EPTPolt 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.

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 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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

He is by far the player with the most achievements in the foreign scene. | ||

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. | ||

A bit sad that GOM still seeds foreigners when there are lots of koreans with better results. But I guess naniwa gets more viewers 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. | ||

Demuslim beat Nestea should he get a seed? Grubby beat Losira how about Code S for Grubby? 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. | ||
