Not to sound harsh, because certainly these guys are a lot better than some ppl in Code S now, but this seems a rather arbitrary decision.
Because they'd lose 1/2 a day's worth of content.

So the winner of IEM has a guarenteed spot in Code A next season even if they lose their up/down match? Since they're basically replacing Idra?

Yep, that seems to be the case.

Oh, the horror!

To be fair those left in IEM are all Code S worthy, maybe not so much Moon. I wonder what they would have done if Idra was still in the Semi's delay the announcement till he was knocked out  ?

Right back at you.

Well moonglade, its now or never, lol
|
well seems ok, i feel its kind of unfair for those in code A though that hoped that they could get an easier shot into Code S, now, how do they replace the guy that goes to Code S?
|
Edit: Wrong thread - mod delete? I have no idea how

Even Squirtle and Moonglade? Who lost 2-0 to Moon? On what basis are they more eligible for Code S than moon?

They make their money off the content. So, yes, it would be a very serious problem.

I'm not digging the way it's going about. Maybe if the top 4 in IEM were others but it's all code A people. Can you imagine moonglade making it to code S before ret? Moonglade is good but there would be other deserving players who deserve code s. Then win iem and then an up and down match is much easier than going through code A I think
|
this is probably one of the stupidest decisions ever lol, coda a players are gonna be pissed. It almost seems like they just came up with this idea on the fly once they say all 4 players left in iem were code a. Stupid!

There are many ways to fill time other than arbitrarily giving somebody a spot in Code A, even though they just recently failed to qualify it.
Sure, it's a nice chance for players we know and like to get back into the game while not losing content, but in so doing they compromise the integrity of the qualification system they use.

Wow, hoping to see Moonglade in code S!
|
Well they do need someone to fill that spot in. If only white ra was in top4 then I would be really excited about the announcement

You mean like inviting Huk?
|
Thats a fair way to do it.
|
People that hoping for Moonglade to win IEM is just too optimistic. He needs to get pass 2 KOREANS in 2 BO5. I don't think so. This announcement was more for the 3 Koreans than moonglade.
|
What kinda decision is this? How terrible... seems out of the blue. Just have the "Idra" spot lose its way out of Code A. Not sure who GOM is trying to impress with this news, I guess an attempt to draw more foreign fans? It just comes off as random with no real meaning behind it.
