best foreigners? you mean Stephano or Naniwa? no one else from the foreigners is that much better as Grubby.
as huk was a very long code S player and always beat so many koreans in mlg etc he is one of the best calling him mid tier is a bad joke. grubby gets better and better and deserves a spot
there is only scarlett snute stephano who comes in my mind which are better foreigns and they are not in korea so ...
Grubby is currently in the top 10 foreigners imo. He's improving a lot but it's hard to say if he's like top 5 or more 5~10. But I do think he's currently a bit better than HuK (though he can still win games against good players).
They both have good chances to win some matches, I think maybe more than 50% to win at least one, but yes, this will be hard to get out of their group (5% chance maybe?).

HuK hasn't done anything in a long time. His last MLG run had no Code A/S koreans in it, he lost to an australian zerg and an european toss. At IPL he beat Ryung aka TvP is my worst nightmare and got BO wins vs YoDa. Those are the only thing HuK accomplished in the last months. Not really much to justify a seed imo
To be fair, Grubby did put up some results lately, like making the finals of IEM Singapore after beating some koreans including MC, though I do understand the criticism about the picks. Also Flash vs JD sick!
I'm really interested in who is getting the code S seeds... Rain and hero(CJ) should be code s material and so far there are only 2 protoss out of the 20 spots that are already taken. Artificially filling code S with more protoss to make it more interesting wouldn't be a bad idea if the racial distribution is as imbalanced as it is for the next season. I don't see any foreigner taking the spot as there are none worthy of code S besides stephano who is, most likely, refusing to take it anyway. Another contender could be Soulkey who also performed very well recently.
Oh look, we've got another group of death, when will GOM quit using antiquated group systems for the up and downs and switch to a Swiss system, which is designed exactly for this sort of thing

It would be really strange if Rain got a Code S seed right after getting knocked out in Ro48 of Code A.

Additionally, Rain took MLG over GSL last season so he's never going to get a seed. At least not for this season and I highly doubt if he'll get it in a later season.
Grubby I am alright with but why give HuK a seed?!? The guy had numerous chances in the GSL in previous, easier seasons and hasnt given any indication that he's improved. Would have much rather seen some of the foreign Zergs or god forbid a Terran (Major/Lucifron) grab a seed ~_~

Would you be so kind to explain that swiss system?
