As we all know Rain forfeited his spot for code s, therefore a wildcard tournament with the players that didnt advance to the round of 8 was held to see who would take his spot in the up and down matches.
The participating players were:
CheckPrime.WE (Z)
FXOSheth (Z) *FXOSheth decided to forfeit his spot for personal reasons
oGsLuvsic (Z)
MVPTails (P)
Liquid'Jinro (T)
SlayerS_Yugioh (Z)
SlayerS_Ryung (T)
IMYoda (T)
I dont really understand why sheth decided not to participate, wasnt the whole point of him being in code a in the first place was to get to the up and down matches? I dunno why he wouldnt give it another go seems kind of silly. It states personal reasons, but what would have happened if he beat puzzle? Would he have forfeited his spot in the up and down matches for personal reasons I doubt it, the whole thing seems kind of silly.
In better news Slayers Ryung advances to get his second shot at code s, I really think Ryung is a capable player and could very easily be code s material.

To put it simply, I had planned on staying in Korea for 1 month. This was for the GSTL the team league that FXO is in. I found out that while there I could play in code A, and I decided to accept that as I thought it would be a great experience. It was.
However I have other commitments that I have to deal with back home. I never planned to stay longer then 1 month in Korea. I will very likely go back to Korea in the future as I'm having a great time here. Still I'd only planned on staying here a month and if I do come back I'd like to be a little better prepared. (I'm still paying rent back in the states for instance)
Hopefully you can understand why I won't be staying in Korea however I'll definetly come back and continue to play SC2 in the states and outside of the states whenever I can. (Dreamhack?!) Hope that clears it up. =)
Edit: And what Plexa is saying is right as for the Wildcard matches.

It's already over, jinro lost first round

I assumed, based on earlier posts by BOSS, that Sheth was probably homesick and wouldn't be staying in Korea much longer. This seems consistent with that, but could be coincidence.
edit: this is an assumption of mine, nothing more -_-
|
ahh shitty, the jinro slump continues  well at least Ryung can have a gunning shot at code s!
|
maybe he was travelling with FXO or something, im sure his schedule is already well packed, being a white person in Korea, he might have been doing filming as an extra in a movie.
|
Homesick already? Hes barely been there more than 2 weeks (he showed up later than the rest of his team i think hes only really been there for a week and a half)
Has he never been on a vacation before? I personally wouldnt consider that a valid excuse.
I just find it strange considering had he beat puzzle he would have been in the up and down matches anyways, and i dont understand why he would accept a code a spot without the goal of trying to make it to the up and down matches and compete in GSL august. Especially because GSL is in back to back months for july and august so he wouldnt even have to be waiting around in korea for it to start it starts very shortly after the code s finals.

Why does he need an excuse? It is his choice and this is the decision he has come to. Regardless of the reason you should accept his choice rather than saying his excuse isn't valid.
What you said in my opinion is an utterly disrespectful towards Sheth. Different people feel homesick for different reasons so accept that not everyone is like you and if he feels homesick then accept that.
|
as stated, sheths reasons for withdrawing are personal, why do you guys have to dig and try to find out what it is. PERSONAL.

Wow you just shut him down mang = /

Oh wow, pretty glad Ryung pulled it out. I would have been happy with Sheth or Jinro as well.
Ryung really deserves the shot, he's a great player.
|
Isn't Sheth having home sickness and leaving Korea soon?
|
Jinro lives in the same progaming house with players such as TOP, Supernova, Zenio, and MC, yet these are results that he's posting? I want to be a fan, but c'mon. I don't want to believe that he was only successful because he figured out macro Terran before everyone else did.

Sheth, because he made Ro16 has a spot for Code A next season (GSL August), has decided not to say for GSL August, per what Josh (FXOBoSs) said. Since he won't be staying for GSL August, there's no reason for him to play for a chance to go to Up & Down and try for Code S. So, that makes sense.
His reasons for not staying are his own, but not everyone is made for uprooting their life and moving to a foreign country suddenly. So I'm guessing that he'll just be going home from MLG Anaheim (which is a week after the last GSTL round-robin match for FXOpen).

Ghostfoot, I would have done that. I wanted to play in it and just have the experience. GSL wanted me to as well. However I wasn't given the time so I couldn't play in it. All good though! Go Jinro! : )
