For people asking about Stephano, he'll have Code S the moment he wants it. 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.

It will be a sad day indeed when we have a PvP Code S Finals. That awful Code A final where the 4 gating player won every game was bad enough.

IMO, Naniwa is probably the second best foreign player in the world right now (just behind Stephano), so I'm fine with him getting the spot.

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.
Mutation complete.

You can't do that, this is a serious competition.

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.

Some of you forgot to mention that in addition to Nvp, Nestea and Leenock, NaNiWa also beat DongRaeGu in a best of 3.

What is GOMs justification for Naniwa being up there I wonder? "We acknowledge we f'd up," or what?

Glad it happened though, I feel he was sorely cheated last season.

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

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's strange, everytime there is e-sports drama going on, I always see someone post this:

I'm not even a _____ fan, but I agree/disagree with whatever is going on.

wouldnt worry about it too much. Another quick 0-2 into code A into a 0-2 into Code irrelevant.
But boy that one day when he plays, GOM TV is going to have a lot of bandwith usage.

think of how many more season tickets they might sell just for including him. That's basically the point. They don't really care how he does. They would fucking love for him to keep winning because that would mean he would be around for more seasons and generate more revenue but they arent inviting him with the idea that he's going to be a Code S champion. A lot of people are doubting him, as have I at times, but sc2 is volatile enough that Naniwa might just surprise us all and end up winning some series or at least making them close. I wish him the best of luck. This is a great opportunity for him


Yes, I understand that having a controversial white face in GSL is a huge marketing move and is pretty smart on their part.
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

I'm just PRAYING Naniwa wins a televised GSL game, but tbh I don't think it'll happen.
