Looking forward to seeing Stephano, HuK and Grubby play, hope all of them reach RO8 at least :D Yea those foreigners that so far never ever qualified through code A and most the time get stomped out of GSL in the same season. Clearly they are taking over. | ||

I miss his streams very much. Edit: I'm pretty sure this means he'll be practicing ZvZ very hardcore. Excellent. *sigh* and this is why GOM gives out seeds unfair to everyone else in Korea working very hard to even qualify for GSL. Not rooting for any of them to fail like some people, but I certainly don't think they deserve to be there unless they actually qualify. Look at Nestea..no seed, fell out of GSL and got right back in through qualifiers. If you are good enough you will get there. Free seeds are a joke. | ||

Nestea lives in Seoul, he can just drive to Code B. It's much more costly to book a flight to Korea to attend to Code B. | ||

tbh though GSL isn't really the sort of thing I would have expected from him, I thought he was in it for the money, foreign tournaments would make more sense. It could be that EG are paying him to go to make it worth his while? | ||

It could be that EG are paying him to go to make it worth his while? Since he accepted salary from EG, that is all that would be required for them to ask him to go. He is now an employee of EG and has to do what they ask or risk violating his contract. So in short yes, he is being paid to go in form of his salary. | ||

Oh, wait... that's probably not the case. Must be Stephanos bad ZvZ... I mean, Snute did 4-0 Symbol, so yeah, Steph might not be so bad afterall (I think I remember 2-3 vs Snute? not so bad then :D) | ||

You mean when he didn't advance from the group stage? http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2011_GSL_Blizzard_Cup It must be that I'm confused on what tournament we're talking about, because in this one, Stephano didn't do well. He got second to last in his group. I wouldn't be surprised to see more of the same in Code S, but we'll see. | ||

It could be that EG are paying him to go to make it worth his while? I'm pretty sure no one said that and we've of course seen him play a bunch of Code S caliber players over the past year so we know he's on their level (except his zvz is still generally shit). If he can avoid a group with Taeja, Life, Leenock, Hyun or Sniper in it I like his chances to advance. Also when Stephano focuses he's definitely one of the best zergs in the world. | ||
