Poor Youngwha.
Win WCG Korea and no seed.

Considering that Soo beat Baby and Flash and is in the semi finals , maybe he was a better choice if they took MvP results as a justification for the code s seeds .

Props for the superquick upload! If the MvP tourney showed us anything then Baby might have a chance to get ro16
|
So much effort put into this table :-D!
|
I really want naniwa to get back into Code S - he has a bad run for awhile, but he's easily the best foreigner out there, far more deserving of the seed than baby or soulkey, and just SO creative. Who else can I copy builds and playstyle of?

T_T I still think it's more meaningful than MvP standings.
Looking forward to seeing baby play tho.

I hope yongwha gets a code A seed at the very least :< Still, good to see soulkey and baby get a seed, two of the more interesting players for sure.

Korean Starleague coming up it seems :/
Hopefully some foreigners will get Code A seeds, though I highly doubt it ...

Whoever does the names/races always messes this up. Can't remember a season where this wasn't all messy at the end of up&downs
|
Christ, that table is even worse on the second viewing. >_<
Ah well, I thought GOM would be more careful with their seeds after Jaedong disappointed as strongly as he did last time, but should be fun anyway. Not the seeds I wanted, and I don't agree with the pick of Baby, but what can you do...

Now that GOM has given seeds to kespa players twice in a row, I can only think of 2 posiblities: a) there is some agreement with kespa to give seeds to their players for X amount of time, or b) GOM is running out of players to give seeds to. The Code S seeds were supposed to reward players that have good performances on foreign tournaments, but perhaps seeing how few foreigners are willing to go to korea and play in the GSL, they are stretching it. Honestly, in MvP invitational the kespa players had it easy since most of their opponents were foreigners, I'm not sure I agree if they really did use that tournament as the basis for the seeds this season.

I'm leaning towards it was part of their agreement to seed Kespa players for a certain amount of time, maybe only 2012 S4 and S5, maybe longer.

c) GOM wants more Kespa fans to watch GSL. The UnD counters the Kespa players so hard that the only way to get them to Code S is by giving them seeds.

Yeah, seems quite obvious that this was part of initial Kespa/GOM/ESF agreement. But they are not bad choices. I think they both have the nessecary skill to be in Code S and with their performance in the Invitational they deserved the spot. Soo would have been another candidate, but SKT already had a slot with Rain last season (though Baby/JD are same team too).

Well. Stephano, Nerchio probably, maybe Nani (depending on which Nani shows up to matches + he would need to not get good zerg opponents) and that's probably it. There are of course some more names, who could take games and/or get a lucky run depending on a lot of things, but only those three I would be willing to bet on against Koreans.
But tbh, I am more glad to see KESPA seeds, than foreign seeds
