EPTI'm sure these players are good enough to qualify for themselves, why cause a commotion by giving them seeds? Would also make GSL/Foreign teams a bit more legit.

If they want to qualify they go through the qualifiers like everyone else. When they get knocked out, everything will return to normal. | ||

Because otherwise you have to live and practice IN korea exclusively and lose out on all the other tournaments you could be playing. All for the really low chance that you'll actually make it through code B. | ||

And I remember the Chinese players complaining about the map pool numerous times and saying that the reason they do well in WCG and other tournaments is because they have experience playing on the ladder maps (GSL/MLG versions of ladder maps do make a difference). | ||

I guess now that there are fewer GSL's each year and MLG is not for a long time it kind of makes sense though. | ||

It is only a tiny fraction of the 48 code A players, and greatly increases interest in Code A for foreign viewers, and gives foreign players an easier way into the GSL. Its also sink or swim so they will be kicked out fast if they can't hack it. If you took away the GSL invites you would have almost no foreigners in the GSL or evening attempting to make it in. Great idea. | ||

Great idea. So? If they aren't good enough to qualify themselves then why should they be in the GSL? Maybe if it was just Code A seeds, since yeah it is a big investment to stay in Korea to play, but now they are even giving free Code S spots to foreigners which is ridiculous. | ||

As far as I'm concerned people like Huk deserve their spot because they earned it. For example for Sheth when he got his Code A spot, he showed that he deserved it by getting through the first round thus keeping his spot. The problem is, moving to Korea and working from ground up is too huge of a commitment for players, especially those who are still improving. There exist Code S standard players out of Korea that GSL wants to inject into the competition for our entertainment, players which are huge fan favorites, I see nothing wrong with that. | ||

Because some of them will be good enough if given enough time. Korea has the top talent in the world, that's just how it is right now and you can't argue this. The best players live in Korea. If you want the rest of the world to be able to compete, this is a great way to help. | ||
