It's not a matter of if he deserves it, it's a matter of how used he is to GSL. It will be a huge blow to go insta-codeS for him and he is not used to that. I do think that he will be able to maintain himself, but I'd prefer to see him working from down there. | ||

While they punish Naniwa, they give code S to Idra and Sen with the mindset of "hey, we still respect other people from foreign countries, let's give these popular players a chance". It feels like a handout to me. It isn't fair to the great players still stuck in code A/B either. People lost interest in NASL S2 becuse there were no koreans and now GOM give away spots in the most prestigious SC2 tournament to foreigners. Everything seems messed up somehow. | ||

This on the other hand is completely different. Do you actually know why Idra and Sen got seeded to play in Code S? There weren't any qualifiers for those spots, they were hand-picked by GOM to be directly placed into their highest league. No, getting "good foreign tournament results" isn't good enough if they didn't establish beforehand in which tournaments and how good of results you need to get to qualify for Code S. How about Hero, shouldn't he get a seed because of Dreamhack? How about Puma? This isn't about Idra or Sen mind you, it's about getting two players to play in Code S just because GOM feels like it. That completely undermines the competitive aspect of the league. This, completely. I honestly can't understand this move by GOM, it's utterly justified. Why not DeMuslim? He's also in Code A like Idra was through the same method. Why not Puma? Why not Hero? Yongwha? Fruitdealer, he's a fan favourite, why not him? WHY? Please, I actually wish they would put out a statement justifying this move. | ||

still none of those two seeds seem really earned to me, wouldn't be surprised if they get their asses kicked in the 1st round. | ||

He is a foreigner, he is well known and they want him in the GSL because he makes good entertainment. | ||

R1CH_TL Richard Stanway Players should have to earn a spot in Code S via skill, arbitrarily seeding people directly in cheapens it. Smart business move though. | ||

That completely undermines the competitive aspect of the league. I don't agree with the exchange program either or any sort of invite based turnaments. My point was that when SjoW and company went to Code A everyone was saying that it was justified. Now when Idra and Sen (both which are a lot more acomplished than everyone else that went through the same exchange program) the competition is suddenly invalid. Which is quite ridiculous. Yes, they are playing in GSL because GOM feels like it. Just like it is with every single invite based turnament. Would you or anyone for that matter seriously argue that DH's invites undermines the competition? | ||

So now, HuK after so much ahrd work trying to stay in code S is gonna still have to face Up and downs and idra just got there for free? If it was to be given for free they should at least given one to HuK who's the only foreigner that's been truly loyal to GSL tournament all this time. =( | ||
