If his skill isn't up to it he'll bounce back into Code A, so whatever. It's too bad that they don't have the same criteria with even more skilled players because they aren't as popular, but oh well. I guess everything will reach some sort of order at the end anyways. Poor BoxeR and his group of death, too. Maybe he can pull his psychological pressure superpowers onto Happy, Supernova and Creator and make them gg 2 minutes into the game. ...one can wish. | ||

The guy is having trouble at weaker tournaments like MLG and IEM and needs to regroup. Why waste his time flying out there for another beating, just so people who enjoy him losing bump up GOM's ratings for one day? | ||

You can't exactly call it double standards when gom have been very consistent in inviting their players not based on skill. | ||

Qualifiers to that tournament runs at Weekly at GOMTV where half spots are given (runs 1½-2 months). 3. Rest are invites where majority is top foreigners and rest is top koreans. Pros: - Foreigners are more willing to participate when its only few days rather than months - GOMTV can focus more on team leagues - Frees up koreans for foreign tournaments (less schedule conflicts) - No more Code A Cons: - GSL loses ratings due to people not bother watching qualifiers instead watches main event - No more Code A We already have that, it's called every foreign event. | ||

Hopefully these games are good, for me the up down matches are often lacklustre. | ||

My Heart says: MVPKeen & BboongBboongPRIME (Cermonies and a good Zerg) FXOLeenock & MVPSniper (Two rly nice Zerg players) BumblebeePRIME and MVPsC (Another Zerg + sC is my favorite TvZ-player) oGsFin & EG.HuK (Fun with a foreigner and I want Fin to be good) ST_July & SlayerS_Boxer. (NaDa, Boxer and July in the same season, doesn't get much better than that) If these would all advance and then Naniwa and Polt gets the seeds we would have the most entertaining Code S Lineup ever IMO. | ||

Look at the NASL: the NORTH AMERICAN starleague turns into a mostly Korean tournament. Second, your statement that GSL doesn't pay for anything is just plain wrong. Foreigners that come to Korea get to stay at a practice house financed by GOM. Third, Polt actually won something, whereas Huk got 3rd place by getting through a relatively easy bracket. In the end Huk lost to the same players that Naniwa lost to, just later on because of bracket luck. If anything, Naniwa, despite placing lower, did better just because of the players he defeated. Fourth, Gom seeds are for foreigners who make the hard trek to Korea; that is true. However, Huk LIVES in Korea and has been living there for an extended period of time. If anything, he's probably more used to Korea at this point than any other country. Only his first seed is justified to help him get acclimated and incentivize his coming. However, future seeds, especially after he just dropped out, is pointless. Fifth, if you haven't noticed, when a Korean goes to a foreign tournament, they aren't seeded directly into the second round, other than MLG last season. In MLG's case its to prevent Koreans from dominating the open brackets and discourage up and coming players from trying to get through. In every other instance, Koreans start on the same ground as every other player. In GSL code A is NOT the first round; the QUALIFIERS are. You shouldn't get seeded into Code A just because your a foreigner. If you fail the FIRST time, you should not be given a second chance, especially if your going to stay there for the forseeable future. Lastly, you argue as if the system is fair. It is absolutely not fair, especially from a competitor's standpoint. Its not fair to the Koreans. What Gom is doing is a business decision. From that standpoint it's reasonable. However from a fairness standpoint, it will never be fair. That's your view on it: People want to complain for the sake of it, complain all you want. I don't think like that and fortunatly GOM doesn't also. Take the spot HuK the majority will support it. | ||

Naniwa lost to the same players and beat more Code S Koreans on the way there. A 3rd place finish doesn't mean very much in a double elimination bracket. I am talking about tournament results, i.e. at what place they are finished, because that is the criteria after which the code S seeds are officially handed out. | ||

Take the spot HuK the majority will support it. Why do you respond to him like that. He has five nicely formatted points. All with proper argumentation to support them. You say: "well that's like your opinion man". I think this is extremely disrespectful. If you are gonna disagree, at least have the decency to explain why, since he also explained it nicely. I like the fourth point especially this is something I hadn't thought off before. It also seems more in line with the objective of gaining interest from viewer by inviting players from the outside, since those you already have will already be providing something. Be it from qualifiers, getting seeded into Code A. You can then have that player + a new one. | ||

There are two Code S seeds to be rewarded still to one of Polt, Naniwa, Violet, other foreigners, etc. You are sure that 2 code S spots will be given right ? I hope Naniwa and another one gets it ( Idra if he changes to terran ) , not polt , theres like 64 Koreans at the GSL he is just another one that will probably be able to qualify next season , so while this one lasts , he can go to foreign events. | ||

Yes. 8 Code S from Season 1 12 from Code A 10 from Up-and-Downs Which is 30 and the final two will be given to the two international seeds who have the best international tournament results in the recent history. | ||
