Come on, these are the first seeds given to Kespa. Those are more for announcement than for rewarding the more deserving players. I'm definitely more excited to see Jeadong in code S than Roro and Jaedong is not ten time worse than Roro. Even if it was the case, next season Roro will be in code S and Jeadong in code A

Get Code A and Jaedong gets Code S

Obviously Jaedong is wildly more popular, and this is going to make this season the greatest ever, but I feel bad for Roro.

Bison deserves his spot. He has been the best player in Proleague, is OSL (1-0 over MKP), and was the second best placing KeSPA player during WCS Korea.


this, totally unfair.


Umm, no, not totally unfair? If they were just doing it on personality they could have invited Flash and Oov to Code S. I'm sure that would give them a lot more attention. They've done it because they think those are the best players. Kespa actually has no incentive to do it based on popularity because they should reserve the more popular players for their own leagues (OSL and SPL). I doubt this has anything to do with popularity.


Roro is undisputably currently more accompolished in SC2 than Jaedong. Why is JD in Code S and Roro in Code A?


Also, if you think any SC2 tournament in the world wouldn't die to have Jaedong or Bisu play in it, I'm fairly sure you are mistaken. These guys have a lot of fans.
Why did Idra get seeded directly into Code S? Because he would bring in viewers. GOM Tv is being smart here, they picked the best of the top 4 famous Koreans to get more foreign eyeballs.

Jaedong in code S. Omg, the day has come.

However, I feel Effort has a lot more chance in code S at this moment than Jaedong. Nontheless, it's still great.


Naniwa vs Jaedong in the finals :D
Mess with the best, die like the rest.

Jaedong literally has no edge over Roro results wise.

WCS Korea: Roro (4), Jaedong (16)
Proleague: Roro (8-6), Jaedong (10-9)
OSL: Neither qualified
Fangirls: Roro (3), Jaedong (456,245)


In terms of fangirls, Jaedong definitely deserves Code S more

Sucks for Roro. Seeing as I like Jaedong more than Roro, I will enjoy him in Code S and can't wait to see who he faces, but I feel like Roro would have a better chance of actually getting far.


Unless death stare

Anyway; I guess it's fair to judge ace matches as more important. I guess KeSPA might know best in this case.

Ah, if only they had decided this sooner they could have given up and down seeds too. I hope for Jaedong and Sun that they get to play in the groups two weeks from now, since as we all know just two weeks is a lot for allowing KeSPA players to improve.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

Hopefully its not Mana.. He says korean zergs are easy.. but JD is using euro zerg style.

Edit:
Scratch That. Mana and JD cannot play each other in first round groups.

There seems to be some discussion going on about who deserves the seed based on some obviously flawed metric such as esults.

I have one thing to say to that

JJAEEEEDONNNGG IS IN CODE S !

Jaedong and Sun both have playoffs this week. I can see KeSPA asking if they can make it so they play in two weeks instead of next week.

My sentiments exactly..

I love JD, but RorO has ben the one who's impressed me the most out of the KeSPA players.

Sensible seeding on the whole. Bit sad they didn't give one for a Kespa T though.

Expected Jaedong since he's way too popular not to have, even if his ability isn't really the highest amongst his fellow players.

I did think that Sun might get passed over for Roro due to his crazy schedule, but I guess he's going to be MC levels of busy for the next few months (albeit without all that presidential jet-setting).

Nice to see Shy and Trap getting some recognition for their PL performances.

Ro32 doesn't have group selection.

You will know Sun/Jaedong's groups by Friday/Saturday. The games start on Monday, so you will know the groups by then.

The seeds have nothing to do with popularity, afaik KeSPA used their proleague rankings (not exactly sure how they work)

A reddit user (rbcd) posted this:

Proleague Ranking

Code S:
Rain - 13-6, 7 ace match wins = 495
JaeDong 10-9, 6 ace match wins = 390

Code A:
Trap =11-4, 3 ace match wins = 375
RoRo = 9-6, 3 ace match wins = 315
Effort = 9-8, 3 ace match wins = 315
Shy 9-2 = 270

Barely Missed the cut:
Hero 8-5, 2 ace match wins = 270
Stork 8-3, 1 ace match win = 255
Soulkey 7-7, 1 ace match win = 225
Stats 6-2, 2 ace match wins = 210
