Was a waste of seed to give the spot to NaNiwa. He is a good foreigner but he miserably failed in Code A. Why not try someone else?

Why did Polt get a seed? Isn't he Korean? It might have been better to give it to HuK and give Polt the Up and Downs.


The code s seeds are for everyone, not just foreigners, and it's more fair like that


I meant like in terms of foreign viewers, more people are more likely to buy a pass to see HuK and Naniwa over just Naniwa and Polt.


Then they should just invite all of Liquid, Mouz, EG + Stephano, Catz, Destiny, Grubby and HD Starcraft to play vs Boxer, MVP, MMA, MC, Nada, Nestea and DRG every few months.
Mvp, Nestea, Leenock, MC, Oz, Jjakji!

Polt and Naniwa were the logical choices with Stephano not willing to participate in GSL. Like it or not, foreigners generate interest.


I don't mind it, I just don't think you should be getting a seed into the best league around if your record in it (predominantly in the lower part of that league) is 1-12.


MMA got seeded with a 7-6 record in Code A. It's not a very good indicator on whether or not you deserve to be in Code S. Naniwa is 0-6 in Code A but the first 2 losses came right after he got off a plane and had just gotten to Korea. And the other 4 losses came to Lucky who most consider to have a top 2 ZvP in Korea.


WTF since when was Lucky considered to have a TOP 2 ZvP in Kr??

I have a question. Why is Huk in these up & down matches while Idra is not? I thought they both lost in the first round of Code A last season. Did Idra decide not to participate...or am I misunderstanding something about the GSL format?

Since it became convenient to excuse Naniwa's poor play in Code A.

huk got seeded to code s up and down by an out-of-gsl seed

but idra fell out of code s into code a. then he fell out of code a, into code b. so hes out of gsl

Code S STACKED like always. Maybe with a few particular players out (COUGH, INCA) whose high APM is marred by some of the simplest platinum level mistakes in management, maybe I'll have a reason to buy a HQ ticket this season...

I can only dream..

I'm realy happy that Polt got a seed, he's such a great player and realy belongs into code S.
I hope he'll show some good results in code S! :-)

You know, Naniwa was on the exact same flight as NesTea to MLG... and they both live in the same city in korea (as you know)..... so that is such a false fact why NesTea would lose to Nani.

Some people adept to that kind of stuff way better then others tough.

2nd at Providence. He had basically earned a spot, and was going to get one, when GSL pulled it for his probe rush and announced that their format had changed and he had not been given the spot at all. It was basically a 1 season suspension for Naniwa.

This. I'm the only person who is normal after a plane flight. Everyone else in my family is dead exhausted, even my friends are the same way. I can get off a plane and am ready to go, most people can't.

Even so, jet lag is part of an international gamer's hurdles, and one that can't deal with it, won't be effective internationally.

Because when you're the best you make a hell of a lot more money than Stephano has.

Stephano has also been around the game a lot less time, as far as I know, than the other tip top winners (MMA, MC, MVP, who were all names to watch from the beginning.)

Singularity is at hand...

He's been playing for a long time, but became full-time after MMA/MC/MVP.
