I'm kind of curious what moonglade did to get seeded into Code A, I've never really heard of him and the only accomplished player he's beaten is Loner, who doesn't seem to be much good anymore anyway. I mean if all you have to do to get into GSL is be kinda good and win a minor tournament then cool, but it seems a little strange since that means a few hundred other people should be qualifying, but they should definitely all be qualifying behind actual accomplished non-koreans like iNcontrol, NoNy, White-Ra, Machine, Select..... the list goes on....

GLAAADE! Favourite Aussi player, in both Wc3 and SC2. I still remember when he beat ToD at WCG I think it was 2 years ago (Or maybe it wasnt him, but Wolf, cant remember...).
Anyway, sign me up. Im definitely a fan!

You shouldn't favour a player that's in Korea already because you can't expect people to fly all the way to Korea just hoping that they'll get into the GOMtv house, that's pretty ridiculous. If a player applies for the GOMtv house, they're going to be committed to come over otherwise they wouldn't have applied. So that argument doesn't really make any sense.

Loner may have once been quite strong, but if you watched the finals between him and moonglade you can see he's dropped off quite significantly.

Space Invader.. Glade is top 100 on KOR ladder... He beats code A and code S players on a daily basis. excluding huk he is the highest ranked foreigner from outside of Korea.

He has won everything in SEA, he is easily top 10 foreigner outside of Korea. i.e foreigners not in korea.

I mean I really hope moonglade does well in GSL and I'm rooting for him but he's not top 100, it's kind of easy to beat anyone in a bo1 ladder situation, and he's lower ranked than a ton of players inlcuding people probably worse than him, also HuK is in Korea. And SEA success is not really much of a gauge because there's literally no one good down here, and of course it would be silly to say he's top 10 non-korean when you're considering... White-Ra DeMusliM Tarson MorroW TLO DIMAGA KiWiKaKi Socke BratOK SeleCT Kas CatZ drewbie qxc slush iNcontrol LzGaMeR uhhh i probably forgot a lot. I'm not hating on moonglade but lets be realistic here.

NonY, iNcontroL, Machine have done less than GLaDe in SC2 recently. SeleCT and White-Ra are the only players I'd put ahead of GLaDe in terms of achievements there.


Similarly, I can't recall anything slush, catz, lzgamer, socke, bratok, demuslim, or TLO have done recently of note - though it might be because of a lack of familiarity with big EU events. In fact, I don't know why you mention them when they are not even in Korea.

I don't know how you can call IEM qualification a 'small tournament' and say there's no one good in SEA when Kowi for one was #1 in Top 200 on NA, as well as various other players playing in higher ping getting top50 NA a while back. And GLaDe didn't just do well in these events (with 200ms ping mind you) but dominated every single event he was in. There's no guarantee anyone from that list would do the same and for half of them there's not even a really high probability.

If you want recent results and BoX series not on SEA server look at the last FXOpen Invitationals where GLaDe threw coLstalife to the lower bracket, and then knocked out CatZ, Spades (in Korea), HayprO (another Code A invite) and Azz to come top 6 in a tournament of 32 world class players. Then in the next one he put an oGs member oGsJ into the lower bracket BO3 and lost a close series 1-2 against another top oGs protoss and ex-BW player.

On top of this, GOM actually specified ladder rank would hold weight in these selections and GLaDe has been consistently among the top ranked foreigners on the Korean ladder while playing with 400 ping while in Aus - and he has just jumped up further now he is over there with the latency everyone else is using.

I am beginning to think you got beaten up by Andy as a kid or something. Can we get it out of a thread full of people who appreciate and celebrate GLaDe now?
