DId u miss WCS qualifiers where 7 or so people got seeded from Proleague results(withouit playing a single game), why post it now? WCG is way more fair, there are no auto-seeds.

august 1st, a few more days yet! haha

and yeah, kespa meets gom in RO16 OSL, RO32 WCG and RO32 WCS, it's not like they get a seed to the RO4.

They just have different qualifier brackets to get through. Relax everyone!

Facinating logic here.

I guess everything is fine as long as one can find a worse example of it somewhere else to put it up against. =P

Things are always fascinating when you disregard facts and live in fantasy. WCS did worse job in bringing equality than WCG.

I will take your word for it, you seem to know your stuff about this type of viewing the world. Yes WCS did a worse job than WCG in that area, you said that one time already. Your point is still hilarious.

The reality is, there are no regulations, laws etc. Its only about PR and reputation.

Reputation is product of word of mouth/keyboard, what we were talking about are merely ethics / morality of competition.

Post above i first answered asked "if this is even legal?". Which is funny because everything is legal there depending on what organizers want or dont want. There are no regulations in this industry. Its only a battle of reputation, getting swings of viewers, setting trends on twitter, or getting massive upvotes on reddit. Thats the reality of current esports. No one was against that Soulkey got seconds chance which proved that he can't pass qualis. Naniwa got seeded into Code S after failing Code A but he got into Semis which suddenly makes it justified etc. I tell you again there are is no equality here. More users happy, better show = "ethics" of esports. The better show you present the better person you are.

Of course all of this was merely my observation, which may be true or untrue. Now getting back to this discussion, you want equality and viewing both WCG and WCS and dealing with them in a most fair way. Fine if it was regulated environment when both WCS and WCG could be viewed by internet community as equals, but its not, their view is already dependant on their business skills, PR skills. and this has nothing to do with facts nor with ethics. So what i said before was already pre calculated, that you should first judge the worst behavior and set a "trend" so than you can judge a better ones.

Real sports tournament organizations are used to give free pass to some successful amateurs from time to time.
Thus inviting Naniwa is not that chocking.

However, the WCG organization likes to pretend being the Olympic of e-Sports and I'm pretty sure they've signed a charter which clearly forbids such tribalistic and unjustifiable results-wise preferences.

Unjustifiable preferences? There was a game switch which doesn't ever happen in terms of real sports, the field is already extremely slanted towards the GSL players having years longer practice time and coaching, if anything they should seed players like Flash who won the WCG Starcraft category in 2010. Your usage of vocabulary is just uncalled for, what part of having separate qualifiers for differing players is "unjustifiable", you have different qualifiers for people of different countries and resources, it's a fact that GSL and Kespa players are not in the same league or system. Also trust me a player like Stork is alot more "representative" of esports and would do alot more good for SC2 than alot of people who have potential to qualify from this bracket.
