Anyways. Watched all of the stream, day 1 and 2. And seeing how hard it is for the koreans, and seeing how many DAMN good players get knocked out, its a DAMN shame that they give free invites to foreigners. They should go through the qualifiers. I feel the same way about MLG by the way. Dont give people free ins. But I feel more so in this case. Koreans that are probably 3 times better than the foreign invites are working their asses off, but some foreign noobs take their spots. I respect what MorroW said. He doesnt want a free foreigner spot, if he is to play in GSL he wants to earn it so he knows he is good enough. If you have looked at the games and brackets you would know qualifiying is as hard or even harder than winning MLG (depends on bracket and korean invites at mlg ofcourse). | ||

Sheth was apparently one of them but it turned out he was invited for different reasons. This season, Fenix, ThorZaIN and NaNiwa are going to be competing in the GSL alongside three other foreigners, SaSe, HuK and Jinro. 2) From MLG Anaheim onwards, the #1 finisher would recieve a Code S seed (This was supposed to be MVP but he's in Code S already so it went to MMA instead), and the #2, #3 and #4 finishers would recieve Code A. DongRaeGu, BoxeR and GanZi got in via this route. BoxeR did indeed get back into Code A but had he won to MMA in MLG Anaheim, he'd be back into Code S. I believe the other foreigner you see (mYm.SaSe) qualified for Code A by beating NaNiwa in a tournament called The Road to Korea in Sweden where 8 Swedish players duked it out for a Code A seed. Of course NaNiwa got his Code A seed from his position in MLG Columbus and the fact that many players who made it that far either declined a Code A seed or already had one. Actually. some of that is wrong. Koreans can't get code A from MLG, only code S both DRG and boxer (not sure about ganzi since i only seen the last part) qualifiers were streamed live today. DRG was against cella and boxer against ultimate, both won 2 -0 | ||

Not giving foreigners free spots is unfair to the foreigners. Remember that it's free for a Korean to try to get in, but a foreigner has to take a flight to Korea, live there for a few days so he isn't jet-lagged, try his hand at the qualifiers, and then fly back if he doesn't make it. That's time-consuming, exhausting, and brutally expensive. And the foreigners who got free ins haven't done so badly; only HayprO and Moonglade took a Ro32 out, while Huk made Code S and Sheth at least made Ro16. And the players who are getting in next season are much better than HayprO and Moonglade ever were... | ||

don't know anything about Sniper, but vz is Sase's worst match up, much luck with that Nani is a better player than Check in my oppinion, he's got good chances, so does Thorzain, Fenix is more likely to be destroyed. Also too bad Boxer got Leenock, Leenock's vT is something else. don't know anything about Maru, but i have a bad feeling about Fruitdealer after seeing his pathetic game vs mkp. pity, i love the guy | ||
