Huk's bracket in this MLG was insanely lucky.. I don't think he deserves the seed atm.
His bracket to 3rd place was an absolute joke compared to anyone else in the top 8. He beat 3 foreigners and then of course, a PvP coinflip for his one Korean.
Ganzi beat MC and MVP and some foreigners. Naniwa beat Grubby, Sheth, Nestea and Leenock. They took 7th and 8th to Huks 3rd lol. I feel like Huk wouldn't have even been top 8 in literally any other bracket, his play during the tournament did not even look very impressive, lots of cheese and DTs summed it up. MKP and DRG stomped him fairly easily.
Naniwa, Polt, MKP, Violet and Stephano (doubt he'd take it though) are all more deserving of the seed based on recent play. Smartest move would probably be to give one to Naniwa, just because it would make for the best story line, getting his seed taken away and then Gom forgiving him and giving him a new chance to prove himself. I'm sure a lot of people would tune in to watch that.
Would also love to see Kas, Nerchio and Demuslim in the GSL one day, whether code A or code S. I'm fine with some foreigners getting seeds even if they aren't quite as good as Koreans, it brings in more viewers and adds more excitement and international interest to the tournament. However, they should only get one chance as a code S seed and if they fail miserably and drop straight to code b from code s, like Idra did, they shouldn't just get another seed over other foreigners.

Polt and Naniwer
SuK and Crydra can try and qualify through Code A
Lol did you just make that up made me laugh quite a bit.
I think it'll go to Violet, MKP, Polt most deserved for Spots!

Would be very sad to see HuK get this over Naniwa. His performance at mlg was better even though he placed lower. They both lost to same opponents, but nani killed the 2nd and 3rd best zergs in the world (playing incredibly).
Also he deserves it after being robbed over the probe rush, and I think he'd do a lot better than huk.
Played incredibly? Proxy 2 gate to beat Nestea? truly incredible.

DeMuslim is a good choice I think as he's shown a lot of promise lately. He's a better choice than Greg, who can't get his head on straight yet.

You don't need more Terrans in GSL, especially not one like Polt. There's a reason he's not in the GSL anymore. Stephano, Naniwa and Huk would be much better in Code S.
Wait, what? Didn't Polt beat Stephano in the finals of Assembly? If that is true then how is Stephano deserving of it but not Polt?
Of the players listed, I think that Polt and MarineKing are going to get it. If MKP advances to Code S anyways, Virus wouldn't be that bad of a choice. He has proven he is quite good recently.

i think the Only player WhOdeserve a Code S spot are  NaNiwa  Polt and Violet, HuK doesn't deserve it, neither IdrA and  Stephano isn't willing to go back to Korea.

Naniwa to code S and SaSe to code A!
Naniwa had better run at MLG. All Huk did is beat 3 foreigners and win one PvP with a korean. And they both lost to MKP and DRG.

Why are people whining about how Naniwa and HuK win their games? When thousands of dollars are on the line for your own salary and success....who cares? People whine because they have never been in a booth before and have never had to work for their own salary. You do what you have to do to win money to survive. Stop whining.
But to be honest they should stop giving out Code S seeds and only give out Code A seeds. The foreigner skill level is still so much below the Korean skill level that Code S is out of reach for the foreigner pool of pros.
It's obvious that if anyone should have to take the spot, Stephano deserves the spot at the moment but if he doesn't take it then they should just get rid of the spots and let two more Up-and-down candidates through.

We need people who are willing to do what it takes to win getting shots at code S.
The only goal is to win. The rest is cosmetics.

Stephano is the only one that really deserves it, but he probably doesn't want it. Naniwa would be a good pick, but he has already burned so many chances that it would make the 'system' seem stupid. The rest should be forced to qualify like everyone else. I'd rather they scrap the seeds than give them to undeserving players.

So many great foreigners. Its too bad alot of them seem hesitant to go over there, I really think we could have a Foriegn Champ in one of these players.
|
They shouldn't give any seeds to the foreigners, especially huk or idra they both fell out of code s and a on their own account. It would set a terrible example if Gom would rescue every "hyped" foreigners who falls to code B with a code S seed, every time.
Invite Polt and Violet they both deserve it, i rather watch 2 deserving Korean players than the only 2 guys who did NOTHING to deserve it except being white.

Tbh, I think that spots should be given to players who are at least been month in KR. I mean its so hard to go from Europe and considering all changes (culture, weather, gameplay, KR Practice) and perform well, I think foreingers need some adjustments and giving spot to player like Demuslim ( who never been to KR) , i think he will fail 0-2 , unless he wont get some time in KR practice house.

P.S.: anybody remember the raffle from Take, where the first prize was a Döner and the second a HD Plasma TV?
Having a good Döner (a real good one) is worth much more than a HD Plasma TV! No mistake made over there.

lol tbh I am rooting for Huk to get it... nice + cute + always solid + proved his mettle = why not?
|
I'm with the OP on this one...Huk definitely and I would LOVE to see Hero! He's a lot better than people seem to be giving him credit for...

Did you see game 2? Was a response to that. People love to thrown in individual games without any of the context just to shit on players.
As for the seeds, I don't think they should be giving seeds for Code S so I'll abstain.

The whole article just comes off as some sort of vague, baseless whine about Gomtv losing "integrity" without ever clarifying what classes as having integrity in the first place. Terrible article really. There was no explicit statement made that the seeds were meant to be rigid or results based anyway, and why should they be?
see the op of this: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=315639 Fair enough I guess, but that states no timeline those results should have come within, and it still doesn't really address the rest of my post.
Well, guess you found out why I didn't quote your whole post then.
