So odds on GOM giving Huk a Code S seed next season for no reason?
I'm actually going to go out on a limb and say that Gom will NOT give him a new seed if he doesn't earn it; however if Huk performs well in foreign tournaments between now and Season 3 I don't see why they wouldn't at least offer it to him.
but if he continues to put up the results he's put up so far in 2012 I think GOM will offer the seed to someone else first.

I don't know what's going on to HuK. He does good in MLG's and stuff, but he just can't seem to get in a groove for GSL's.
I'm happy about aLive winn though(pretty expected).
The Artosis/Khaldor duo was GREAT. I would love to see more.

I was only counting this year but overall I think the foreigners who made it past 1st round have been loner, sheth, sjow, select, huk and sen.

yeah HuK, Naniwa totally didn't deserve Code S and you totally did... not! Better luck in LoL! Did Huk actually say that? On his twitter account to Naniwa: @QuanticNaNi shouldnt talk so much shit over twitter about my play especially when u emo so hard when i criticize ur unworthy code s seed Edit: bleh, soemone beat me to it I can't read that as anything but jokey True  I don't think Huk actually said that seriously. But he did say it sooo. Naniwa also just responded with a " "
Well at least Naniwa was really humble about it, the dude basically banned himself from GSL for 2 months then says he feels it's unfair to others he got the seed but will do his best to prove himself worthy.

Has Thorzain ever played in Code A?

He has, but he hasn't made it past a round yet as far as I know.

Yeah, lost 2 - 0 if I recall. But didn't have any sleep/prep time, played the day after he arrived I believe!

E: Seems not, must have been GSTL then

No, he was the only foreigner of that day that managed to NOT go down 0-2.
Of that i'm sure.
Whether he's ever managed to make it past a round of Code A is what I'm not sure of.

I think format has a bit to do with it. GSL is a tournament that involves incredibly meticulous preparation and each match you have to know and prepare for your opponent. It could just be that Huk doesn't prepare as well as some of the Koreans.

honestly, I'm just glad Gom isn't like KESPA... if this tournament was being run by KESPA and they let foreigners play in qualifiers they still would never in a hundred years (at least I believe them won't) seed a foreigner into their group play.

Seems like Hack practiced with NaNiwa before this matchup:
Naniwa has such a good relationship with ST team.. and they are really helping him improve as well as supporting him (ST players all seem to say nice things about Naniwa) I'm not surprised he helped Hack practice to beat Huk, I think his long term plans are to stay in Korea and you kind of leave the "foreigner vs korean" thing behind if you are staying there indefinitely.
Yes, I agree. My intention was not to add some drama, just pointing out interesting facts. + This practice will also help NaNiwa because he will potentionally have to play against SuperNova in GSL tomorrow.

Not really possible to dislike any Artosis combo. Artosis is by far the best caster out there and he constantly shows it by pairing well with EVERYONE. And yes there are also some phenomenal pro player-casters but they still cannot make everything work as well as Artosis seems to be able to. Though I do love the Incontrol and Idra combo a ton. Actually, lately on Reddit and less so here people have been complaining about Tasteless quite a bit.
Keyword being reddit. And I saw the submission in question on reddit and it was completely unsubstantiated as Tasteless is casting quite well at the moment.

Gotta say, enjoying Khaldor/Artosis more then Tastosis. Step up yo' game, Nick!
Also....HuK, srsly bro? Doesn't HuK and Idra train with SlayerS, how are they even losing to Terrans at this point? O_o
Hurts to say it but I wholeheartedly agree.

Kespa did not need foreign money to survive, GOM does which is why they will give seeds into the GSL. It makes complete sense to seed foreigners unfairly to bring in exstra cash

I highly doubt that since he was part of GSL for so long. I just think his practice partners are lacking compared to who Hack practiced with.. Squirtle (80% winrate vs him? wtf) Parting (god of PvT), Ace (who just 2-0 today) and Naniwa (who 2-0 his code S group).... I mean, if I was a terran player who got to practice with these guys everyday, I would be in heaven!
