why are people in this thread hating on Sen and IdrA... they are not directly related to Naniwa's situation at all.
I'm extremely glad Sen got a spot in Code S. I'm sure he will treasure it as the first Taiwanese player in GSL history.

Sen got his spot as a direct consequence of Naniwa having his spot revoked, as told by Artosis during the broadcast earlier today.

If "sponsor seed" applies every season, does it mean Idra will keep his code S spot no matter what ?


No. If he drops out, they'll invite someone new who did well in a foreign tournament.


I just don't think you should get "invited" to Code S. This happened in Code A and I didn't like it then. Only one foreigner out of the many given invitations/MLG invites did anything of worth. Only Huk got to the quarterfinals; everyone else either lost in the first round or destroyed in the round of thirty-two. Now they're giving CODE S spots?! Up-and-Downs was one thing, but now you're directly putting players in the biggest tournament of the world while all the other players have to fight through Code A qualifiers...then Code A...then, if they get past the first round and don't win the next two matches, the Up-and-Downs...and then finally, if they can go through all that, they get Code S.

The Code A invitations to foreigners was supposed to get more foreign blood in Code S. Sadly, only Huk, after what was probably six months of invitations, got to Code S. Everyone else failed. This proves that giving foreigner free slots into Code S is nonsensical. If the foreigners were proving to get through Code A and get into Code S by themselves, that would be one thing, but they haven't.

No one is hating on them. If you bothered to read the thread, everyone is criticizing GOM, and quite rightly so.

So they want to ensnare the foreginers theey just lost buy adding 2 additional ones cause they are popular but dont deserve it? GomTV is playing out all this like a real capitalist cooporation. And they call Naniwa a moeny hunter? Oh the irony

Bullshit decision. Wow. Was finally getting into Starcraft to a point where I considered paying to watch the GSL (And won't, now), but this kind of stuff over a single thrown match is just childish. He threw one match, so what. Oh, wait, it was the community's current favorite scapegoat, guess we'll shit all over him now.

Utter bullshit.

Wrong thread mate.
On the otherhand, the decision to give Idra and Sen the Code S spots is also a bullshit decision. There hasn't been a single justification for other than "they're popular" which is a horrible horrible way to run one of the few (and the best) purely merit based tournaments. It dilutes everything significant about the GSL.

Why would they give it to Idra? It should be quite clear by now that he truly is talentless (playing 12 hrs/day for more than a year, not really improving at all).

All in all, quite a disgusting move by gom. That game was actually more entertaining than some of the other games that day.

This is just a way to make money. GSL want to add popular foreigners to get more viewers outside korea. Its sad that they lower the standard of the GSL by simply giving players that does not deserv a spot a free walk past the code b and code a line.

No disrespect to idra and sen, both good players but it just smells bad when they get into code S this way.

Ironically Idra makes racist remarks on air during a GOM sponsored event, but they give him a Code S spot and call Naniwa's probe rush "offensive to players/audience"

Read the page your post is on. Idra is making racist comments, Idra doesn't deserve it, Idra deserved code A, etc etc.

GSL has become a lot more "mature" and "serious" since the days of Idra calling Koreans butthurt on live television, saying names like Poopfeast420 and KillAllJuice in interviews, etc.

How is saying any of those considered hate? They are just opinions. Its not like we are insulting Idra.
If i say select is code B standard, would you consider that hate? No, that is my opinion and probably opinion of the majority.

Hate and insult would be like calling Naniwa a loser/dick and etc.

i dont want to offend anyone here but giving away code S spots is not a what i was expecting by GOM ... for a korean is so hard to play code S , but to a foreigner they give the spot with ease?

Idra fans im sorry but Idra will be crushed , besides him being as BM as Naniwa he is Code B material now ... Besides , he left korea because he knew he had no chance , now he comes back without deserving and all of a sudden hes code S good ?
It will be worse...

The spots should have been given by playing and not for free...

this Blizzard Cup was supposed to be epic and memorable but we only talk about naniwa..

That's arguing semantics. You know hate is perfectly fine to describe that.

I suppose and i am going to resist bringing in dictionary definitions over here. Not going to comment anymore since this thread is going in a roundabout manner again.

Why would he treasure getting a handout?

I have no idea what Gom thinks they're doing.
I know they want more foreigners but what did Sen do to deserve his spot?
He's been one of the top foreigners but if you ban someone at least hold qualifiers or something.

Good luck Idra and Sen, still have some time to prepare for this sudden change hehe.

And if someone drops out that got his spot over a qualifier that the next person in line gets it. (funny to call mlg and stuff qualifier lol)
