The 2 picks should really be Huk and Naniwa , or 2 good koreans that have fallen of code S..

Since they give direct to code S seeds , i really hope that one of those goes to Naniwa , he sucked hard at the blizzard cup and he really needs something like this to give him hope and willpower to train harder ..

SC2 is alive and well , matches are action packed and mostly well played and we all love to root for the foreigners , its like Korea vs the world , i like it

The obvious ones is Polt, MKP and Stephano.
I think Violet and DeMusliM kinda deserves one too.

I feel like they shouldn't give these seeds to players who just fell out of GSL, such as Huk and Polt. Let them simmer for a season, if they can't get back in, maybe invite them then...

As much as I'd LOVE Polt or Violet to get back to code S, I really don't think they should give code S seeds to people who bombed out of GSL very recently. Would rather have that some 'fresh' blood got code S invites than polt/violet/huk. Naniwa/Stephano/Ret/Kas/Demuslim are all good I'd say, or even just giving CoCa his old code S back (the dude was sick good).

Honestly, huk just does not deserve it. He only won games with all in play versus Ret, won some PvPs and got absolutely destroyed in any macro game he tried. Huks not worth a code s spot.

Why in god's name would any foreigner be deserving?

One will probably get in anyway :/

Perhaps you should extend the discussion to the Up/Down Seeds as well. You make it seem like Violet is a really farfetched pick for Code S, but giving him an Up/Down seed doesn't seem too bad. Same for someone like Puma.

And importantly, the Up/Downs are closer in time than the next season of Code S, so it makes for a more important discussion.

No foreigner deserves it. It should go to violet and polt.

I think Naniwa should get a seed because of how he was robbed of one. For number two I vote Coca or Polt. Huk needs to show more recent consistency than one 3rd place finish before he gets a seed. Wait a season and give it to him if he properly ends his slump.

NaNiwa and TaeJa ... TaeJa is really amazing and he was unlucky at Assembly where he met Polt in the first round ... NaNiwa was pushed enough by GOM and also it is important to have at least one foreigner in GSL (for example I will not buy GSL pass unless there is a foreigner)

I second this.Violet wasn't that good last time and now he is surprising me with such a strong finish at MLG Arena and won IEM San Paulo.But i doubt he take it.Polt is also deserving for this Code S seed.
Play your best

What did Naniwa achieve in 2012? 8th/9th @ MLG. Huk placed 3rd.
How come Naniwa deserves the spot more?

Yes HuK played bad around the time he spend almost all of his time on plains and tournaments. But the reason is kinda obvious.. Now that he is getting back in shape and travels/competes less he is better again.

Regarding the skill I don't see huge differences, HuK however didn't forfeit GomTV matches.

Still they will probably get Naniwa if they cannot / don't want to get IdrA. One foreign "badboy" is needed to attract a certain kind of fans.

I would really like to see Stephano in GSL sooner or later, I want to know how he will do in real competition, so far he has almost always been at the events with the lesser player pool.
On the other hand, Koreans know Stephano too well, he wouldn't stand a chance against these super prepared coached top players without equal amounts of support.
So -> Gogo Stephano+personal coach in GSL 2012

Naniwa shouldnt get a seed, he can earn after what he pulled in Blizzard Cup! Stephano shouldnt get a seed either!

Huk and Polt i can agree with giving them a seed they are at same skill lvl if not better and they are well mannered

Polt simply has the best cards in his hand and he's shown the most wins so far this year. So it would only be fair to give Polt a code S spot.

The other i would have liked to see to Stephano but like the writer said the'd have to bribe him to go there.

Naniwa seems to me the best second option, i honestly think he's got more talent then Huk and should provide for better games.

Huk after that for his MLG arena run.

I don't see them inviting anyone else then these players. I pray it's not Idra for he would take a slot for only the cash Gom plans to make, and be out in no time.
