Polt deserves it by a landslide, Naniwa on the other hand...

Even if he did deserve it, I'm surprised they let him in this quickly simply because of his recent probe rushing shennanigans.

I wished the seed was given to CoCa instead since he'll last longer than both of them

I think they kinda rushed it with the TaeJa notation and felt it was best to just delete it.

1. Banning nani based on probe rushing a meaningless game was moronic, they realized it.

2. The ONLY foreigner to have beaten both Mvp and Nestea in Bo3 series multiple times, as well as many other high level wins.

Literally could not have made a better choice for a seed than nani, he is clearly the most impressive foreigner.

Naniwa had no "run" at the MLG Providence. He had a high seed and had only to play a few games until the final.

He beat MVP due to extreme greedyness play, going like Nexus first, 1 gate robo, which only work like one time.

When Naniwa is a "korean killer", then he is the "losing to random koreans loser" too, due to his 1-12 record in GSL.

1. Banning nani based on probe rushing a meaningless game was moronic, they realized it.


No, it wasnt. With this logic, every showmatch is meanlingless and is supposed to be a "probe rush game".

And has 8% (1-12) win ratio in GSL.

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.


Yeahhh Stephano is good and all but he is over rated at the moment. His strats are very basic and against Koreans I highly doubt he would be able to pull, what he does, off.

As for HuK, I wish he would switch to Terran because I know for a fact that his style of play would be absolutely amazing to watch if he played Terran. I think he'd win more games/tourneys if he was Terran as well.

Back to your point, yeah Naniwa is beast, no matter how socially awkward he is. It is kind of hard to watch him in his interviews.

This "oh you're not from korea you get in for free" stuff is pathetic. I'd like people to prove they're able to compete in Code A and the qualifiers before they get to play in Code S.

It's clearly a business decision to seed foreigner(s) into code A/S, GSL gets a lot more viewers when there are foreigners fighting!

I do hope naniwa gives us the same stellar performance as last time.

it'd at least be hilarious.

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.

It was half a year ago that Naniwa had problems against Lucky in Code A. Much has changed since then, and giving him another chance doesn't seem that unreasonable, with being a top 3 foreigner and all.


It's unreasonable because he won 2 games vs Korean Zergs finished 8th in a tournament and that's enough to make Code S?

It's absolutely absurd.

Violet finished higher than Naniwa at Arena, he beat more good players, he won IEM Sao Paolo and did well at IEM World Championships and Homestory but barely anyone is suggesting he deserves Code S.

You'll get what you want anyway, Naniwa will go 0-4 and head straight back to Code A and then Code B as planned.


You seem very incapable of understanding that the reasons Nani got seeded for Season 1, still exists. If he was eligible for a seed before, he surely still is. What is so hard to understand?

Maybe. It still waters down the competitive aspect. It's like seeding China into the World Cup every time because it increases viewership.

And has 8% (1-12) win ratio in GSL.



So freaking what he has that old record? He could have 0-100 win ration if he can constantly beat top koreans now.

When was the last time there was the best acknowledged foreigner in the GSL not just some foreigners like idra,sen,morrow,huk to fill the spots? If Stephano was up there with Naniwa we would have the best representation ever of the foreign scene. Stop with the hating and root for the best there is at this moment.

People hang on some loses and the freaking probe rush like he murdered their families.
Mess with the best, die like the rest.
