EPTBut on the other hand, it is a big big invite...
But I would dislike to see Polt, IdrA, HuK. Just because they just fell out and it isn't fair for the other players.

Depedning on how polt does I'd say give it to him and huk (honestly you can say about huk what you want but getting top 3 at an event with that player lineup shows a lot) also he fell to code b when he literally wasn't praciticing for a long time and only started to play again like a week before his games. | ||

Polt definitely deserves one. Played incredible games at Assembly and went through the bracket of hell, plus his online international results in the IPL qualifiers where he went through another hard road, NASL qualification, etc. Second probably to Violet, but he would probably decline since he lives in the US now and seems interested more in foreign tournaments than Korea. I guess if MarineKing somehow doesn't make Code S, then I guess him, but he'll probably make it by himself. After that, probably Huk or Stephano, and since Stephano would probably decline, Huk, I guess. | ||

They do it in Tennis (Wildcard given to host country of the tournament, young players and aging veterans), Golf (sponsor exemptions), the Olympics (tripartite invitations for countries that don't qualify much athletes)... heck, in the Olympic Tennis tournament, 8 out of 64 players are invitees (2 tripartite, 6 "normal" wildcards). The point being? "Welfare" spots are standard practice in sports, so I don't think its shocking or wrong that the GSL does it. Bottom line, its in their interest to invite players that help broaden their viewership base, and in the end its good for everyone. | ||

If either of them decline, then it would be one of (in no particular order): Huk(MLG 3rd) / Puma(ROG 3rd) / Ret(IEM 3rd) / DIMAGA(IEM 2nd) / Kas(IEM 3rd) / Sound(HSC 2nd) / Stephano(if he wants it)(ROG 2nd) edit: Actually I think MKP might also be considered if he were to lose upcoming Code A match. | ||

I'm sure Polt/Stephano would be great since both put on a great show this weekend, but Stephano would probably decline since I'm sure Chae would love him. I'm gonna guess Polt + Naniwa/Huk. | ||

As far as I know Stephano has stated that he would not accept a code S seed if it was offered to him. | ||

This is my guess as well. Seems pretty logical. Are they still giving out the up and down seeds as well like Morrow got or was that just because he was in Korea? | ||

Last time they did some chinese invites to appeal to their new chinese audience, so I wonder if there might be a more business-oriented invite again based losely on decent results (but not wins). To that end HuK, Naniwa, Dimaga or Stephano are probably all candadites. Also have to ask: are there any more major tournaments between now and the next season of GSL? Is there something for them to debate with after this weekend? | ||

He always does well at MLGs, is absolutely one of the best foreigners, has a chance to actually get to the Ro16. + Show Spoiler + This MLG he won against Grubby, Sheth, NesTea and Leenock, only losing to the champion and the runner-up. I really think he should get a seed | ||
