Because if it is international players, Koreans like Polt can't get it  Else I guess it should be decided between the top players of MLG and Assembly, though I'd personally prefer fanfavorites or foreigners over Koreans that jump between Code B-S anyways. (for the drama and entertainment and the growth of esports) | ||

The number of foreign players that are able to compete at code S is too limited, and giving it to players that live in Korea is just weird and unfair for players that don't have the opportunity to go to foreign tournaments. ? look at how many koreans qualify for mlg and assembly... don't be rediculous. the main reason foreigners can't compete in gsl is because they're out of their comfort zone when playing in korea, on the biggest stage. it must be incredibly intimidating. the game is still largely luck based, especially in mirror matchups - you lose 1 game and drop to code A, then lose another couple of games and you're in code B... that's stupidly harsh. the top players should definitely have the opportunity to get seeded back into codeS.... it's happened for most of the best codeS players right now. | ||

It's easy to say "when they are at their best". Huk got trashed by a code a zerg in the gsl this very season so I don't expect Gom to give him a code s seed immediately | ||

- Because he is code S caliber. - Because he did something stupid unintentionally - Because his punishment was given by his team, not by GOM, and so there's nothing wrong with rewarding him a seed to get him back. - Because there are likely less Zergs than other races. - Because I like him! (most important, of course) 2) Huk if he wins MLG, otherwise Polt. ... partly because I don't think Violet would take it. | ||

Uhm in Code S if u have to lose 2 BO3s before dropping to Code A unless u reach RO8. Lose in RO48 Code A(which is using BO3 format as well) u drop to Code B. Lose in RO32 & 24 and you go to the Up & Down and still have a chance to qualify for Code S. And they're still playing in booths, not too different from the ones they already tend to play in... | ||

he might go to korea for code S since there is a lot of money to make. i can totally understand he declined code A seeds cause that is just a waste of time for him since he can make way more money outside of korea | ||

No i wasent GSL October Huk gets third in his group, no changes GSL November Huk gets Ro16 but dont advance, drops to Code A Code A november where he loses to keen, then in up and downs goes 1-3 and dont advance and stays in code A. Code A season 1 Huk loses first round and goes out. My facts are fine and huk did not recieve a Code A/S spot during this period | ||

There are enough GSLs per year, that giving away 2 seeds for foreigners that then get trashed is not big, especially as most koreans that they would give it to would get trashed as well... But for GOM it means a lot of money from people who specifically root for foreigners and there is the chance that one of those foreigners might become a solid Code S player. Yet just giving it to a big fanfavorite like Polt or MKP would be great as well! | ||
