Wow, does there always need to be someone like you in each thread trying to start a flame war?

On a side note, I am very happy to see the Chinese sc2 community get more recognized by having players in the GSL (it is a GOBAL sc2 league afterall)
Best of luck to both of them! FXO/iG hwaiting!!

Literally just thinking about how on top of things FXO are when I opened up TL to see this. Great news, I've been wanting to see more Chinese players.

A great move by FXO not only because the Chinese players are great, but because there is a lot of interest in them since they haven't been seen in that many tournaments.
all's fair in love and melodies

It helps that FXO has what seems like endlessly deep pockets .

It was Xiaot I believe in the Star Wars 6 tourney. xiaOt = Protoss. Xigua = Zerg. xiaOt has also taken on more of a coaching/management role these days. So he doesn't play as much. They're teammates though.

I want to murder a puppy every time a retarded Naniwa fan brings this shit up.

How about this? If they don't fuck up majorly, doing the most idiotic thing ever done in a televised game, they should be perfectly fine. Deal?

I don't see how naniwa doing something idiotic = GOM doing something unprofessional when they changed the seeding format before the naniwa thing even happened

Oh, don't start this again.

Good luck to both XiGua and MacSed. They'll need it!

As long as they don't do some batshit crazy stuff during broadcasted matches, I think they're pretty safe.

See what I did there? Start a stupid, old and unimportant discussion on a completely unrelated post... don't do it.

GOM is turning into congress with the amount of free handouts they are giving lately. I just can't anymore get myself to root for a foreigner than doesn't actually qualify. History has not been kind to non-Koreans in Code-A and until people actually prove through themselves though qualification I don't believe they truly belong there.

That's a kinda dumb perspective. History has not been kind to Korean players either. MC dropped to Code B before getting an MLG handout. MMA got into Code S via an MLG handout, and he's been in three finals since then. Puma has beaten tons of Code S players outside of Korea, but continues to fail to qualify for Code A. Hero only just qualified 2 or 3 months ago after failing for like a year.

There have been plenty of foreigner successes in GSL. Compare Jinro to someone like ST'Rainbow. Naniwa to HongUn. Huk to Puzzle. QXC to Hotmail.

Yeah we've seen a lot of foreigners flame out of Code A seeds. Haypro, Ret, Morrow, Thorzain, etc. And then we got guys who did okay but not great, like Select and Sjow. But you gotta compare that to the huuuuge number of Koreans who've flamed out of Code A too.

And just because foreigners haven't prouced a MVP or Nestea or DRG or MMA doesn't mean that foreigners aren't worth watching. It just means that the foreign scene is not Code S yet.

Of course a Code S Korean is going to dominate MLG when they show up. But a Code A/Code B level Korean like Hwangsin or Choya is merely going to do well, not dominate.

I think handing out Code A spots is actually a decent thing to do. They are not just handing the spots out to whoever, they are handing them out to foreign communities that they believe can help build the GSL brand, and attract much more viewership. If you give 2 top Chinese players a spot in code A, then you now have the entire Chinese SC2 audience behind them, all buying season tickets just to watch their national hero's. It is a very very smart move by GOMTV. Secondly, giving out spots to different foreigners from different countries allows the GSL to bring the community together, rather than how it was in SC/BW where the Korean scene was completely isolated from anyone else. At least they are attempting to bridge that gap regularly, even if that means giving someone a code A spot, that another Korean would of earned.

I remember that xiaOt said, when he beat IdrA in that tourney, that XiGua was two tiers above IdrA in terms of play. And then people got angry on these forums. Rofl.

Maybe we can finally see MacSed get some recognition, he's a fantastic Protoss. Also good to see the main Chinese team attempt to "put themselves out there", it can only be a good thing =)

It's called affirmative action and it's a good thing. Seeding non koreans means more interest in other countries. More interest in other countries means more skill from other countries.
