He's a freaking former GSL Champion! How could they POSSIBLY deny him a seed after his run in foreigner tournaments lately. It would be an absolute sham. IMO, it'll probably be Polt and Huk. If I had my choice in the matter it would be Polt and Stephano. Polt is a quintissential Code S Terran in my mind, and Stephano has never been to the GSL before after proving on many occasions that he's one of the few foreigners that can go toe to toe with Koreans consistently which is not something i can say about MOST of the top tier foreigner players. | ||

Stephano, Naniwa and Huk would be much better in Code S. If they're handing out seeds based on racial representation then that too is also a sham. Code S should be representative of the best in the world regardless of what race they play. Any less just cheapens it. Polt has earned that seed. He's fought his way through several Code S quality players at assembly to prove it. | ||

I really hope Stephano does decide to try it if given the Code S seed. | ||

It is true, the first time around Hero and Puma were the best choices, but maybe with putting it out there with these articles, we can show Mr. Chae that some Korean players, like Polt and Violet, do deserve strong consideration for the spots. As he must have seen, the choices of Idra and Sen (less so since he stayed in Code A), weren't the best in the world competition-wise. Maybe they can sell more tickets in America and Taiwan, but they weren't factors in the tournament themselves. | ||

The reason this seed system came to be was to make it easier for people outside of Korea to enter the GSL, because they didn't have to fly over and try out the qualifiers to even have a chance to get in. Any of the Koreans mentioned can just get back in the GSL like any other Korean, through the Code A qualifiers. If they're good enough they will get back in. Except the Code A qualifiers combined with Code A itself and the Up and Down matches is literally 3 to 4 to 10 times harder than MOST foreigner tournaments. | ||

Really curious to see who GOM goes with. Look forward to the people saying that X and Y player didn't deserve it for whatever reason though. | ||

Won NASL 1 and 2, won an IEM and came 2nd at DreamHack. Also, viOLet wouldn't accept a seed similarly to Stephano. | ||

The tweet that Mr Chae sent to Polt saying something like "Congratulations, I've been watching all night, amazing play!" if I am to believe Google Translate, could be an indication that GOM is ready to give Polt a seed. The tweet went: Jungwon Chae @WoWnStarcraft @Polt88 축하한다!!! 게임 밤새 봤다 정말 잘하더라 멋있었어 Choi Seong Hun @Polt88 @WoWnStarcraft 네 ㅎㅎ 감사합니다!! | ||

Also he deserves it after being robbed over the probe rush, and I think he'd do a lot better than huk. | ||

Sure Huk looked bad in code s and a, but he had his mojo and MLG winter, and that was a crazy stacked line up. And Polt looked like a god vs Stephano. His understanding of TvZ is amazing. I would love to see him face down DRG. | ||

If only Mill. were willing to pay him a good, proper salary to go to Korea, so that the incentive for staying in Europe was smaller. I'm sure he's not all about the money. He must have some desire to prove himself as more than "just" the best foreigner. Fingers crossed. | ||

That will obviously be harder in Korea than it is in Europe, unless he thinks he can go the whole way and finish near the top of Code S (which, honestly, I wouldn't rule out completely, if he dedicated himself to a prolonged stay).

He also said he didn't enjoy living there and that was the main reason he was happy to come back in France. He said he got bored over there, and doesn't want to stay there for sure, so... yeah, the chances to see him competing in the GSL one day seem really low | ||
