Yes, there are 20 players in Code S right now. And 10 spots will be granted in the 5 U&D spots. So there are 2 spots remaining for the seeds. Honestly, I would not want Kespa players to get them because they all had a shot at it already. Assuming Stephano doesn't take a seed, since these U&Ds are so stacked, maybe another group play with the 5 players that finish 3rd in these groups. | ||

Yeah that'd be the best solution, didn't think of that. | ||

I hope that EG will have him stay in Korea playing GSL and Proleague. The two (three ?) times he went to Korea to train, he came back stronger. If he stays for several months, he will be sick good. | ||

Actually, I am ok with non 100% random. For example, if they have rules like 1) Can't have 3 members of the same team 2) Can't have 3 Kespa players 3) Can't have 4 of the same race I am actually ok with that. Leagues like champions league etc also have rules about not facing clubs in the same country in Ro16, etc. Of course, if they proposedly place JD and Flash in same group. Or make some groups 'weaker' on purpose, that would not be ok. | ||

As far as the foreign seeds go, I don't understand. Grubby, maybe, but Huk hasn't done anything remotely impressive lately. There are many other foreigners more worthy of a seed than him. | ||

Other two are still staging the groups to benefit players and/or their organizations, and other players can still get shafted in the process. | ||

I'm sure if he didn't get a seed, he would try to qualify, and it would seem a bit unfair if someone else got a free ticket ahead of him. | ||

TLO made it to the final round of Code B and went out 1-2. In terms of gameplay AND results in the qualifiers, he deserves the seed more. Not saying he should get it. IMO nobody should get any seeds. | ||

You can't realistically draw any conclusion on groups being random or not from this sample size. I highly doubt they're intentionally giving anyone an easy group. | ||

I think C has the most players who could make good runs at the GSL title, but D is overall the hardest group, especially if you play Protoss. Grubby got a really hard group, Huk's is easier but I don't think he can make it out either, it's the easiest group but there a still a lot of good players in it, finale is probably MVPs best Protoss, Nestea is the king of the universe and Fantasy and Flying are regulars in pro-league even though their team's lineups are stronger than EG-TL. | ||

Well, if you want to get technical, even the race rule can play a factor in the 'fairness'. Say a Protoss is really good in PvP. Would it be 'fair' that just because of the rule, he can't get 3 other Ps in his group? At the end of the day, since each group has 6 players, the rules don't really play a huge role. It is actually more 'fair' this way. Let's say IM had 4 players in a group. And the 3 others all lost to Nestea, there would be 'theories' on how IM did it on 'purpose' so Nestea could get into Code S. | ||
