Official statement by Snowbird: The brackets that were up for like 1min were not correct. There will be adjustments because of schedule conflicts of some players (MLG, Dreamhack). We will most likely post a final version of the brackets tomorrow. | ||

I may not agree with Code S seeds, id much rather se Up and Down seeds all the way. requires preformance to enter Code S will still be giving them 2 chances before falling out. | ||

I like Mvp's group, apart from having to teamkill Happy. Hopefully those two groups stay the same  I don't like MarineKing's group, 2 zergs, and Parting. Please change that | ||

And Thorzain is the right pick due to his win vs. Polt at Dreamhack. All in all, the 100% right choices with Stephano not being able to do Code S till Season 4. heh i would say violet has prob gotten even better then double what he used to be when he was in code s before. At least a lot of his unique style of playing has become more solidified rather then what it used to be which was a bit gimmicky at times. | ||

Its the MOST STACKED GROUP. It would be interesting to see who can make it out of that group. (Parting,Symbol,Yugioh,MKP).XD | ||

Line was the underdog against all his opponents, but he just kept winning. He took out Jinro, Kyrix and NaDa before finally falling to TOP in an epic series 2-3. | ||

If so, then the seed will probably go to NightEnd like rumored and we'll see probably a 50+ page thread on how this is the worst decision in the history of e-sports. Makes sense to me. All of the constant whine about seeds is getting annoying btw. It's the monthly (both when announced and when speculating who gets the next time) time the forums are filled with crap and people forget that GoM doesn't give a damn about making a tournament with the 32 best players but that they are actually running a business. Having seeded foreigners in there means they simply sell a lot more season tickets; especially if they start to do well. I feel the reason that most seeds got elimininated so quickly was either due to back luck (Polt 0-2 in the Group of Death) or simply picking the wrong players (IdrA). + Show Spoiler + who at the time had not won a single series since the NASL 2 finals and got destroyed at WCG by players not just one but two tiers below him If it isn't NightEnd then I'm not sure who they'll pick. I don't see them elevating someone who is already in Code A so my guess would be SaSe? Wouldn't be the most obvious choice but if they need someone in a pinch who has no plans leaving Korea he could be your guy. | ||

That was still old Belshir with what feels like 96 different entrances to your natural (ok, ok, 3) and then of course Metalopolis in TvZ. Can't remember the games close enough to know how well he played but at least the maps did not help. | ||

Could be wrong But yeh I was just sad after seeing his name there, this was one of the last times we saw him in gsl i guess.And yeh I like seeds in general, but I think NightEnd getting one just seems a little weird. Thorzain won dreamhack, violet won MLG, that makes perfect sense. NightEnd is a decent player with no results but so happens to be in Korea, so they hand out a seed to him on a silver platter. I know he's been kicking ass on KR GM ladder, but that hardly qualifies lol. Nothing against NightEnd, he has the coolest voice ever and I'd like to see him succed | ||

He was mysteriously absent from Code A qualifiers and there doesn't seem to be a space for him in Code A already (40 players in it already). Although Violet and Thorzain are far better Code S seeds than Nightend. I heard Nightend was just heading back to Europe so didn't attend. Maybe people spouting more BS though hah =p === Violet back in Code S would be awesome, he deserves it so much if he wants it. | ||
