We have 4 seeds. 2 Code S and 2 Up/Down Seeds + potentially a couple of Code A seeds if GOM chooses to use them.
Personal opinion for me is:
Code S: Polt, Violet
Up/Down: Naniwa Huk, Puma.
Just remembered that Huk is doing better than Naniwa at the current MLG. Huk or Violet would be interchangeable as a Code S seed depending on who performs better tomorrow.
doing better is a harsh thing to say, he is longer in the tour yes, but after nestea leenock etc you cant say that naniwa was anyway bad
also i still think that naniwa and huk are way better then violet and shows it everytime

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
Sase,Grubby?
i see naniwa raping 2 of the top3 kor zergs in the world, huk beating every korean easy peasy to the final of WB, ret beating mvp and even grubby destroying losira and still some peple say "they have no realistic chances" etc ... is there any reason ? i mean calling kas ahead of naniwa and huk seems strange

After seeing the games yesterday.. vs Leenock and Nestea my vote goes to Naniwa. 2nd choice Stephano and 3rd HuK.

There shouldn't be free spots into Code S, but for discussions' sake, Polt and Naniwa. I bet Stephano already got an invitation and declined it. He left Korea pretty fast and didn't seem interested in GSL at all.
there shouldn't be war or starving children, but there are, as there are Code S seed. If you dont like them, complain at GOM, not at TL

Violet and polt imo after how well they are preforming
|
Would be ridiculous if Polt received a seed only days after losing and dropping to Code B. No matter he's performance in the past or at ROG. He should either have to fight trough the prelims or continue winning premier international events. Right now I see no reason to give out Code S seeds especially when everyone that gets on gets demolished, should give out Code A seeds if anything at all or into the Up & Down matches.

Unfortunately this is where things become tricky when we're given a vague guideline as to how to achieve an international seed into the GSL with so many foreign tournaments and progamers winning each tournament. And from a business point of view, it makes total sense to invite foreigners over Koreans who won whichever tournament they played in.
|
Polt, his run through Assembly was harder than most Code A matches.
Violet, no. He didn't stand a chance against Marineking.
Naniwa, amazing games against Nestea & Leenock. He was only banned for one season so its possible. Would be justified.
Huk, haven't saw the games. Can't tell.

Then what's the point of giving out the Code S seeds? If he can leave Korea and tear face, even among other Koreans, he should inherit the spot that would otherwise be given to a foreigner. Polt won the ST, and he just won Winter Assembly...in convincing fashion. He is honestly first in line IMHO.
As far as a second seed goes, Stephano already said he doesn't like Korea, and he'd much rather do his own thing his own way in his own comfort zone instead of holed up in a house full of Korean dudes, when probably no one speaks English, let alone French...
I'd give the second to HuK or Nani as they're both already in Korea, and seeing how HuK's already made a deep-run bypassing huge talent in such a way that makes him look levels above the rest. I say HuK for #2.

i hope one day there will be an international ranking system and if GSL will still hand out Code S seeds there will be a fair system.

Polt/Naniwa for Code S. Put Puma and Huk in the up and downs imo.
Polt's run through the bracket at Assembly was through all potentially code S players. Taeja (soon to be Code s imo), Hero (good chance at code S upper code A), Lucky (code s this season), and then Stephano (very strong player who managed 2-2 at blizzard cup)

Probably gonna be Polt and Naniwa, unless Huk win Winter arena, then he might get it.

To be fair to Polt, he'd been rather ill before the GSTL and his Code A games.
He went through three Code A players (several with code s experience) and the best foreign player to win assembly, I'd say that should be more than enough to have him at least be considered. Got to remember that players like MMA/DRG/MC have all relied on a foreign tournament Code S seed to get their GSL position to where it is at the moment.

Stop making foreign events easier qualifiers for the GSL please. No seeds, I don't care if they're given to Koreans or foreigners, either way I don't want them. If these players are so great they can qualify like everyone else. In fact, if they stop giving out seeds there will even be more places to qualify for in code A!
|
I guess now with the new format you really "give" a code S card, cos everyone kinda needs it, considiring that only 8 players manage to stay in the code S.
I say DON'T give foriegners code S\A, look at the last resolts by the foriegners.... almost everyone of them lost all their games.
|
My heart says Naniwa/Huk, I'd love to see them do well in Code S, but I think Polt or Stephano would be amazing choices too.

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.
Quoted for truth.

Code S should be considered for Polt. Heck MC got back into Code S and almost made it to the semifinals. That seed just might swing moment back into his favor.
The second seed is much more difficult to decide. I would have preferred that it go to Stephano but i highly doubt that he would take it. Maybe if Millienum was invited into the GSTL, he would finally accept going to the main tournament.
The second seed should be easier to decide after up and downs Forgot that the new format starts the GSL with the up and down matches
I think the seed should be given to Violet. His run in MLG, 4th at HSC IV and his win at IEM Sao Paulo. On top of that, compared with he rest of the players still in MLG, violet has not been in the GSL since his elimination back in august 2011.

As long as the players are of higher caliber than idra, i think they'll do fine with seeding.
Sen was a good choice, he can actually compete.
|
Polt and Violet
But since Violet wouldn't want it, winner of MLG arena is fine. The idea that it must be a foreigner to take the seed is stupid

huk beating every korean easy peasy to the final of WB
Huk literally played against 1 korean to get the the finals of WB, and that's a PvP with Oz.
