I can't remember when, but Jinro did not want a Code S seed. He wanted to earn his way to Code A & S through the qualifiers. That's probably why he keeps competing in EWM(E-sports Weekly Match). Winners of those EWM tournaments will participate in an offline tournament. Winner of that offline tournament gets a Code A seed. He got to 3rd place in the first weekly. | ||

Stephano, Naniwa and Huk would be much better in Code S. After watching both Assembly and MLG this weekend I feel that the most impressive two players of those tournaments (just based on play) were Stephano and most of all Polt. Holy crap did his tvz not look just terrifying? From what I saw in those two tournaments I think Polt played much MUCH better then MKP and Stephano out played all the zergs at MLG. Honestly I think had Polt and Stephano been at MLG we would have had the same finals as at Assembly. | ||

If this was his first time then I'm okay with that otherwise something about seeding him 4 times really annoys he heck out of me. You know those were MLG seeds that were....earned, and not given, right? | ||

Earning a seed through MLG was pretty much, whoever wanted to go b/c most people didn't want to go. EDIT: Honestly, Naniwa is going to bring a ton of drama either way with people agreeing and disagreeing with the choice. He's something of a trouble case for GOM. Plus... MLG was really a joke as compared to Code A qualifiers and it gave joke matches more often than not. | ||

Funny thing: both NaNiwa and HuK lost only to MKP and DRG. The difference in position is sheer luck. HuK even had a bit easier run in the tournament. Compare Minigun, Socke, Ret and Oz with Grubby, Sheth, Nestea and Leenock. | ||

Naniwa was among the 3 best foreigners at Raleigh, Columbus and Anaheim. (not counting Huk, who was in Code S) He didnt need anyone to pass on a spot. Stop depreciating his achievements. | ||

Sometimes he just gets rolled in the first round. The only consistent (at high lvl at least) is Stephano. | ||

Whoever they choose, it will be a business decision for the GSL, and I think our collective acceptance of business decisions has grew considerably this weekend. It looks like MLG's paid off. Your move, GSL. "has grew"? Should be "has grown". | ||

I would like to see Ret though, I think he got decent chanses. Hope Foreigners get some code A seeds, makes it much funnier to watch. | ||

Polt isn't a foreigner and do not have the burden of going to another country there's no reason for him to get special consideration without winning a promised seed in a MLG. If he wants Code S, he can compete for it without making a huge sacrifice. You don't get it. There is no more agreement between MLG and GOM, because GOM said they would look at all major foreign tournaments, and Assembly is one of them. Chae also explained that these "international" seeds were not the property of foreigners and could go to a korean having performed well in a foreigner tournament. Guess what? Polt looks like the perfect fit to the definition of this seed by Mr. Chae, so you really don't have a point.

Well, everyone knows that Stephano playing SC2 for money not for fame and since he has zero chances to get into GSL top2 I think he will not accept invite for code S even if he will get it. zero chances? It wouldn't be as ez money as in foreign tournaments, but he would have a good chance, he is definitely Code S level, and code S is stacked, anyone can go far. | ||

I agree that these should be Code A spots. Code S should be elite of the elite. Direct Wild Card just introduces a bit of "foreign folklore" and - unfortunately - easy wins for other players which make the whole Code S tournament uneven (I guess everybody would be happy to play against IdrA in the most recent Code S). | ||
