EPTSo my statements stand. I still think Naniwa could do well in GSL (if he got another try). And Ret was there a year ago.
Oh right, his seed was transformed in to the Blizzard Invitational stuff.

It's unbelievable! I dunno what happened to all these players! 1. Creator is good, plus Protoss is doing well against Terran at the moment and he won the metagame war. 2. TheStC is really fucking good. No shame losing to him when ZvT is Losira's worst match-up. 3. Bomber lost because...he didn't scout. Literally, if he scouts well in the series, he wins easily. 4. Clide just hasn't looked good since that one quarterfinal against MMA where he lost in five games. | ||

Is Sen the only one guaranteed to be in GSL 2012 Season 2 due to surviving round 1 of Code A? On top of that, there will be 2 Code S seeds given out based on foreigner tournament results? | ||

You cant base his proposed success as terran on the fact that he now choses terran against zerg and then has less success... if he had spent all his practice hours as zerg on terran it would have looked alot different.. but then again, we will never know since we cannot ever know =) I just know that he had more success then and alot of the opponents on the foreign scene were the same as now. | ||

The two Code S seeds will go to players with good international results, regardless of race or where they are from.So if SanZenith wins Winter Arena this weekend, he has a case of being the seed. If Puma wins Assembly, he has a big case to make it as well. I think the winners of those two tournaments, if not Code S seeds already, will probably get the seeds. I don't see why anyone else would get them. Maybe Violet for IEM Sao Paolo? Maybe? | ||

The Sen and Idra invites had to be given around a time when there wasn't much in terms of tournaments. In the initial announcement of the seeds it always looked like the plan was to give it to players with recent tournament success | ||

Don't think he died to banshees, but I do think I recall him going marauder/tank expecting the current mech metagame and getting rolled by marine/tank? That whole series still gives me nightmares. 2 games of mind bendingly brilliant beatdowns followed by three games of mind fuckingly frustrating failures. | ||

It is kinda surprising though that there seems to be such a slow progress rate in foreigner performances even though they enjoy the same training environment as Koreans. Right now it just seems to suffice to pressure any foreigner in the first ten minutes and he will crumble. biggest surprise was HuK -- who lived in two different Korean houses, but maybe all that travel all over the place? The EG curse? and also maybe Jinro -- who has been in Korea for a while now yet doesnt seem to be moving up much. | ||

MorroW's games looked like he had a build in mind and refused to adapt to his weakened position. Going for a Mutalisk transition when you have no units, lost many drones, and know an attack is incoming was a terrible idea. He would've been better off massing Roach/Ling/Bling until Maru overextended himself. | ||

Well I can't remember exactly I just remember him going marauder tank and dying because he didn't bother to actually check what Byun was doing. | ||
