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. | ||

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... | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

That said, I would never give Code S seeds; just Up&Down ones. | ||

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