One thing I don't understand is why GOM didn't fill in the missing players. They could run some kind of wildcard tournament or give out seeds.
Because the don't really need to. The seeds are just optional, so I don't see the need to make an extra effort. There are enough people in those groups who deserve to be in Code S, so adding a couple with some random tournament is not going to change much imo.

Stop bashing Huk you morons. Huk deserved the seed and he got it, and if he doesn't deserve it then he'll lose and be knocked out again, so there's nothing to whine about.

My heart says:
Group A - Keen + Yugioh
Group B - Leenock + Ganzi
Group C - TheSTC + sC
Group D - Lucky + HuK
Group E - Creator + Boxer
I totally don't expect these results though, but I hope my heart is strong enough to pull them through.

I hope brown makes it past group D. he's gonna have tough matches against killer (knocked him out of code a, but not a really formidable pvp opponent), lucky (who's zvp is yet to be tested on a really spectacular protoss as of yet), fin (who's not the monster we all thought he was), and huk (who has really good pvp in general).
Brown has shown amazing potential last season in code a, and his pvt against alive (played some of the best pvt I've seen, even though he lost). His pvp is kinda shaky though, i guess he will definitely be put to the test against huk and killer.

My hopes for the end result:
Group A - Keen + BBoongBBoong
Group B - Leenock + InCa
Group C - TheStC + sC
Group D - Fin + Brown
Group E - Creator + SuperNova

I wish GOM would replace the missing players. They don't even need to be foreigners. Hold a special online tournament for the spots or something.
It just seems unfair that some players only have to be top 40% rather than top 33% to advance to Code S, and it isn't like there is a lack or willing players...

ridiculous to give seeds to people who just failed out. I agree. I support giving further seeds to foreigners. But its a bit pointless to give it to someone who just dropped out. So in the end it didnt even matter if Huk tried in Code A. I bet this looks a bit strange for the Korean players as well. Not that strange. Huk did get 3rd at the last MLG event. MMA was recently knocked into Code B when he got his MLG code s seed, as well as MC. MC fell from Code S to Code B during a time when it was very difficult to do so (last in groups, then lose Up and Down, then lose in first round). MMA and MCs seed were different as MLG and GSL established a system to get seeding into Code S that was very clear. Now it is much more ambiguous in that they invite you if they want to and they think your deserve it. Exactly. MMA and MC qualified for the seed. GOM had to give it. That doesnt apply to Huk.
Yes, and now GOM did give Huk the seed. I was arguing that Huk was not an undeserving recipient of the seed, not that GOM had to give Huk and only Huk the seed.

so is the unnamed 2nd player ret? he's the only person who's been in the spotlight recently and he's sick right?

You could be unlucky and get the toughest 5-group ever, or lucky and get an easy 6-group. Together with arbitrary seeds, I think it is pointless to talk about fairness.

huk is not undeserving, but I think it is still wrong to give him a seed. top koreans are not undeserving either, but did for example bomber get a seed? or polt?
these double standards piss me off.

I keep seeing Creator's name pop up for things... didn't MarineKing say in his RO24 Code A victory interview that Creator quit progaming and is going to focus on his studies? Mistranslation? Finishing out obligations? Anyone have any info on this?

That was Core.
Creator is probably the next big Protoss star.

Funnily Creator wasn't even in the teamhouse since he was the webmaster, but he ended up qualifying for code A and became a beast

While I am a HuK supporter, I'm surprised he got the seed. It's up to him to make the most of it though. For those arguing that NaNiwa should have gotten the seed, had he not probe rushed against Nestea I'm sure he would of gotten it.
