It could be illness related rather than a physical injury and the language used in the release is simply a little inaccurate. Ret is pretty ill at the moment and he withdrew from the IEM World Championship at CeBIT. Meanwhile, DeMusliM was saying on stream (last weekend I think) that he went to the doctor and that he was not feeling well. He went on to say that he possibly had a chest infection, which would not be something you'd like to travel too far with. Just a couple of other possibilities.

Hoping for:
A BboongBboong, Squirtle
B Leenock, Inca
C Maru, TheSTC
D Lucky, HuK
E Creator, BoxeR
Probably not going to turn out this way though

Why was HuK seeded?
He got 3rd at MLG Winter

Somehow, I hope Polt gets the seed spot or a code S spot.
That guy is a beast and belongs with the best of them!

He finished 3rd at MLG's Winter Arena and he's a highly visible player that brings a lot of interest to the league through his participation. He's also played very well in the past and been one of the most consistent foreigners to play in the GSL. Also he's someone who's committed to staying in Korea so he's a relatively good bet as a player who's not going to forfeit or flake out after a season or two. I feel like they're trying to be a little safer with their picks this time around to try to avoid situations like they had with Sheth/Sjow/Sen.

Good call. So, Demuslim and Ret. Any other probables? Naniwa maybe? Trying to think who else would be able to compete for a Code A spot and stand a chance at winning.

They're two of the foreigners who both have the appeal/exposure that Gom would be looking for and the skill to compete with the players who're in the Up and Downs.
Well, I doubt NaNiWa would forfeit and I don't know of any physical issues for him. Also, I don't know if Gom is over his 7 probe rush yet. The other thing that crosses my mind is that NaNiWa performed really well against some very strong Korean players at MLG which might lead them to believe that he can get it done in Code S, especially given that he was considered for a previous season (provided they are willing to give him a chance). He'd be in the ring for a Code S spot I'd imagine.

Didn't GOM say they'd be fine with him trying to get back into Code A the old fashioned way? Plus, he was the second/third highest placing foreigner at MLG Winter Arena (depending on how you view viOlet).

I know what you mean. I didn't really articulate it too well, but I was trying to say that because I don't think NaNiWa is injured (He commented on Twitter that he would have stepped in as a replacement for a drop out at IEM World Champs if he was asked) and his past performances have been pretty good (barring the 7 probe rush) it leads me to believe that it's not him and that he is either going to go to the qualifiers or he's a possibility for Code S.

Very easy group for Squirtle. He didn't really need the help but I guess this is fine, hopefully less stress for me. =D

Are these groups random? Or have they been made to avoid teamkills?

Groups look rather lopsided. Groups A and D look really weak, while group E and maybe B look too strong.

it would be a shame if polt didn;t get a code S seed, since huk got up/down seed with 3rd place at MLG

Naniwa tweeted to Khaldor that he won't be going for the qualifiers

A: Squitle and Keen
Squirtle has been looking pretty good recently and Keen is destined to continue his struggle against Nada in code S
B: Leenock and Inca
Leenock has trouble against protoss but he should still be able to beat the two in the group. 50/50 vs Ganzi, and I think he can take Sniper. Inca is a reach, but he's.....decent and somehow I feel DTs will save his ass again.
C: theSTC and sC
Cause they good
D: Killer and Lucky
This group is pretty equal...so I just picked the guys I liked :p
E: Too hard and heartbreaking to pick. Everyone deserves code S
