Perhaps, but seeing how 4 of them ran their way from code A to code S in a season, I don't think they really have that much problems.
On another note, players I would like to see them with a code S seeds for future season:
*Stephano, because he's Stephano and wins everything.
*Nerchio, who recently won a Dreamhack, and it is just rock solid.
*Alicia, 2nd place in both MLG arena and NASL.
*Sase, and that one I'm stretching it. While he has not won anything, he has shown good performance in past months.

Not terrible choices, and done on merit at least, but bah, feels like it should have been Yongwha (GSTL dominance and WCG Korea>>>>>>MvP results imo) and even Stephano getting in would have been fun.

Nestea and Teaja have transformed to NesTeaJa!

More deserved seeds.... Not

He is only there to practice for a bit, im sure he got one, but declined. They know the power he has to draw viewers and would jump at the chance to have him if he would ever do it... He has been quoted as saying he has no interest in it currently, too little money for so much time, when he could go out and win 3 foreign tourneys...

Code A qualifiers for S5 haven't happened yet, they are going to be on Nov 11th and 12th according to Liquipedia. It's possible that a foreigner will make it through them.

Stephano has been offered seeds ever since season 2 of 2012 as far as we know and he declined every time. Nerchio also got offered Code S seeds for last season iirc but he also declined. Alicia has been incredibly off and on with his performance and should therefor not be considered a Code S caliber player and SaSe already received two Code A seeds in the past where he lost 0-2 in the first round both times..

Stephano has declined every seed they offered, Nerchio would probably never take a seed either. Alicia performed well in foreign tournaments, but that's been a while ago, if at all, he should have been seeded for last season and that coincided with the switch of the KeSPA players and all the drama so GOM was bound to give all the seeds for that season to KeSPA players. Now you couldn't justify an Alicia seed, not even close.
SaSe, yeah, that's kinda stretching it, only thing he has going for him is that he lives in Korea. Also, as Fragile51 said, he already failed to do well a bunch of times with Code A seeds.

They could throw a bone to MLG and give a seed to the winner of the MLGvProleague invitational thing. I wouldn't mind seeing for instance Soulkey get a seed, he's really good.
I'm so smart. ^_^

Those are some pretty good choices. I'm happy with that. Soulkey will go deep for sure.

Stayed in Code S for 2 seasons, reached the ro8 twice, and then dropped out of GSL entirely? :< Still a monumentous achievement, don't get me wrong..but i don't think SaSe would do as well.
