Out of all the foreigners and Code B koreans they could have picked, IDK why they went with Huk. Grubby is a fan favorite although he has had even worse results than Huk recently. Gom can give seeds to whoever they please and they know people will watch Grubby. Huk though, WHY? Out of all foreigners(other than Stephano) I think Scarlett should be the top pick for a seed, Vortix has had good results in tournaments in 2012 as well, give him a chance. Huk had his IPL5 run, that's it. Its unfortunate because neither of them really has a shot of making it out Atm i believe it is impossible for us to know if these people have been asked to or not. It is quite a commitment for someone to be in korea for a longer amount of time, so it is very possible that they have declined a seed.
Other than that, i agree that huk is a bit of a weird pick.

How has Grubby been doing worse than Huk? GOM doesn't hand out random seeds to the best foreigners because they probably don't want to move to Korea even if it's just temporary, it's a huge commitment as you have to stay there for a while if you are in the GSL or just practicing on the Korean server.

Something tells me Polt got Stephano a seed to Code S by dropping out... Also Stephano confirmed for Proleague next round.
Anyways, hoping for the following:
A: MC and Jaedong
B: Squirtle and TaeJa
C: Anyone that isn't Bbyong or First.
D: HerO and Bomber
E: HuK and (Center or NesTea)
honestly DRG and First are the best players in the group.

I understand grubby, but huk is peaking lower than he ever has before, and seemingly has no motivation. Hopefully this motivates him though.
|
Pleeeease Grubby, make it!

Grubby!! :D
Very surprised that so many people voted for group A, I think it's the 3rd hardest group, and D is the hardest by a mile. But I guess it does have the name power.

For everyone wondering why Grubby/Huk, I can only guess it's because Gom wants to do what they can to push more Protoss into Code S. While it wasn't all at the fault of balance or metagame, seeing 2 Protoss make it to the round of 16 was pretty sad. There are no good foreign Terrans. Stephano and Scarlett are deserving of Code S seeds, not up/down. Their options are to not provide seeds, add even more Zergs into the mix, or choose Protoss players. I think it's obvious what their choice was, and you really can't blame them...especially with how popular these two guys are. And honestly, there really aren't many players that are that much better than them.

I know I'm an elitist but I don't want any of these two in code a, let alone code s.

Bbyong took out First in Code A. I wouldnt count him out in that group. It will most likely be two of those three players, though.

As much as I hope they can succeed, I think it'd be a bit of an upset if Grubby or Huk got out of their groups

So much hate for HuK/ Grubby,
Both of them have recent tournament results that back them up. HuK with 13-16 at IPL5, which is regarded as one of the most stacked tournaments in history, there he was beaten by GSL season 4 champion and GSL season 5 champion, but one hte way beat a curretn code s semi finalist, and Yoda (Code S terran), HuK also lives in Korea in a team house and can train like a korean if he wants to, last time he did that, he was Code S top 16. Grubby most recent results have been less good and his seed is probably less justified, but he has still demonstrated great play and has ridiculous experience. Yes, there are probably better players in Code B, but that could be said about most of the players in the Up and Downs, competition is fierce, deal with it. However, anyone who wins their group in an Up and Down 100% deserves code S, and if they don't, then they can prove face to face if they are better than those players who didn't make the Up and Downs. Give them a chance people.....
Now onto the groups themselves. Group A looks awesome!!!! Flash V.s. Jaedong will be absolutely insane!!!! Groups B and E have a lot of potential. Group C and D will be less entertaining but we get to see some favorites dominating (DRG, Hero, Bomber) So it will be fun. Overall, i'm glad i bought my ticket.
Huk Hwaaaiittting!!!
ROFL, Grubby finished SECOND at IEM Singapore, top 8th at HomeStory Cup (he lost to winner) ... how the f*** is Grubby's seed less justified?
No man, Huk won those all american MLG's 2 years ago, hes definitely more worthy of the seed than Grubby. lol
