He seems to be the first caster to ever have a grasp of basic mathematics and also being motivated enough to bring it to use ^.^ He's wrong about this stuff about 50% of the time though.. for example he just claimed Trap was out if he loses his next game which I do not think is the case. It's understandable though, kind of hard to do this calculation on live TV! | ||

It's understandable though, kind of hard to do this calculation on live TV! 0-3 is 100% out, best you could do is 2-3 which is never gonna be enough to advance in a top2 advance format lol also give khaldor more credit, I've never actually seen his calculations be wrong (sometimes hard to follow, never wrong) | ||

At the same time, they've almost completely run out of useful foreigners to give Code S seeds to. Foreign seeds don't always HAVE to be coming off a good tournament performance, but right now their options are pretty much Stephano (if he accepts and stays in KR), SaSe, or re-invite a prior seed like NaNiwa. Besides Stephano, none of those options are really first or even second choice for GomTV. That's why Nestea fits in so nicely. Nestea is an icon of Code S, a player who has a fucking award named after him, and is a huge fan favorite. For the three time champ who has been in more Code S seasons than anyone, there would be little to no backlash about seeding him right back into Code S. 90% of viewers would agree that he deserves more it compared to a non-stephano foreigner or yet another KeSPA pick. | ||

It's understandable though, kind of hard to do this calculation on live TV! Im correct about 95% of the time. And if trap loses now he IS out. Sometimes I miss a weird tie bracker but thats it | ||

Nah. The "Polt seed" sucks. You shouldn't get back into Code S straight after getting knocked out. | ||

Tie for second. Of course, this can't happen in THIS case, but still. | ||

It's understandable though, kind of hard to do this calculation on live TV! If Trap loses the next game he has a score of 0-3. I think he could advance through some weird tie-breaker but other then that it looks bad for him. Well, let's wait for more results before making predicitions | ||
