Sorry for the stupid question but what is a Royal road? Winning a tournament first time you participate = "walking the royal road." OK, thanks. That makes sense. GSL Royal road is probably quite difficult then, even if you would get direct seed into code S. Pretty impressive stuff by Life. I hope Stephano will be the next one. 
Well, yes, it's difficult, but seeding or qualifying into code S doesn't matter, because we count from that point on. Life is a royal roader because he won the code S at his first attempt in code S. He has failed to qualify for code S before, but that is (generally considered) irrelevant.

Damnit Flash.
Hopefully he rips it up at MLG

Too bad, was rooting for Flash. He showed a great game against Seed, and excellent decision making to stay ahead versus Sirius, but he seemed weak against drops in both TvTs. I'm sure he'll improve on those weaknesses though!
|
The Flash vs Ryung game was fun to watch and I feel that Ryung deserved his code S spot. I hope Flash continues to improve and makes it into code S next season.

Noooo!!! tt_tt Supernova dosn't get the nested award.

What the fuck? Flash 2-0 when I went to sleep  ((((((((((
It's possible he's getting older... competitive SC seems to favor the young. He was child labor terran at one time after all.

But you can see why Flash struggles with TvT...
I mean for TvZ, he has the KT Zergs, in TvP he has Stats...
in TvT..he has freakin Mind and Barracks... well Bisu had Rain to train PvP and now it's more like Rain has Bisu. You never know what's there, let us hope for Barracks to dominate upcoming proleague!
I highly respect your valour having such strong belief in barracks, but the likelihood of him dominating is as the same as jaehoon becoming t8's ace. Too bad mma wont join kespa teams, he'd be a nice sacrafice to get his tvts rolling

It would be far more impressive if he (or anyone else for that matter) could win it "the hard way" instead of getting any seeds at all.
Same reason polt got one.
BEnefit of flash in code s:
- more gsl tickets
- more attraction (bw fanbase)
- more fan girls
- more 5 star games (i dont know about you but his games are damn entertaining)
- more pocari

Uhhh, reasons Polt got one:
- had just won a major tournament
- was not in GSL at all (Code A or S)
Reasons Flash won't get one:
- can't be based on his results earnestly
- is already in Code A
I mean, I'm sure Gom are as annoyed as everyone else that Flash didn't make it for the reasons you've said. But it sort of just goes against all their 'rules' about rewarding currently successful players who aren't in the league already.

He's only 20. Even in this group, everyone's older than him except for Sirius, who's the same age.

What haters? You really are blinded by fanboism. It is just damn funny that this article anticipations never came to fruition.
Really, BW elitism is slapped hard since this article. And it feels so good.

heh I don't actually think Ryung is going to fall out, he's really good. If Hero and Taeja can stay in while being on a foreign team he can too.

Funny how you start off denying that there are haters then go on to show you are one. Kespa is dominating pretty hard considering it's still early days, Flash losing two bo1's doesn't mean much.

LOL.
Yes, you are right Polt wasn't in the GSL at all because in Season 1, HE DROPPED IN CODE A to drop to CODE B.
And then he was suddenly seeded as Code S because of his results.
Can't be based on his results earnestly?
Have you watched his games? The man is a beast and it takes near perfect games just to take him out (or apparently TvTs..). He's had decent results in MvP Proleague and produced amazing playoffs series against the top kespa zergs (I would say Top 5 is Soulkey, Soo, Effort, Roro and Jaedong in no particular order), had a 3-0 sweep in his OSL group to barely lose to Last 3-2 (hate ****ing last), and barely missed the Code A cut by losing to an EPIC TvT vs Ryung.
There's absolutely no rule that suggests a Code A player cannot be a Seeded player into the Code S and I'm wiling to bet that if Flash gets a decent result in this MLG (or if he flat out wins it), he'll be a lock for the seed.
The fans, foreigners and koreans alike, want this man to be in Code S. It's good from a business point of view, good for the casters who want to cast his games, and the fans who want to watch the man play.
I'm sure GSL will make the right decision.

I'm just gonna say that I'm pretty sure Flash won't be seeded.

I highly doubt that Flash will be seeded, but no worries. Just more time for him to prepare for domination. -_-;
