You want to see her tears that bad?
If Scarlett somehow manages a Code S seed, it would have definitely been a crazy year for her, going from NA unknown to Code S player within 12 months.
There is a pretty big difference between GSL and MLG events in terms of difficulty, I think she would be annihilated just like every single foreigner so far
No foreigner did win GSL so far, but many didnt get annihilated, especially Jinro, Idra, Huk, Naniwa and Stephano.
Aren't those all the foreigners that have been in GSL? And can we please use recent results for a change, Jinro, Idra, Naniwa haven't been in GSL for months. HuK's ro8 days are long past.
If someone claims "annihilated just like every single foreigner so far" we can`t only use recent results, no. Please follow the discussion.
And they have been many more foreigners in GSL: Ret, Sase, Mana, Grubby, Haypro, Thorzain, ...
LOL thank god they don't do seeds anymore. I suppose Stephano is the only one recently who actually deserved his seed, all the other foreigners dropped, with good reason.

You can say that HotS will be a new game, but it's not as if WoL is what's holding him back. His problem is psychological, he's not going to magically regain his confidence with the new expansion.
He's got one thing though, he does have a certain talent at the game, when he's on form at least. Bad day at the office, no problems saying so from me.
Hey I like the HerO vibe, his playstyle and his rather emotional state, makes his wins a bit more enjoyable to those who wish him well

it's a good thing that koreans can't read what foreigners have to say.
From what I hear the Korean fans are even harsher.

I always thought the Korean fans were worse with the criticism.
But yeah, It's just some bo1's in a game that no one is going to be playing in a week. I wouldn't read too much into it guys.

This isn't a few games, this is a huge streak not only for the EG-TL in the proleague but also for individual play.

Remember Torch and Artosis back in the open seasons?
Still remember Torch going for BCs in one game against another Terran (was it Virus?). Hilarious. The game was on Metalopolis iirc.

Lol, every thread, it's a joke.
PL threads were the worst though. Those like me were excited to see the Kespa guys, the novelty, as we'd missed it in BW. But no, instead of having cool discussions and getting psyched up about a prestigious tourney, every thread is just bitching about EGTL, their managers, their players with 93% of it based on nothing other than conjecture

All the old VODs are free on GOM's website too, really nice of them.

Way more foreigners have tried the GSL they just always lost in the qualifiers or if they got a seed in the first or second round of Code A and then left Korea. Select, Ret, Haypro, TLO, Mana, Sen, Moonglade, Sheth, Sase, Fenix, Thorzain, sjow. Probably some more especially counting the qualifiers. All of those players got Code A or Code S seeds at some point.
Thank god they don't do seeds anymore...
Yeah, diversity is horrible -.- But what, seriously ?

Actually, the first few threads were all hype. Then the hype died.

Fantasy was on a 8 game losing streak too, he even got benched in PL for a week.
The interview yesterday stated that he requested to be benched. He took the time to get some pressure off of him and recollect his thoughts / improve his game. Looks like it worked nicely for him.

I've been of the belief that since GSL prides itself on being one of the two most prestigious tournaments in the world (with PL being the other), players who get into Code S have to actually earn their spot by going through the brackets.
