I'm thinking PuMa and Polt are more likely. Of course, IEM results could change that... Huk didnt place much better and actually his performance at MLG was worse. They both lost to MKP+DRG, Naniwa beat better players. Huk just was in Code S. I think thats a reason, too. Huk is even not happy they gave him up/down spot. | ||

Maybe wanted to qualify himself after loosing in code a instead of getting seeded. Kinda wierd that gom is not replacing the 2nd spot, it's not like there are enough foreigners/people without code s in korea who would do well. | ||

Most overhyped player imo He lost to the 3rd best Zerg and the #1 Protoss in the world in probably the 2nd hardest group in Code S Ro32. You can't really say a player is bad because he lost to those players. | ||

I agree based on merit and availability to play in Korea. It makes sense for the Up/Down Seeds to go to only foreigners, but Code S seeds really need to be based on merit in foreign tournaments otherwise they'll just lose first round in bad games. | ||

The only foreigners worth seeding into Code S are Naniwa, who has some bad history with GSL, and Stephano, who doesn't want to play GSL. | ||

I interpreted it as Huk being disappointed that he didn't receive a Code S seed, not that he didn't want to be seeded at all. He could decline if he wanted to, but he didn't. No way EG forced Huk to take a seed. Edit: Seems to me Huk wanted the foreigner Code S seed, which seems to be going to Naniwa. Because he placed high in Winter Arena and Naniwa hasn't really done much to earn this spot, other than annoy Nestea a couple times | ||
