This is also very relevant to the question of whether any foreigner is "deserving" of a Code S spot. Judged by results outside of Korea, someone like Stephano is a no brainer. But a lot of people think that they only way to prove oneself "worthy" of a Code S spot is to go through Code B and A, which is an unfair metric given that Koreans can take multiple runs at it with no additional cost or sacrifice to themselves, but a foreigner has to sacrifice a tremendous amount just to get ONE shot. The folks running the GSL know what they are doing -- foreigner seeds are a great idea. | ||

He is the only foreigner, who when facing top korean opponents, you actually believe he can realistically beat them. Yes, because Naniwa isn't winning in Code S right now or anything. Lol. | ||

Imagine if AcE cheeses out DRG in his Code A match. Thorzain is good. But if I have the choice, I'll put DRG back in Code S every time. | ||

 The earning curve in code S is overall very strange - it starts quite high, but rises very slowly and then it explodes at the very top. So you get quite a nice money for just being there, but not much from getting to Ro16 for example. | ||

Just make sure we know that the translation isn't entirely accurate when it isn't. | ||

DRG won the recent MLG Arena over arguably better players than the ones Thorzain beat. It's a subjective decision Gom has to make and they're most likely gonna put their champion back in, who is one of the best players in the world consistently. DRG adds more to Code S than ThorZain does, no matter how AcE beats him. At least that's what I'd think if I had to make a decision. | ||
