His mlg win did not give him any seed, he just went there for the pleasure, and eventually to steal some white dudes money ! He dropped from code S once but requalified through code A + up&down. | ||

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. 3rd at MLG doesn't mean much when he lost to the exact same people Naniwa did. | ||

Code S shouldn't be something that players with the best momentums/ streaks should be able to achieve. You need to be a consistent top player to be part of the group that calls itself the world's best sc2 players. | ||

Interesting, the 2nd from Assembly gets the seed while the first from Assembly goes away empty-handed? What a strange world you live in... P.S.: anybody remember the raffle from Take, where the first prize was a Döner and the second a HD Plasma TV? | ||

Why would you be bothered by TWO invite spots in code S? Everyone was ok when a seed was given according to result from A SINGLE tournament ( MLG), but now they consider ALL TOURNAMENTS instead of just one and people say it's unfair, WTF did I miss in that thought process??!! O_o | ||

I'm personally not much for NaNiwa, but he had way tougher opponents than HuK, and I'm pretty sure that he also put up a better fight against MKP & DRG despite them 2-0'ing him. There were a lot of ppl in the tournament who could've been put in HuK's bracket and gotten to 3rd place. | ||

There are even some which are half invites and half qualifiers, how much more unfair does that sound? Why would you be bothered by TWO invite spots in code S?

O_o GSL is an actual competition, you know, it's a proper starcraft tournament. all those other tournaments are just fancy 3-day fun fairs, in which the competition is a farce, and everyone's in it for the money. | ||

He's not the guy to half-ass stuff. He does it if he does it, otherwise he doesn't do it. With Stephano there's no try. But Code S takes serious time investment, and Stephano is still planning on leaving the scene relatively soon. So it's not worth it for him. If he goes, he would have to spend some months in Korea flowing between Code S and Code A, before he's even capable of reaping any serious rewards. This is better suited for Huk and Naniwa who are topmost driven by the honor they get, and only second-most driven by the rewards they get. Stephano is simply not in the same position with his life and attitude towards the scene. It's unfortunate, because one can bet he has what it takes to make it, but it just won't happen in this life. Anyway, we are all theorizing GOM's choice here, but I'm still not entirely sure if they even allow Koreans for these 2 seeds or not; or are at least foreigners given some priority - if say some foreigner and Korean perform at about the same level. I guess we'll see with the next couple of season's picks how it works exactly. I'd love Mr. Chae to clarify a little bit though. If it's foreigners-only, I'd definitely add Dimaga to the list of recommended invites based on recent international performances, as well as Ret. Yea, pretty much sums up what I have to say. Stephano would be my top choice for zerg foreigners. Can't blame the guy for wanting a stable career. Being an SC2 pro is anything but that. Even if you think you could top the charts, there is still the problem of, 'how long is this going to last'. How long is SC2 going to be around? The logical choice is to choose something with a bit more backing. I was thinking the same thing. A lot of people are mentioning Koreans playing on foreign teams as foreigners. | ||
