Thorzain, Sase, and Nani all struggle (comparitively) vs Z. Sniper is a relative unknown but YuGiOh and Check are solid players even if they're not DRG, I would say you can't consider them to be any worse than Moon who rolled Nani at Dreamhack. | ||

MLG had a handful of Koreans among their player pool numbering in the hundreds. GSL has 5 foreigners out of 32. I suspect this is more Gom trying to help get foreigners into the code S up/downs more than any sort of disrespect. And if I remember correctly, MLG Columbus had like 3 Koreans in pool B and several pools from Anaheim wound up with more than 1 Korean as well. | ||

Jinro and Thorzain, at least, can't meet until the ro8, which means they can both make it to the up and down matches. But yeah, pretty shitty that SaSe and Naniwa can meet in the ro16.  | ||

If they were all matched up with Koreans, they could very well wind up all getting knocked out in the first round which would be even worse than nani and sase having to possibly play each other in the ro16...because let's face it, none of the current foreigner vs Korean match ups right now are heavily favoring the foreigners. Thorzain, Sase, and Nani are all facing solid Korean zergs and vZ is their worst MU. People have to remember, Check is no worse than Moon who rolled Nani not too long ago at Dreamhack and Nani vs idra at MLG didn't exactly inspire confidence considering types of games they played. I agree. Naniwa, Thorzain and Sase can hardly be called favourites vs korean zergs, as vs zerg is by far their weakest matchup. I hope at least one makes it through to the next round. | ||

The open bracket isn't really the right comparison to make. The four Korean invites to MLG Anaheim were put into separate pools. A couple pools ended up with more than one Korean since Rain and Ganzi made it through the open bracket. | ||

A couple pools ended up with more than one Korean since Rain and Ganzi made it through the open bracket. How else would you get all 4 of them to play though? They physically can't be slotted in to the other bracket if they get to Korea hours before they have to play. Or would you prefer Gom completely reschedule the broadcasting and brackets in order to accommodate the 4 of them? Look at it from this perspective...IF they manage to get past the Korean Z, this helps the chances of getting a foreigner into Code S up/downs by quite a bit. Not to mention, MLG recognized that the higher ranked Koreans deserved to be seeded directly into pool play. This is not the same scenario because this is basically foreigners fighting for a chance to be seeded into Code A. *edit, forgot to add a point* | ||

You're under-rating him. Badly. | ||

They're just playing on the same day because Naniwa and Sase can't get to Korea until the 9th. Only one foreigner matchup (Sase and Naniwa) before the the top 8 up/down threshold (If they make it that far). | ||
