There're a lot of great korean players who only have GSL as a source of income and their progaming carreers depend on being able to mantain a spot in code S/A . Most of the foreigners who are being seeded are in a pretty stable economic situation and they have the support from their teams to compete in any other tournament. While being stuck in the qualifiers is probably not going to be a big deal for players like Huk or Naniwa,and if they're good enough they are going to qualify eventually, if a korean player with no source of income is stuck for 3 or 4 season it can have a really big impact on his careers and force them to quit progaming. | ||

I don't think they will change it though because there are way too many players in "one" league. He won over Huk, Lucky and forGG who also advanced to Code S, how can you deny that Virus is a good player as well? He is one of the main-stays in Code S only missing one season. Only because you and many others consider him an absuser of the early-Terran he proofs every time that he's able to stay. He stepped up his game, why can't you leave that guy alone. | ||

Don't hate the format because your favorite players didn't get through. This up and down format as well as Code A/S formats are the best GOM has ever had for GSL. | ||

I don't think they will change it though because there are way too many players in "one" league. I don't know if its a joke. Killer and Lucky are probably on relatively the same skill level as Virus and Huk's PvT and PvZ haven't been looking to great as of late :\ As much as I wanted HuK to advance it just wasn't in the cards | ||

Oh and although he has been in Code S, he is not a Code S caliber player, often dropping in the rd of 32. | ||

The best player today won, go cry more. On March 15 2012 23:59 blamekilly wrote: In the sea of Korean Terrans, Virus is a joke. He's a boring, non-creative, middle of the road player..

And yet, after all the LegalMinds and Ensares and Rainbows and etc etc etc have been weeded out, and new players have come in, he still claws his way back into Code S time and time again. Insult him all you want, he deserves his spot, at least for the next season. He may yet drop out, but on this day he proved better than 4 others. I'm not a big fan of his, but what I love best about him is he keeps so many people enraged with his resiliency. | ||

Seriously, foreigner fanboys should learn to stfu and stop bashing on players just because he beats a foreigner with their skills. | ||

I don't really see how its much different then giving a seed to a runner up of a double elim tournament like MLG that has top tier Koreans and foreigners in it. Code A qualifiers are absolutely brutal. 1 wrong match and you are done for 3months, no retry or anything. Combine that with the fact that there are constantly new Korean stars popping up and waiting for a shot in the GSL. Not once since the code A/S split has any foreigner qualified for it. | ||

If Virus managed to beat enough of them he deserves his spot, it's not his fault if he was in a group with almost no really good player so eventually one average player advances into code S | ||

Used to think the same way about Alive 5 months ago and now look at him. Who knowns what Virus will do in Code S maybe could be his break out season. | ||
