Squirtle did not look good at iem at all. The hype came from that 1 mvp game, cause even though he did an all kill earlier he did not look impressive making a lot of mistakes such as zealots in the back that artosis was pointing out. Ace looks code s worthy, while squirtle looks code a worthy. | ||

What if the person who wins IEM isnt Korean and does not want to go to Korea to be in code S? i assume there are still people in IEM who could fit into this, sadly i have not been following IEM and dont know so i could be wrong This didnt happen because + Show Spoiler + Ace won the IEM | ||

So it was a last minute decision based on how IEM was going. The winner was guaranteed to be a gsl player as it was squirtle, moon, ace and moonglade left once they announced it. It wasn't a preplanned decision. | ||

I know right Squirtle is just such a loser... Hope I get in his group when I tear through Group A of GSL cause I hear that's pretty easy as well. I need a cigarette after all that sarcasm. I like the idea of IEM invites for the GSL, it is the GLOBAL Star League after all. | ||

And that's because this also sends a signal to all the korean players: if you go out into the world and play well in the big tournaments, we (the gsl team) will award you for your dedication and the active role you are playing in the global starcraft scene. | ||

This was only a 1 time deal cause Idra left. So this situation will never come up again unless someone quits code s like idra. | ||

Well it's similar to how GSL also had the 3 (or was it 4?) foreigner invites for Code A this season. I kinda see it as them trying to link together all the separate tournaments being held around the world, and I really like it. | ||
