So yes I would say he is indeed a Code S player. You can be in Code S, and not win it. You think, and no offense to the players about to be listed, players like Rain, Anypro, Lyn have a good chance at actually winning Code S? They are still Code S players, just doesn't mean they will win it all, even though their intent is to win it. And even they have a small chance since SC2 is still so volatile and so dependent on good scouting. But that's another topic. "Almost" like the rest of the people coming up, he did not have to pass through the qualification to code A. Well, whatever he played pretty good I think and has the luck with him (you always need luck, SC2 is not stable enough for the better player to win without a big margin of error). I'm still a bit worried for his playstyle, I'm not sure he fit well with the current protoss wave (turtle). He is a bit agressiv and maybe take too many risks. But please, I don't want to see any cocky ceremony in code S, HuK need to manner up a bit, that's so awkward and it does not fit with his status. | ||

Everytime a foreigner loses it's because he "got a bad draw". What do you expect? To make it to the round of 8 by beating baddies? You're eventually gonna run into good players no matter what. In the first rounds HuK admitted that he was quite nervous. Then he lost to LosirA. And you shouldn't underestimate code A players. MVP lost to Squirtle in GSTL, Squirtle is not even Code A now. It`s too early to judge about Huk just from a few games. He is consistent in the ladder, if he gets more comfortable on stage, I think, he will stay in Code S. | ||

Leenock deserves Code S just as much as Inca or Huk User was temp banned for this post. They DO "do something" about it. If you get to the finals you get to choose your opponents. I mean, hey, it sucks and all that Leenock got the most difficult group, but SOMEONE had to get it. Are you going to say the exact same thing when Sangho has to go up against Zenio and Boxer? Or Alicia against MVP and Genius? Do you think that Leenock could beat MVP and Genius if him and Alicia were switched? After all, he lost of Genius in the previous season. Remember, Leenock is in this position in the first place because he lost against Genius and Rainbow in the group match last season, and then lost to both Byun and LiveForever in the up&down. This season he lost to Losira or he'd have been able to choose his opponents (and we assume he wouldn't have chosen Nestea and MKP because, uh, he's not crazy). I guess my point is that at this point an argument can be made for more than the 32 players allowed in Code S. Not everyone is going to be able to make it in and in some cases it can be as a result of bad luck. However, every season is going to see more incredibly strong Code A players (perhaps Bomber next season?) pushing out some of the questionable Code S players. Very soon every up/down group is going to look rather stacked. | ||

Very soon every up/down group is going to look rather stacked. NesTea and MarineKing are easily on another level from Zenio and Boxer. I would go as far as to say anyone from Group B this time around could have rolled anyone from Group A, although HuK might have given Leenock a run for his money. I agree that every up/down group will look more stacked in future seasons. This one was somewhat odd with previous finalists being in up and downs, along with people who actually should have been there. | ||

While this is true, I seem to recall that Huk was within a single game of qualifying for Code A in the previous GSL season, after having gone through the same brutal process as everyone else. So it's not like he just came out of nowhere, got a lucky draw and now he's in Code S. He's been practicing and working really hard, and should be proud of his achievement. | ||

But please, I don't want to see any cocky ceremony in code S, HuK need to manner up a bit, that's so awkward and it does not fit with his status. None of his ceremonies were bad mannered at all. They were funny and they had meanings but nothing to do with the people he was competing with. At the end of the day, it just contributes to the drama/interest of e-sports. Seriously, lighten up. | ||

This one was somewhat odd with previous finalists being in up and downs, along with people who actually should have been there. Well, yes, this is true. Of course, Inca beat MKP in their group matches and probably could have taken Leenock as well. Nestea can probably roll anyone in the Up/down matches (except MVP), but it's crazy that he's even here in the first place. So really, anyone from Group B can beat anyone from Group A, except Inca who beat MKP and HuK who could beat Leenock. In other words, Nestea is very strong, Choya isn't as strong, and everyone else fits around the middle there. I'm a fan of Leenock and I feel bad for him getting the group he did, but he could have had just as much trouble in other groups (like group E). | ||
