So, he got price money for it. This would make sense, except for the fact that it wasn't a show match. Of course it was a showmatch. | ||

No, I mean like those who made it through Code A. That's why I wrote "qualify through Code A ", because I meant qualifying through Code A. It's actually not that hard to understand. | ||

Like it or not, at least HuK had proven he was Code S worthy of multiple season after a Code A invite and definitely shouldn't be lumped in with IdrA/Morrow who lost all games after being seeded in Code S/Up and Down. Sen won some games too, and has consistently proven himself to be a top class foreigner. I don't think you can definitively say that Nani or Stephano are far enough ahead of HuK or Sen based off of records. | ||

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing Naniwa for accepting an invite, that's absolutely the right thing to do. I'm criticizing GOM for handing out invites to people based on nationality. (And no, not like every other foreigner. Like the ones who qualified through Code A. Am I speaking chinese or something?) | ||

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. Naniwa says himself he don't think he deserves it. The reasoning from GOM is pretty obvious though, they want a piece of the foreign market. There probably is a few koreans out there who deserves it more but thats not really the point. They want to bring in money from the foreigner fanbase and the best way to do that is to bring in big foreign names. About the Nani vs HuK, I wont get in to who's the most accomplished player but HuK had the seed last season and did not get good results. Droppong from code S to code A and code B and then get a ticket right back to code S would be a bit wierd. He will probably be up for consideration for season 3 though. Btw, I'm reallly glad GOM let go of the Blizzard Cup insident and gave Nani a seed. Although I'm sure they would have picked another foreigner if they actually had a plausible option. | ||
