Makes sense I suppose, just sucks for Marineking when he deserves a seed more than Nestea and MC do. ( imo )
Sorry, beating easy foreigners like Stephano is not equal to GSL champion
And when was the last time Nestea and MC were GSL champions?
All I'm saying is that current performance wise he deserves it more.
Maybe you can make that argument for Nestea, but would you really say MC has had worse results than MKP? Arguably MC is the most successful SC2 progamer to date.
Besides, what is your expectations of "performance"?
Recent victories? Alicia beat MKP in the last MLG. Squirtle doing super well lately. Consistency? Nestea hasn't missed a Code S. Victories? Violet has more. Victories at a high level of competition? MMA might be a better shot.
I'm not one of those MKP anti-fans, but without qualm I can make as much of an argument for 5 other players in SC2 based on "recent performances".
I believe MKP should be able to qualify regardless given his group.
They picked three players one for each race with each player being the most successful with their race + drg. Good way to do it since a lot of players have been doing well lately so it's hard to just chose 1 for each race.

If its like previous OSLs Top 4 are seeded in Ro16 and Top 16 in Round of 32 , but since half of the qualifiers is non Kespa players , Top 16 from this season will probably not get a seed . And there will be 12 groups with 12 people able to qualify . Also probably to make it equal with non Kespa players , Flash , Zero , Jangbi and winner of Fantasy/Soo will be seeded in Round of 32 and not Round of 16 , but don't it's OGN's call .

Against Naniwa specifically? Well most of the strongest in the group are terran, so perhaps not. But still, you can never write out Heart, MMA and Ganzi against Naniwa.
More specifically: the group also has Seed and Manzenith. MMA and Ganzi are probably the two "big fish", but honestly Seed and Manzenith have been playing really well lately. I think Naniwa's biggest challenge will be, aside from zergs, those two protoss players.
Naniwa has a pretty big chance to pass through the group though. He might indeed be the favourite.

There are a lot of players registered so they're all in spoilers. As far as I know they work like a normal bracket following the seeding. I'm not 100% on the names of all these teamless people, the font is really small in the picture Blank spots are byes.
All groups play on the july 2nd looks like, with groups A-F starting at 01:30 GMT (+00:00) and G-L 06:00 GMT (+00:00)

Well I'll make an attempt at some predictions, even though it's a nigh impossible task with this many people.
Group A: Seed. It was between Seed, Naniwa, and MMA for me. The good news for Naniwa is there are only five zergs in this group. Also MMA has been slumping and d Terrans in general are really having a tough time. Naniwa has a great chance to take it but for now, I'll bet on the more well rounded Korean protoss.
Group B: Squirtle. This group is scary but there's not much to say. I think Squirtle seems less streaky than Symbol so I picked Squirtle.
Group C: MKP. Doubt all you want haters, but the bigger the group the better MKP's chances and even though there's some scary names like Alicia, Bomber, and Polt in here, this is the time of the King and he will conquer this group of death.
Group D: Genius... Though to be honest this isn't an aweful group for TLO. In fact, in terms of favorites here it's gotta go Genius, then Happy, then TLO. That's pretty awesome. Also, Cyrano being in this group is kind of hilarious. The poor bastard is memorable for me because every time I see him he plays against a foreigner and loses. I fully expect this trend to continue.
Group E: July. Fuck it. If it was any other month I'd say Leenock. In fact the smart money is on Leenock. But betting against the God of War in his hour? No sir, I won't do that.
Group F: Violet I think... Hero and Ryung have good chances of course, and NOBODY in this group has constency going for them, but... No actually it'll be Hero. Violet has been having difficulty with very skilled protoss and there's several of them in this group. Hero has been playing quite well lately, plus the liquid advantage. Hero takes this group.
Group G: Losira. This is the summer of the swarm and I just can't pick a Terran, even a GSL champ, to take out this group. Losira has been playing very well lately and I can't say the same for Jjakji by comparison.
Group H: No idea. Line has been slumping. Gumiho is terran and there are some rough zergs here, Zenio hasn't been looking like anything special. Sage could take it I suppose but really it's anyone's group.
Group I: That is a rough group for the Gorilla Terran. I'd say Alive has the best shot at winning it but there is A LOT of talent here. Kinda funny that an EG/Liquid match will happen in the OSL qualifiers. I think Jinro could beat JYP there, JYP's v T hasn't been that impressive lately. Coca and B4 have good chances here as well and of course supernova. This is a rough group.
Group J: Keen is the only pick that actually makes sense here I think.
Group K: Byul. This is the Summer of the Swarm and his performance in the GSTL makes me think he can take this group. Parting and Puzzle will give him a run for his money, but Byul is on the rise.
Group L: EG vs Liquid round two! I wouldn't be surprised if Puma underperforms here slightly as he probably isn't practicing a lot of TvT as he is the last terran left in NASL which he'll be practicing for. Taeja on the other hand has great TvT. I wasn't certain about his teammate Hero, but I am pretty confident that Taeja will take this group by storm.
