Its not just that. We don't want either Leenock or Boxer to have to drop out to Code B, but I honestly doubt Boxer is capable of beating leenock.

I honestly think the layout of these brackets are ridiculous for foreigners
When the Koreans come to MLG they are all played in different gorups and don't meet until the championship bracket, where they are able to drop games if they finish top.
However here, Naniwa and Sase face eachother in ro16, Jinro and Thorzain face of ro8 then Fenix plays the winner of those two in ro4. I know if can't be perfect, but surely they could've all been on different corners of the bracket, for the sake of the MLG / GSL trade thing.
IMO its unfair compared to how the Koreans are treated here. Thats just what i think anyway
Put 3/4 of the Koreans in 1 group at MLG, see how they like it....

ugh, why can't boxer and leenock both win

Unfair? You're acting as if Koreans and Foreigners are equal in skill. If Koreans were put in the same MLG group, we'd just have a foreigner or two making it way further than people know he should have. Foreigners in the same brackets in the case of the GSL instead gives foreigners a chance to face each other early on, thus getting farther than they perhaps would have if they were spaced out evenly. You can't ignore the fact that foreigners are the underdogs against Koreans.
Also, as I've said many times before, these foreigners might not even be here if they weren't given a nice path around the Code A qualifiers. When a scene superior in skill makes accommodations for your scene to still be a part of it, it's best to drop your sense of entitlement.

after watching thorzain lose against ret, i feel worried for his first match (t v z).
I know its yugioh, but mlg has shown that code b players are as good or better than na/europes elite :/

Small Blizz EU invitational spoiler below
+ Show Spoiler +
As Ret has shown versus Tarson in the first round, getting one or two more queens beats that build no problem. Though Tarson's execution probably wasn't the best.
Also Leenock has had enough time to check out the MLG VODs so I'm sure he knows Boxer's build by now. I think Leenock will adapt just fine.

MYM_SaSe real name is Kim Hammar, I can imagine the Hammar time jokes.

Come on. You can not compare + Show Spoiler + to the Slayers Terrans. Slayers' execution is so smooth and they know all the timings and followups. Maybe the bfh, marine elevator is starting to get figured out on the Korean ladder but you can't say that based on the Blizz Eu tournament.

If you think about it this way... you can also say that by doing this, they are gaurenteeing foriegners in the up and down matches, though at the cost of another getting eliminated.

The four foreigners invited via MLG are fairly spread out, SaSe and Jinro are separate.

You hit the nail on the head about what makes this build scary. Its not the initial push itself (which is impressive) but the fact that the Slayers terrans know how to smoothly transition out into a number of really strong compositions. I forget which game it was but in one game a zerg went heavy roach and a SCARY marauder push came. Another the Zerg went muta and the Terran went back to standard Tank/Rine with some blue flames mixed in. The fact that the Slayers T understand this push and its reactions better than any zerg does (at the moment) is what makes it so scary.
Also, even if it gets shut down, blue flames are still fucking scary. One of those gets into your mineral lines and you regret it.
