I guess this is the season for second chances, if only CoCa had qualified.

I think Naniwa will at least make it past his first round as long as he doesn't face DRG.

Great move by gom. Polt and Nani in Code S is big and good news for sure. Only thing now really seems that there is a lack of Zergs compared to the other races. Step it up a notch Swarmboys!

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.


Naniwa is the most consistent Korean killer of all the foreigners, even if he did terrible in Code A in the past.

Naniwa beat Nestea in 3/3 series, MVP in 1/1, and Leenock in 1/2. Those Koreans are no slouches and beating them proves he's the toughest foreigner. His results against Koreans is better than even Stephano and Huk.


As loathe as I am to admit it, Huk is the most consistent Korean killer of all the foreigners.

I just don't like that you can get absolutely destroyed over and over again in the GSL and then on the back of a good weekend where you win two 2-1 series at another event you somehow get promoted to Code S.


Huk hasn't been that consistent lately and lost to Terious in Code A while Naniwa showed us he's still got it in his series against Nestea and Leenock.


Right, so it's bad for one player to drop out of Code A but it's fine for another to have never even won a map in it...

Huk did also beat Oz 2-0, who's arguably the best player of that trio right now (it was PvP though =p)

Not that I'm advocating a spot for Huk either or anything, I was only argueing that he's much more proven against Korean players in competition than Naniwa.

My main gripe is still the whole doing really badly but ending up seeded into an even higher part of the tournament thing.

I think Puma deserves code S (or at least up and down) more than Naniwa but i guess gomtv wants to get more foreigner viewers

Not really excited at the Naniwa invite.
I really wish GOM would just stop bringing foreigners in, they're basically just a freewin for code s koreans and it's always really uninteresting. :c

Isn´t the group choosing in the second group stage now, while the first is selected randomly (With 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th seeds)?

That was many months ago though, Naniwa has clearly improved since then. He has Nestea's number and Nestea has been in every Code S ever, the most consistent Zerg. Naniwa also beat MVP just after his peak period of being the best Terran in the world.

What I find odd is how many foreigners are stagnating but Naniwa keeps improving. He must've figured out the best training method to correct his weaknesses, while other players are just mindlessly training but not correcting their faults.

Finalists of previous season get to choose one member in RO32 e.g. Jjakji chose Sen, Leenock chose Fin last season.
