what the... another player drop out? i feel sorry for the koreans who struggle in code a every season, idra and sen don't deserve this. idra is understandable though, its a good business decision for gom, and they can justify it by saying he dropped his code s earlier this year. sen though?

This is bs and de-legitimizes getting a code s spot. If you don't have to play a match knowing your potential code s spot is on the line, you shouldn't get code s.

I love watching Sen play. Looking forward to seeing him in Code S. Congratulations.

Ok...first of all congrats to Sen, he's a very good player and I believe he is capable of getting a spot even through the qualifiers. That being said however, just handing spots is incredibly unfair to everyone in Korea who has had to work really really hard and spend grueling months trying to go through a low prize pool qualifier to have a shot at code S.

I'm pretty sure in the new format Gom has 2 Code S spots to give away.

And according to that, NaNiwa got the first one due to MLG and an "unknown" Code S dropped which means IdrA got it, which means SEn has the 2nd spot.

Wow, this is bullshit. They are just randomly inviting people. It's OK to give foreigner spots to Code A or for Up&Downs but why would they give one for free for Code S. That's like spitting the MLG exchange system in the face where players have to earn that spot.

maybe that's from the unknown last seed, rewarding best finishing non Code-S player in big tourney (blizzard inv)

Several South Koreans are tweeting that Sen's spot in Code S is being freed by GOM banning Naniwa.

<3 Sen one of my top 5 favorite players. He better prepare hard though, he didn't do quite as well as he should have at Dreamhack/NASL (even though he got 3rd)

Sen might not win tournaments, but he always places extremely highly and is very very good.

Some admin could just lock this thread and edit the Idra to Code S thread.

Grats to Sen though.

WTH is gom doing? Free code S spots? And i thought the up & downs spots were bad enough.
Idra used to be code S and then he left. I'm not comfortable with that but it's still ok. But sen is just not on code S level. He got dominated by hero, a code A player.

Idra I could understand, hes been there before, got to ro8, continually did better in Code S every season etc. But Sen? Idk I feel like theres more deserving others but I can't really think of anyone that immediately comes to mind sadly. Maybe Hero or Puma lol.
