You realize even if you are the best player in the world, you still wouldn't "deserve" a seed. Spots in Code S are meant to be earned through qualification, not because your a foreigner.
Getting to RO8 last season means he has fully earned his place there this season.

I just got home, GJ Naniwa, showing that last GSL results were not a fluke.

Where is this written? GOM makes the rules about how Code S works and they invited Naniwa so he deserves to be there. That he got to the Ro8 last season and is now in the Ro16 again proves that he can compete at this level.

I meant deserve code S as in he can win rounds and stay in it instead of falling out, nothing about deserving the seed.

People disliking players/teams is actually a good thing, just look at other sports. Rivalries, hated/loved teams, it all adds to the overall storyline. I wanted Naniwa out, simply because I want him to have to go through code A and the seeding system annoys me. Being a hater of certain players adds excitement to matches where I have noone I really want to advance, like today.
The problem with haters/fanboys is the portion of them that takes it too far, incl. some of the posts in these threads. There's nothing wrong with rooting against a certain player overall tho.

Long time ago. Still, Stephano's performance vs Koreans, albeit in foreign tournaments, is definitely more solid than Nani's. That being said, they're both carrying the rest of the foreign SC2 hope pretty heavily, although Stephano slightly more if I may so myself. (This coming from a Swedish Toss btw )

Agreed... in one of his MLG interviews (with HotBid maybe?) he stated he was uncomfortable with having to play so soon; he knows he won't be prepared this season, and he said he'd still be jetlagged even. That's really unfortunate.
Surely Naniwa is going to be the foreigner hope again this season, although I'm still rooting for both players

GG NANIWA! Haters gonna hate.

it could have been "nice" but it looked like "enkelt" (easy) to me. Maybe regarding his tech-choice in the last game. He said 1 or 2 sentences more that i couldnt make out but when the replay is out we could make a better guess

I think it's because Wolf, like most casters, got his start doing solo casting online. It's probably fairly comfortable for him to slip back into tbh.
This is also why pairings deserve to be given plenty of time before people start calling them on synergy stuff, most guys aren't used to casting in a team unless they have been doing regular work for big tournaments before.

Stephano won more than Naniwa and its ZvP, c'mon, do you really think he is the best because he got second in the group?
