playing in the GSL right after a plane trip 0.0

Maybe unfair to koreans, but GSL wants Foreigners ...and we do want to see them as well!

You should be able to stack them.

Like 2 Code A invites and you get 2 spots simultaneously. Or you get a free pass to Ro16.

That would be sweet. We need someone to win GSL by amassing enough Code A invites only and never having to go to Korea.

MLG is a Code A qualifier. It may be easier than the Korean Code A qualifier, but it's still a qualifier.

I'm really glad Naniwa gets another shot at Code A. He seems committed to becoming the best, I'm sure his attitude is going to take him far now that he has Koreans to train with.

I expect that after a month of adapting to Korea, getting more training, and being well rested and not jetlagged, Naniwa should perform much better in the September Code A and win his Ro32 match.

After all, Sheth won his Ro32 and I think Naniwa is better than Sheth most days.

It is the exchange system at work. Koreans get to come here and play pool play and if one perhaps was knocked out early they would still be able to come over through pool play next time if they wanted to. Naniwa did well in two MLG events, so he has two invites. I do not see the harm. If someone else wanted that spot and did better in MLG then they could take it, but since they do not want that spot he is the man.

To the people thinking that it's unfair for Nani to get a repeat invite: Just imagine what would happen if they didn't allow it. There's 6 MLGs. By the end of the circuit, you'd be automatically giving the players who are barely hanging on to a group spot in MLG automatic Code A seeds, where they would go and get 100% obliterated. I don't think there's doubt in anyone's mind that players such as inControl or Machine would stand no chance in Korea right now, but that's what would happen if the rules didn't allow repeat invites.

Honestly, for me, Naniwa is probably one of, if not the absolute best shot the foreigners have at actually winning a GSL tournament, so I think it'd be a shame if the rules forced him to leave after just one attempt.

<3 Nani tearing through each MLG is no easy task regardless, you totally deserve a code A spot and I look forward to you eventually making it to code S and showing the koreans who is boss :D

So Naniwa, sjow, and 2 open spots? The next people in line are Ret and Slush, if one of them turns it down Sheth said he would go back on his stream and live in the oGs house, then after that its Kiwi who would probably turn it down do to his poker, Socke would be next and that would be pretty cool but i doubt it falls to him. I want to see Ret and SHETH i think they would have the best shot!!!

It's nothing to apologize for. It's the system they have in place and according to that system you have earned your Code A spots. How many other people have qualified for Code A at back to back MLGs? You're consistently performing at a higher level than other foreigners and deserve the spot^^ I'm rooting for you and hopefully some of that Korean mojo has rubbed off on you

That argument can go both ways as i see it, its fair for both.
Koreans get to play MLG, foreigners get to play GSL.

With that logic lets assume all koreans turn down code A qualifiers except the absolute worst ones.

Or nobody except the worst koreans want to go to mlg and go 0-5 in groups.

How would you feel ?

I think foreigner morale could use a dose of Korean 0-5's.

Yeah, at the minimum, 1 less. On a sidenote, foreigner Terrans don't ever make it to the top 3 foreigner spots.
