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


They are when they have no prize money.


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.


There was no extra money for winning, so no extra benefit for taking the game seriously.



He got money for playing all group matches properly, and not throwing games.


He got money for competing. By the time he had to play Nestea there was no competition left. It was wasted time.

Please let's not start this discussion again, it was already done to death back when it happened.


And some dont understand, throwing this game was a stupid decision.

He got money for competing. By the time he had to play Nestea there was no competition left. It was wasted time.


Competing included to play ALL group matches properly. And playing a live streamed showmatch against one of the best zerg players is surely not wasted time, since he went to ladder after the cup anyway.

The huk i saw at this mlg didn't seem a player with a plan. Let's just make 9 gates and cross our fingers.

I really don't get it - does PuMa just not want to play in Korea a la Stephano? I cant see this being the case. I mean, not to hate, but hes much more qualified than nani based on results.


PuMa didn't even play in the preliminaries, thought him and Polt was going to get the Code S spots.

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


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


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?


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.


Like it or not Idra and Sen earned their way into code S back before there was any sort of seeding for code A for anyone. Unlike other foreigners who have been seeded in.

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

If he was able to beat Koreans he could just qualify through Code A like everyone else.


You mean like Coca, a Code S zerg who is top 10 on the korean ladder? Oh wait, he didn't make it through the qualifiers.


Coca has not been Code S nor played in any tourney for a long time, it's not even a good argument. Being in Code S is important to actually being Code S level imo.

But records dont make good games. Today, I'm pretty sure that Nani is in a better shape than Huk, even if Huk has accomplished more than Nani in data.

Code S level means you get in Code S. Naniwa got in code S because of some merits, not just random draw. So, by the rules, he is code S level.

Many players get in code S. No all of them have to be champions of the league.

I thought certain probe events in the past prevents any GSL seeds to be bestowed upon the Naniwa. But nevertheless, congrats and hope he goes far in S.

Naniwa has been in korea for a while, he lives in the Startale house and trains 8+ hours a day. How in the hell is Stephano more similiar to korean players than Naniwa?

MMA got seeded with a 7-6 record in Code A. It's not a very good indicator on whether or not you deserve to be in Code S. Naniwa is 0-6 in Code A but the first 2 losses came right after he got off a plane and had just gotten to Korea. And the other 4 losses came to Lucky who most consider to have a top 2 ZvP in Korea.
