EPTThorZain and viOlet possible Code S seeds? - Page 6
| Forum Index > SC2 General |
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. | ||

But then we dun really know whether or not violet rejected the Code S seed. I doubt NightEnd would win a Code S series straight up, he'd have to get some luck. Looking at this leaked (but apparantly wrong) we know that viOlet and ThorZaIN were the first choices for seeds and if either one of them is not in at the new group draw then we know that either one of them declined. | ||

Foreigners = more viewers You appear to be the first one that actually gets it. Having said the pool of possible players is quite small: you're basically required to move to Korea for two months and have had some recent results. Having said that though there are some foreigners that are living in Korea so you could allways fall back on people like ToD or SaSe; having said that though their results are not as high as some foreigners outside of Korea. | ||

I guess that they can't attract the foreigners with they want with a (likely) run in Code A. The amount of money you opt out on in order to go to Korea is still huge. It does make you wonder why they have never given one of those Code A seeds to some of the foreigners living in Korea full time such as ToD or SaSe. Benefit of giving them a seed is that you also don't have the "issue" of players forfeiting the GSL after a single season because they are going home again. | ||

When the BW scene makes a full switch I'm sure we will see A LOT of foreigners constantly in Korea since the spots in all leagues that will be going on combined with the Korean players will to participate in foreign events makes it much easier to balance out the competition. And I'm certain that GomTV will be the first company to take in a lot more foreigners. On May 31 2012 18:30 Die4Ever wrote: I wonder if Puma will ever get a seed... Sorry for my ignorance, but what has PuMa done recently to deserve any sort of seed? (Please don't compare with the foreign players who get invited, because I think GomTV have shown clear intentions to make it easier for players not living in Korea to get a chance to qualify without going through Code B/A.) | ||

No matter what group Thorzain would end up in, he wouldn't be one of the favorites to advance. However a group with something like ZZP would favor him more than having to play a lot of TvT and possibly face the PvT monster that is Squirtle. | ||

Puma's done better internationally than polt (historically, at least). NASL was a bigger tournament than assembly. | ||

Although Polt had a recent hot streak in foreign tournaments with winning Assembly and qualifying for IPL4 and NALS3 (and something else, forgot that). While PuMa has had big foreign results he's never been on such a tear as Polt was that month. | ||
