By allowing players, particularly players that have not previously gone through the qualifiers, to skip most of that process not only weakens the prestige of the tournament but also the results of the seeded players. Naniwa has won four games and is in the round of 8, compare that to the players that go through the qualifiers and Code A. They have to play and win a lot more matches and it is these achievements that make winning a GSL so special. Maybe you would feel fine about winning a title that way and maybe Naniwa would too but if he did then dropped off the map in GSL forever do you think anyone, even Naniwa himself, would not think that his win was based upon him being fortunate enough to receive a seed allowing him into Code S? I don't even really like MMA but invalidating his GSL win as well as DRG's just because they couldn't make it out of Code A seems a bit ridiculous. Code S is still the hardest tournament with the best players in the world. | ||

I'm very much aware, all i'm saying he didnt deserve a seed based on popularity and the way he gets hyped is like he won every gsl from then till now. Now a decent showing would be he gets back on code s without a seed and wins it  , or AT LEAST get to the finals. | ||

He not only won his games to advance to top8 but he fucking 2-0'd both of his opponents. I really like that and I'm so glad to see Nani do so well and finally gets to show some of his true potential in the GSL arena as well. Btw, it's really nerve-wrecking when you haven't watched the games to slowly click open those spoiler tag results one by one. Aargh. | ||

I hate these invisible boogey men arguments because im sure yes one person on these forums thinks he can win a GSL code S right now but that in no way represents an opinion worth forming a worldview over. I would say he probably did deserve the seed purely because he was never eliminated from it in first place. I would also say his handful of event wins since then would not qualify him for code S were he not otherwise in it previously. | ||

Good place at MLG is not that hard if player attended MLGs before Koreans MLGs and gather enough points. Then u get high seed, win 2-3 Bo3 and u have good place. His Code S Ro8.. wasn´t it tournament where Jinro made Ro4?  That player in Code B, who can get do Code A nowadays.. Yea but he totally deserved it.. Idra is next bonjwa. | ||

Man what a day, i was actually at the event with my girlfriend, what a time we had... Virus Battle Cruiser's??? HELL YEAH! It is awesome that a foreigner went on to the Bracket stage, and he rollllleedddd at that, I didnt have time to go back through the whole thread but what were the haters saying this time? Genius and Virus having bad days? Easy group (lol)? Hahahaha man this guy has paid his dues over here, he's lost and he's learned AND NOW HE'S WINNING! Love it, well my gf not so much, she's Korean and could not accept that fact that there are 15 other contestants who are KOREAN, the whole way back she was rotted with me "Why don't you hold Naniwa hand" - "Why dont you have sex with Naniwa tonight" - "Why dont you make Naniwa your girlfriend" LOL it was awesome, well not the fact that I wont be getting any tonight but you get the idea | ||
