disregarding Naniwa....

Polt is back in code S! I think polt got the code S seed becuase A) he is a gsl champion, B) really outclassed his competition in Assembly.

Stephano is really smart not going for a Code S seed, instead opting to stay in Europe.

It's pretty funny that you think a Nestea 6 pool is some kind of godly 6 pool which is better than anyone elses 6 pool, as he can control those eight Zerglings in a way no other Zerg can.


It's funny that you think foreigners deserve no credit for winning games over koreans.

Ugh Seraphone is still at it with his endless foreigner bashing and negativity...this is getting old. Is there any way to hide/block posts of a single person?

Naniwa has shown he can compete against the top GSL players so I hope he can get over his nerves and play some good games. The Code S line-up is really sick btw, just a few more Zergs and it'd be perfect.

He deserves to go to the next round of MLG. That is it.

He doesn't deserve a free seed into another, better tournament when both Violet and Huk deserved it more.

Not that anyone should ever be invited anyway.

How about other non code S/A koreans who produce better results than Nani?

Well, the name is "Global...". So they might want to stick to that. Money talks and rating is needed.

Seraphone didn't say anything that bash all foreigners, i uderstand his points...Huk was third in MLG(he beat Oz and ret-who beat MVP-) and lost only to MKP, while Naniwa beat Nestea and Leenock(not the best ZvP out there) and lost to MKP and DRG.

3rd place is better than 8th place. In case you didn't realise that. Huk got major bracket luck sure, but too bad. If anything though beating Oz in PvP is around as impressive as proxy two gating, defending a six pool and beating Leenock is his worst matchup.

At the end of the day both Naniwa and Huk got raped by DRG and MKP but one of them finished on the medal podium.

Ret beat MVP does he deserve a seed? Demuslim beat Nestea should he get a seed? Grubby beat Losira how about Code S for Grubby?

I'd add Puma to list of players who deserve a Code S handout more than Naniwa as well.

So that's Puma, Huk, Violet and Stephano although I'm sure Stephano just declined one.

Honestly I have nothing against Naniwa, but his tournement play goes like this: Go do fantastic in a high quality foreigner tournement, get into code A, do bad. Do fantastic in foreign tournement, get into code A, do bad. But hopefully he will break his bad streak and stick in Code S.

For all of those saying that Naniwa is a poor choice for this season's seeding: May I remind you his matches against leenock and Nestea (2 former GSL champions) from a few days back?
He was only stopped by the best Zerg player in the WORLD from taking home the MLG Winter Arena champion title.

Naniwa has been showing consistent results in the foreign tournaments as of late and he had the Code S spot in the season 1 as well but due to the 7 probe rush against Nestea, GomTV producers decided to exclude him due to very bad manners.

It's time for Naniwa to redeem himself. I'm not saying he's gonna win the whole thing but he'll put a good show nonetheless.



He was also crushed 2-0 by MarineKing so he wasn't winning MLG regardless of the DRG result.


You don't know that. Nor do I.
But you are missing the point.. Naniwa is a top dog these days and he should be playing in Code S.


If he deserved Code S he would earn it.


Why, for honor?


Are you a Naniwa fan?All of your posts seems so biased toward him. I am not taking any sides here but i want to know GOM reasoning for seeding Naniwa into Code S. Is it based on his results or for the foreign market? We have seen almost all the foreigners get demolished at Code A and Code S. I think Violet,Puma and Stephano would deserve the seed better than Naniwa since they have posted much better results than him lately.Getting top 8 in MLG winter isn't exactly worth deserving a Code S.

Play your best

So sad that there's not more Zerg players. I really hope that NesTea makes it far into the tourney or that another Zerg can make it from the up and down matches or I'll not be watching most of the season.

They really don't want to seed Puma...
He is by far the player with the most achievements in the foreign scene.

It actually put a smile on my face that Nani was invited, since it shows that GomTV gives second chances . Although I´m not a huge Naniwa fan, the foreigner spot was obviously between him and Stephano.

Having said that I still feel that the"invite spots"should still at best be granted Code A status, since a lot of Korean players work incredibly hard to get to code S and "deserve" Code S spots just as much if not more than the players who get seeded in . Not saying that Nani and Polt don´t work hard, but they should atleast go through Code A like everyone else.

no.

You agree with Polt seed but not Naniwa? Polt dropped out of GSL in the first round of Code A only a few weeks ago. If you say well foreigner tournaments because Polt just won Assembly, then why disregard Naniwa's 2nd place at Providence (beating Nestea, Huk and DRG), his win of the global invitational (over MVP and Nestea) and his good run at the winter arena.

He deserves to go to the next round of MLG. That is it.

He doesn't deserve a free seed into another, better tournament when both Violet and Huk deserved it more.

3rd place is better than 8th but again, only you look at trophies. I look at who they actually beat. And Ret and Demuslim if they perform once more like this to prove that wasn't a lucky day (like hypro) then sure, it means they got what it takes to beat koreans.

And you still bring the strategies from the naniwas games. The 2 gate proxy in the 3rd game vs Nestea was 10 times more brilliant (especially from a metagame point of view) than the 9 gates of huk in every matchup.

And stop defending Stephano, he doesn't want to compete in GSL anyways.

Are you a Naniwa fan?


I am a Stephano and Naniwa fan but I have to admit that the Stephano EU domination is not the biggest thing out there.

Also when he meets a good korean Stephano usually fails to deliver but showing a great battle non the less.

So even though I am a stephano fan also I can't help it when I see all this Naniwa haters. The guys is a beast. Deal with it.

Huk got rolled by DRG @MLG Winter Arena. Please get your facts straight first :/

Are you serious? I thought GOM said they will invite players with great achievements in the foreign scene regardless of nationality into Code S.
