but i'd put my money on them getting their asses kicked hard. an mc-idra match would be hilarious, or an idra-forgg. and to the guys who think idra and sen "qualified" of some sort: no they didn't. gomtv wanted to give some foreigners code s spot but based on their subjective opinion, not any kind of qualifying system- ofc they wanted to give the spots to good players, but they don't deserve the spot more than like some dozen other players from na/eu. they wanted to give spots to naniwa and stephano and jinro, sen and idra were secondary choices. they just picked 2 good foreigners that they liked, not the 2 most deserving. to naniwa they wanted to give it based on like 6 games played that could be called succesful in the past half a year, with games like his shady cannon rush on metalopolis... and they thought naniwa is more deserving than idra. so quit saying he is deserving, no he isn't he got lucky and most likely will get manhandled hilariously. | ||

Hmm, curious why Idra is rated higher than Sen. Feels like its just because Idra's got a much bigger reputation. Sen's up in total prize money, tourneys and is 5-4 vs. Idra. (I'm a biased Taiwanese fanboy btdubs) Liking the race breakdown this GSL too. Well, more that the others. Terran is less than half! xD | ||

Maybe he meant he had a long run (RO8). But yeah, only was in 1 season of Code S and did decently in the open seasons. | ||

I don't think I've seen the guy lose a game yet from memory and he was the other one who really stood out for me. FWIW I agree that tier 4 would probably beat tier 3 in a match. I have to second this. In a time where Protoss is struggling against Zerg, I remember watching a game which Brown crushed LosirA in a PvZ, which is pretty insane. Haven't watch enough games of his in other match-ups though. | ||

What should they seed people based on, then? It's the only consistent way they can do that is fair and all, but it doesn't account for abilities of people who haven't played in GSL Code A/S. That said, it's only a bit of an issue because SC2 is a very new game and many breakthrough players come out while previous top performers slump and perform poorly. Again, it's not a big deal and they will prove themselves over time, and we get to see groups of death where the current best players face off the BW/future best players. Again, time is the great equalizer. Plus I did say it would be unfair in any other way, the GSL system isn't a perfect reflection of players' skills but what in the world is perfect anything of anything anyway? That said the discretionary Code S seeds are not exactly in line with fair (performance in foreign tournaments and Q1 2011 GSL are not really comparable to recent GSL performances) but it means we get to watch more foreigners (get stomped, most likely). | ||

I especially hope we don't see him leave a game too soon that decides whether or not he stays Code S, advances etc. It seems he's really gotten a hold on his mental deal lately, and if he can get over his mentality totally (see IdrA vs NesTea and then IdrA vs Leenock) I'd expect to see him preform extremely well. | ||

So far they (+ huk and jinro) are the only foreigners to have shown anything in korea. Also it may have been just 1 or 2 seasons of code S, but he did well enough in the open tournaments to get into code S in the first place, which still counts as doing quite well in korea. | ||
