Polt got a Code S seed.
Pretty sure Violet will too.

I want to see Stephano in Code S.
Part from that CMON POOOLT!

If it is anybody, i think Violet or Stephano deserves the Code S seed. Problem is both of them don't have the intention to stay in Korea for a long period of time.

Yeah..no
He remains one of the most consistent players in the gsl ever since he rolled the 2nd open season. Got 3rd in two major foreign tournaments recently, won the Korean MLG qualifier for the Winter Arena (the last three being especially noteworthy since everyone thought he was only good with prep time...) and can still take on the best of each race.
He could definitely still win a gsl title if not dominate the season.

to be fair the korean MLG qual was a while ago (winter qual) and he got knocked out of the spring qual pretty quickly

Yeah, though Nestea is probably no longer the number one zerg in place of DRG, he's probably a tie for number 2 with Leenock. Ahhh, if Leenock had Nestea's ZvP or Nestea had Leenock's ZvT they'd be unstoppable.
Like DRG should be, except he won a championship. Winning a championship means you don't perform the next season. Unless you're MVP in which case you just become the runner up the next season.

So lucky he is the only player ever to win a GSL without dropping a single map? So lucky he's also the only player to be in Code S every single season? I'm not even a Nestea fan, but this is a ridiculous statement.

Question is does Violet WANT to get into code S? Like Stephano, he may just not be interested in Korea.

hopefully it doesn't affect their game too much! should be good :D

There's so many good players that about 15-20 players are capable of winning if they hit a hot streak.
So because of that I voted for the guy I want to win most -- Nestea.
Violet and Stephano should get the seeds.

haha tier 3 so many terrans. good thing mkp has solid tvt

By the way, the different-colored guys in T2 and T3 are those who could slide down a tier if the U&D guys with more points than them make it to Code S tonight. Curious and Ganzi seem to have the most to gain from an upset result.

Yep. It would be 75% chance that his Code S run would start off against a Terran!

Well, few people expected MVP to win this season quite frankly. Anything could happen honestly.
