Not the seeds I wanted, and I don't agree with the pick of Baby, but what can you do... Jaedong was close in two of the series. Against MC: 1. He was about to win the first game (the first VOD is free of his game I think). He over extended a few times and ended up losing a huge advantage. Even though he lost, the game showed he had the capabilities to match with MC and win it. 2. Second Game - He was preparing a huge roach drop but ended up splitting his army in half against MC. MC attacked while most of his roaches were in overlords. If he had his army together, the game would have been different (the game wouldn't have ended for him there). Same as above - MC didn't sweep him easily in the series. Jaedong showed he was Code S material. Against MKP: 1. First game did well and won. 2. Second game got cheesed and almost defended it. 3. It ended up being a base race and "AGAIN", he "almost" won >.<. Jaedong had bad luck IMO. He almost won in all the games but ended up losing. | ||

I mean if they seeded him 1 season later, it wouldn't look this bad, but now... Like foreigners getting Code S seed and Naniwa himself even stating it's unfair, it's something that has to be done to keep viewers and to stay competitive. If it weren't for the whole KeSPA vs ESF thing (or KeSPA going into SC2), I wouldn't even bother watching GSL (except maybe the first free matches of Ro4 and the Grand Finals). While it may be unfair, it's what needs to be done to sort of keep SC2 and eSports and GSL alive. It helps everyone in the business in a way (if it succeeds and by everyone, I mean people who can manage to stay relevant). Obviously if there was less competition, that'd be good for people who are still interested in watching SC2. But if there was less competition, there might be less viewers too which means the scene may be more fragile. Of course a lot of this is just theory crafting. As for whether Baby is more Code S material than Bomber? Since it seems they picked him because he's doing well in the MvP tournament, that's fair (in the sense that if they were giving KeSPA players, and only KeSPA players, seeds, they're basing it off of something at least). If they kept picking Bisu, Stork, Jaedong, or Flash (regardless of their results), then that'd be unfair to the players and if they end up not doing well, viewer hype for KeSPA players also goes down. | ||

Roro, Hyun, Soulkey, Creator, Bogus and.... Keen! And people wonder why Stephano dodges Code S  + Show Spoiler + Yes I know, long way to travel and too little prize money for the amount of time/dedication etc etc Say what you say about Naniwa, I ain't got nothing but praise for him as a player. He is proof that with determination and practise in the right environment you can compete at the highest level (GSL Code S). | ||
