Watch when Naniwa loses and gets knocked out of Code S - all the fanboys will start saying "fuck you Gom I'm not buying a ticket now."

How Gom is to blame is beyond me, but you see this everytime a foreigner is knocked out of the tournament.

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

I don't know, maybe Puma declined because he wants to try code A qualifier again.

so it takes no skill to hold rushes from the best zergs and come back and kill them. Riiiight.



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.


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.


Huk? =)) =)) For beating who? OZ?


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.

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?


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.


So why are you allowed to ignore results, but only take account of who a player beat and yet completely ignore what actually happened in the match?

That seems extremely selective and dumb.

So in your bizzare world of wanting Naniwa to get Code S at all costs what matters is not where you finish in tournament but how many good (and of course good is relative to whether you played Naniwa or not seen as Oz in PvP is apparently worth less than Leenock in ZvP) players you beat but what has even less relevance than where you finished in a tournament is how you actually won your games.

That makes total sense...


Mvp, Nestea, Leenock, MC, Oz, Jjakji!

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?

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.

get your facts right, HuK lost to MKP and DRG, just like Naniwa.

Polt got seed. Also Violet was the winner of IEM San Paulo. I believe Violet deserve the seed more than Puma and Naniwa.

I agreed with you.IMO Violet has been improving a lot and have been posting very good results lately.
Stephano,Violet and Puma deserve the Code S more than Naniwa.
Play your best

Violet ? for winning IEM San Paulo where koreans decided not to go because it was too far ?
Yeah, right. This clearly outweight:
2nd IEM WC, 1 game away from taking the title
Assembly 3rd
2nd Dreamhack winter, 1 game away from taking the title
2 times NASL champion
1rst IEM Cologne.

i disagree, violets achievements are not comparable to Pumas or even Polts in the foreign scene. And Naniwa IS a foreigner and that gives him a small bonus.

good that Polt got seeded he really deserves if. On the other hand.. wtf Naniwa code s spot? For what exactly? 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.

after what Naniwa did in GSL I would life ban him from GSL,but other than that, Polt has shown really good results lately and Naniwa didn't do much lately - Providence was long time ago. There are obvisiously many koreans who had better results in the last months than naniwa

I think Puma's results are way more consistent than Naniwa's. He def deserves a seed IMO. Providence was pretty way back.

man..wanted stephano but he didn't want it..wierd that a foreigner would be seeded despite not winning a tournament and being owned in code A repeatedly.


Yeah, the dude that beat DRG, and Nestea and MVP in the same day, and then Nestea again, and then Nestea and leenock is just a complete nobody that deserves nothing. Who is this bronze naniwa?


Still talking about things that happened six months ago...i guess he should get a permanent code s seed.

After his 0-4 result at blizzard cup, he showed that he ain't ready to play in code S yet.

Were you watching the same Blizzard cup as I was? One of those games he lost on purpose, the other three were very tense and pretty close.


Yeah i saw Blizzard cup and no matter how close those games were, he still lost...that's the difference between koreans and foreigners, they sure know how to win even if the games are close.

Can't believe how they chose Naniwa over Huk(Stephano sure would've deserved the seed, but he doesn't want to go to Korea so...)


Because when Huk loses it's not close.



Haha, thank you good sir, this post made my day

I think both Polt and Naniwa deserved the invites. Naniwas GSL record may be horrible but his overallrecord and his collection of scalps is extremely impressive. Hopefully he will prove himself now and silence the haters
