With gsl finals wrapping up this week we'll know who they settle on soon enough right? LIke 7-10 days at most?

I think NaNi and Huk deserve a chance for sure, stephano would of course be welcome and polt/violet/lots of really awesome koreans do as well. We can justify anyone really. For pure drive though, someone who came to korea teamless and proved his grounds on the korean ladder to get noticed, SaSe comes to mind first. He's prolly more off/on than huk and nani and hasn't won anything major outside of a few online tournaments but he's super manner and wildly entertaining. Oh and if huk is top three control then sase is a solid top 2 control, kinda ridiculous.

Basically i'd like to see two protosses and a zerg; sase, nani and stephano but if the latter doesn't come around then sase should be awarded it imho.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again. I hate seeds for the GSL. Its so degrading to the name of code s and code a to have someone just injected in there, when theres far more hard working and better koreans just trying to get into the GSL. Screw the seeds, just let the foreigners work for it, just like everyone else.


This would only lead to not having any foreigners in GSL ever. Why would the best foreigners fight their way through Code B and Code A to get into Code S, when there are foreign tournements that pay better then Code S itself. Getting into Code S through code B is for up and comming koreans and former korean greats who have to fight their way back. Not having dedicated spots for outsiders into tournements will only lead to segregation between the different scenes, and that would be the beginning to the end of SC2 as an e-sport.

We need a somewhat competetive foreign scene for SC2 to survive and blossom as an e-sport, and the best way to secure that is by giving the best foreigners a chance directly in the premium korean tournement...

Actually there are 6 Places in total. The 2 Seeds for Up and Downs are for foreigners. Not clear about the code A seeds.

I'm guessing:

Code S - Polt and Violet
Up/Down - Huk and Stephano
Code A - Naniwa and DeMuslim

Should anyone decline, they will go upper in rankings. Next up would be Puma (if he can get code A), Ret, Dimaga.

Polt and Puma, all others are not deserving Code S.

If they are looking at performance in foreign events and not only placements I'd argue Naniwa should have the seed over Huk. At least looking solely at MLG Winter Arena. Both of them got hit out by the same 2 players (the finalists). But Naniwa in my opinion beat more impressing opponents.

Edit: Although of course one could argue that it was not Huk's choice to not meet as potent opponents as Naniwa until he ultimately was hit out by the 2 most potent players in the tournament.

Naniwa definitely for a code S spot since I think he was robbed from it after the "probe rush" incident and also showing amazing play against 2 of the best zergs in the world(beating Nestea and Leenock). Huk also deserves one based on his placement at the winter arena. Grubby and Ret for a code A spot and Stephano and Violet for up and down matches. Also these picks because of the race distribution in GSL is still quite Terran favored otherwise I'd give Demuslim a code A spot aswell instead of maybe Grubby or Ret.

The only foreigners I could actually see having a chance in code S are Stepano and Naniwa. All the other just don't cut it anymore.

To tell you the truth, I thnk that HuK and Stephano will be given seeds. After all, HuK got 3rd at MLG Winter Arena and Stephano got 2nd at Assembly Winter.

But in terms of people I hope would get them?

Dignitas.BlinG - To put it simply, this guy took down TSL.Polt 2 - 0 in a PvT. Polt simply doesn't lose in TvP yet he got completely raped by stormtoss. I think he should get the seed for that alone. I think that if a British player gets into the GSL, it should be him, not Demuslim.

Quantic.NaNiwa - This guy made a very impressive run through the Losers Bracket, defeating NesTea and Leenock before falling to KongRaeGu. Also, I think it should be an apology for how they fucked up their League Exchange deal a few months ago.

EG.PuMa - To me, PuMa is more gimmicky than amazing, and his gimmicks lie into his decent execution of the 111 build. Despite this, I think he can make a decent splash if EG send him to the SlayerS house to train. He'll have GanZi, Ryung, MMA and the Emperor coaching him.

Polt has just fallen out of Code A, but he lost to Creator who is one of the most promising players. His run definitely impressed me more than Huk's, who faced fairly "easy" opponents in all his rounds but one; based on results alone, I don't think it would be reasonable to seed HuK back to code S. Naniwa seems to be good, but it would be a bit silly to seed back in a player who was kicked out just a few weeks ago.
That said, I would never give Code S seeds; just Up&Down ones.

IMO, they should abolish Code S 'sponsor' seeds and and seed #1 and #2 of previous GSL directly into Ro16. I think #1 and #2 of previous GSL have earned the right to have a cushion against an unlucky exit right out of GSL (though it is unlikely with them being #1 and #2) more than Code B players getting a free ticket to Code S. But then again, I think is would be unlikely to be the popular opinion.

Leenock has said that Creator is basically a Protoss version of himself, so that's quite the statement.
