But he's supposedly shown no interest in going to Korea, and given how good he is where he's at I think its the right call for now. Other than Stephano, is there any other foreigner more deserving than Naniwa? Huk is already in up and downs so prolly cant be seeded for that reason. Nobody else springs to mind, I guess Violet but Naniwa has comprable results and will draw more attention just for being who he is. Does Puma want Code S? Cuz if he does I'd think they'd seed him, maybe the way he left TSL still leaves a bitter taste for some people. Puma canceled his participation to homestory cup 4 in order to participate in code A qualifier. So yes, I think it's safe to assume he really wants it. | ||

Polt is a beast and just came off of an impressive tournament win over Stephano, so there's nothing controversial about his seeding. After these seedings, I would say that aside from arguably Stephano (who doesn't want to go to Korea), Puma is now the best player in the world without a Code S spot. He's always among the top favorites at any tournament he enters, regardless of how many top Korean Code S players he must face. Is there a good reason why he's been snubbed from both the Code S seedings and the up/down's? He's got more impressive results than anyone in the up/down groups other than Leenock, arguably. | ||

I would prefer that the Code S semi-finals be seeded such to avoid the risk of a mirror match finals, if possible. Of course, the only way to do this would be to purposefully make at least one of the semi-finals a mirror match, which sucks. But it would be way better for the size of the live (and streaming) audience that would attend the finals. | ||

Yep, I think so, too. He's one of the few foreigners I'd like to see in Code S, so let's see how he'll finally do... I'd still be surprised if he advanced, though. | ||

I think TvT and ZvZ are both plenty watchable, it's just PvP which is awful. I'm sure eventually we'll get a PvP finals but hopefully not for a while and not often. But when we do you just have to suck it up. | ||

It would be the most watched finals ever though. And not all PvP matches are boring. Also the 4 gate doesn't work great anymore so it couldn't be all bad  | ||

Glad it happened though, I feel he was sorely cheated last season. They didn't F up. They made the right choice now and since he has reacted to it very well he is being given another chance at code S due to results that are near the top in non GSL tourneys. The only people with better ones being people like Puma, and arguably Violet(always performs well outside GSL) and Huk. | ||

It will be even smarter to 'accidentally' seed Naniwa into Nestea's group too. It would definitely generate hype but if they were actually doing stuff like that we probably would have seen IdrA "accidentally" seeded into MMA or MC's group because of the MLG stuff | ||
