That said, each and everyone of those players are extremely accomplished. Killer nearly broke into the round of 4 just last season, and has had the most cumulative success in the last 2 seasons of GSL code S amongst any protoss. Bomber's worst matchup might be ZvT but he's still a powerhouse. Gumiho and Ryung and world class players in ZvT, even if Ryung had a bad series vs. Sheth, whose no slouch himself. Tassadar dispatched Select like the dude was a ladder player, and went through almost all of Code A undefeated just 2 seasons ago. | ||

I remembered him getting brutally beat down by CoCa in that season in the Ro16. The only reason he's noted as a solid Protoss was because he so happened was the only Protoss in the Ro16 during the sad zealot season and that one good GSTL performance he had. Other than that he's been a massive letdown. And given that he's now teamless I don't think he'll be able to improve much more. His only saving grace is that he has to play PvTs which is his best match-up, in a time when the metagame seems slightly Protoss favored. | ||

He has decided against participating in the coming GSL season as a statement of his sincere regret and in the hopes that he may have a future opportunity to compete in GSL against the world’s best. | ||

Right now, all U&D players come from code A. Of course, some of these are Code S players that didn't get to the Ro8 and failed to win the Ro24 in code A. Regardless, the current U&D format has 28 players coming in from Code A (losers of Ro32 (16) and losers of Ro24 (12)) and 2 external "invites" to make 30 total. | ||

BTW the second open slot is obvious because of Coca. | ||

Morrow hasn't decided his race? I feel most of the ones that make it to code S will be the SlayerS | ||

Yes, but SirScoots said that Idra's Code S spot was confirmed a week ago, Gom just didn't announce it until after the trouble with Naniwa. So most likely the Code S invites were going to be Nani and Idra, and Sen got Nani's spot. | ||
