I think it would make more sense just to have code A foreigner seeds. Regardless, it's good to see Nani and Polt. Good luck to 'em both!
Second favorite strategy game of all time: Starcraft. First: Go (aka Wei Qi, Paduk, or Igo)

Oh fuck yes. So that's why Naniwa said "I won't be participating " in the GSL Code A Qualifiers. I was wondering about that. I figured it was either him wanting to train for another season before trying or that he was seeded somewhere already. I didn't expect it to be into Code S though. However, Naniwa is definitely a Code S level player. He is for sure in the top ten players of the world right now, maybe even top five. I'm not really a super Naniwa fan or anything; this is just the way I see it.

Anyway this is really exciting. Season 2 is gonna be sick.

These statements aren't reaaally compatible. Naniwa is not a top 5 player, no matter how much you spin it.

Yeah, let's see if he's worth the top 32 first.

I don`t like that this decision was made before the Up and Down matches. What if MKP drops out? Yet he won MLG arena defeating a guy who is going to take the free seed(Naniwa) as well as other amazing players(DRG). Seems strange to me.

He would still have been in GSL. Seeds are only giving to people outside of the GSL, right?

Why would Stephano test his skills against the best in the world when he can have $5000 showmatches thrown at him


http://www.sc2earnings.com/

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.)



Nah Stephano's been around forever he just got good later. MVP wasn't playing in beta I don't think, don't think MC was either. MMA became known even later than Stephano.

Hey guys I'm glad there was this much anger when SEN & IDRA got Code S seeds. That was a bigger joke.

He only beat Mvp once...

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.


Man you just don't give up, do you?

Like I already said!
Dreamhack - Only good point you have.
NASL - One single Korean, who was low code A at the time.
IEM WC - Too recent. Get it through your head.
MLG Providence - Losira was code A at the time, and dropped out of it right after.
MLG Orlando - Polt dropped out of code S immediately after, and then out of code A right after that.

So yeah you're completely wrong. And I am completely right in what I said from the start. This is the last of my time I'll waste on you. If you still don't understand why what I said from the start was correct, then you are just too dumb to get it and I can't help you.

While that would be a lot of drama, it would be foolish. Nestea vs Naniwa is an epic battle that should be held later in the tournament. Also, Naniwa has Nestea's number, and every time a player picks a rival instead of the easiest remaining opponent for their group, they lose.

Yup. MC and Keen could advise against that plan.

Naniwa... PLEASE redeem yourself by staying in a round!!! We KNOW you can do it!

Also, thank GOD for the Polt seed. If GOM gave it to anybody else bar Stephano I would feel, as a foreigner, cheap and needy :/
