SEEDS ARE NOT JUST FOR FOREIGNERS

HuK just lost Code S status and I doubt they would IMMEDIATELY seed him back in, maybe next season if he fails to requalify, Stephano and viOLet don't want it and NaNiwa is just plain unlikely...

It can't be someone already in GSL. Seeds are to bring in new players. Polt is in Code A already and thus won't get one until a couple seasons after he drops out of Code A. It wouldn't make sense if he failed to make it to Code S through U/D matches and was seeded anyway. That's the problem with giving seeds to people already in GSL.

IMO they should give seeds to EGPuMa and maaaaybe LiquidRet if he's willing to return but honestly there's no one worthy of a seed right now.

Polt dropped out of Code A man. And Puma ??? There are people that deserve the seed much more than him lately, he's been disappointing.

Fixed.

PuMa never got anything in GSL from his NASL 2 win. If they're willing to give DeMusliM a Code A/Up and Down seed from MLG results mid last year I don't see why they wouldn't reward PuMa for winning NASL 1 and 2...he didn't get a Blizz Cup invite from it.

A seed in the up/down and a seed in code s is very different .... Also they never said that they would give the winner of NASL 2 a spot in blizzcup

I know, but NASL 2 was a BIIIG tournament, bigger than the IEM that gave DRG his Blizz Cup spot, so it seems odd that it was completely ignored by GSL.

Source? I was pretty sure these "sponsor seeds" were meant to stimulate foreign fans` interest for GSL.

In terms of results recently I'd say these people should get invited in to Code S (from top to bottom)

Polt
viOlet
HuK
Stephano
NaNiwa

viOlet / HuK positions may change depending on results tomorrow.

now, obviously Stephano won't accept an invite as he'd rather keep going to foreign tournaments and get easy money there. Then you're left with the discussion of should people who just got knocked out of GSL be seeded back in to it which is a bit of a tough one. Didn't mind it last year when MC got back in as the rules for MLG seeds weren't subjective but obviously this year they are. I think HuK is without doubt Code S material, regardless of what has happened to him recently and Polt basically losing everything for two weeks as he had flu was tough on him so those would be my choices.

But if people who just got knocked out of GSL shouldn't get invites then give them to viOlet and NaNiwa.

I'd say Violet for multiple good performances in a row. Also Polt.

I agree with this also. The best foreigner we have are like HuK, Naniwa and Stephano. But like many others say Stephano don't want to go to Korea, and I don't think HuK or Naniwa should be given one really. Especially not HuK since he was just given one last GSL and lost it.

I hope Polt and someone else gets it, preferably Violet.

Huk was given code A seed a long time ago, he just dropped out of code S due to the hard format implemented in november(Dropping out in Ro16). And lost to keen in Ro16 code a and his up and down matches and then lost his first round this season

I don't think viOLet wants to return to Korea? I thought he was focusing on international tournaments.

Violet really has impressed lately.


the foreigner... hm.

Stephano? the obvious and the only one with realistic chances imho, maybe he changed his opinion about korea... but i doubt it
Kas? he did well lately except Assembly

See the op. International does not mean world minus Korea.
I can't derive this from the op, in particular the GOM quote. "International seeds", and the first considered for the first season were Idra and Naniwa (who got replaced by Sen, because of probe rushing) -- all 3 of these are foreigners.

Anyway, assuming they mean foreigners, they should give it to Dimaga (2nd IEM, 7th HSC) and Ret (3rd IEM, Round 3 WB MLG) - if they require at least two top performances; or Huk and Stephano - if only one top performance suffices.
/better make the last pair Huk and Naniwa, as Stephano is almost certain to refuse/

I don't get naniwa. Loses to lucky i think 2 code A's on the trot. Beats Nestea repeatedly... And Leenock for that matter

It's not that hard to get .You just watch the games. Lucky didn't do silly stupid bizarre cheeses. He played well and straight up and won.

Please people .... Polt lost in the Ro32 of GSL November finishing in 3rd place and thus dropping down to the Round 2 of Code A where he lost 0-2 against ForGG.

Seems like foreigners are not that good at preparing a couple weeks just for one match.

As a whole Assembly wasn't as stacked as MLG Arena but Polt's run was harder than most people's run in MLG arena. Taking down TaeJa, HerO, Lucky, Stephano. Or rather destroying them.


Hm, that's actually quite a good point. You shouldn't only decide by player pool, but by the individual run.
Or is it not? I mean, if a player pool is stacked, you might still be able to have an on-the-first-glance easy run.
However in fact you might have beaten the terran that beat NesTea and the zerg that beat MVP, etc...
Shouldn't that be acknowledged as well?


acknowledged sure.

given a seed in the most prestigious difficult starcraft 2 tournament based on one good match?

hell the fuck no.
