He beat leenock and nestea, what more does he have to do to be code s caliber TT
Valor is a poor substitute for numbers.

lol. 7 total zergs in UP&Down matches. only three are probably going to get out at best, up and downs too stacked to expect all 7 to get out.

The people complaining about Naniwa's Code S seed seem to be forgetting that he already had this code S seed from MLG Providence until the probe incident, so it seems pretty fair that he get it back (he's done his penance).

So what has stephano done since IPL 3 besides owning foreigners? I don't get why we still hype the shit out of stephano, yes he is by far the best european zerg, but in recent times he has not showed that he is actually able to compete with code s players.

Second place Assembly, 2-2 in Blizzard cup group including win against DRG who finished second there and won this GSL. And I need to ask, what has anyone not already in code S done since IPL besides owning foreigners? There hasn't been that many tournaments except for Assembly and MLG - Polt from Assembly as well as Huk and Naniwa from MLG are seeded already. Only thing remaining is IEM World Cup, which was heavily dominated by people who are already code S (and played very recently so they probably made the decisions for seeds before it was played). There's not a lot of people to choose from.


Puma's won NASL Season 2, finished second at Dreamhack Winter and IEM World Championships and finished 3rd at Assembly and IEM China in that time.

I did say there's not a lot of people to choose from, not that there wasn't anyone. Also at NASL he only basically defeated a bunch of foreigners, which according to Lorch didn't count. I think Dreamhack and NASL are "in the past" as far as GSL are concerned, because they would have garnered seeds for the previous GSL season and not this one. And IEM WC is too recent, seeds were determined before that.


You can't backtrack now. You said what have they done since IPL3, and Puma has done a hell of a lot.

I'm not backtracking, as I did say that there are not a lot of people to choose from. And no, other than owning foreigners, Puma hasn't done a hell of a lot. His run in NASL was almost completely against foreigners, IEM China was BEFORE IPL3, his run at Assembly was also almost completely against foreigners (before the third place match there was only Select). Like I said, they were unable to consider IEM WC. Only at Dreamhack did he have any meaningful Korean opposition. It's not "a hell of a lot".

Wrong again.

Dreamhack Winter - Beat DRG, best Zerg in the world (Code S), also beat Genius (Code S finalists).
NASL 2 - Beat Hero (Code S)
IEM WC - Beat MMA, best Terran in the world (Code S), also beat JYP who is terrible vs Terran but still a Code S player.
MLG Providence - Beat Losira (was Code S)
MLG Orlando - Beat Polt (Code S).

So yeah you're completely wrong, Puma has beaten some ridiculously good players at foreign tournaments.

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

One good run doesn't deserve a Code S seed, maybe not even Code B...


I assume you mean Code A, considering that all starcraft players outside of the GSL can be considered Code B players.

Yep, the same way DRG, MMA and MC got theirs. It's only fair in my book.
I really think Puma deserves a seed as well though, but I wont complain about neither Naniwa or Polt as they are both deserving.

Double standards much? Why did he fail in code A? You asked this for Naniwa, why not ask for puma? You just hate some foreigners and try to show it publicly.

He dropped out of code A last season, I don't think he even re-qualified.
