Giving them to foreigners didn't work and KeSPA has had enough time now that their best players are in Code S or will be in the next season or so. For Stephano to play in Code S, Polt had to leave for America. Truly a hero. | ||

 I like the Wild Card group a lot, gives two more players in the stacked Up and Downs the chance to qualify after all. <3 | ||

Gratz Stephano, I'm not a fan of seeds into code S but he deserves it more than most people who have been given one. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + GSL is looking the other way while Scoots agrees to plan all Gom logistical operations for the foreseeable future. It's all coming together. | ||

Since MrChae wanted to give Stephano a seed for a long time, you could argue that Polt beat Bbyong for someone in the Wild Card group instead. I like the Wild Card group a lot, gives two more players in the stacked Up and Downs the chance to qualify after all. <3 Pretty sure the Wild Card group is replacing the free seeds. Foreign players didn't do well with them and made it come off as a joke. KeSPA doesn't need them any more. If Bbyong had beaten Polt, Stephano probably would have had to go to the Up/Downs. | ||

Didnt Naniwa get his code S with them and then get back to back Ro8 or did he get it a different way? I mean most of them did bomb but I would argue the change is because there are no foreigners who are worthy that they havnt invited already. I would say if Stephano still wanted it then he would have one of the wild card seeds in a heartbeat. | ||

He made 2 Ro8 in a row off his seed then went straight to Code B. fortunes change quickly in StarCraft,,. But ya, he got a seed. IIRC at the same time viOlet did. viOlet, Thorzain and Sen all got Code S seeds and then later forfeited U&D. Polt and Rain both got seeds and later forfeited Code S. Is it the GOM curse? | ||

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. | ||

We will be sure that best of the best players go thorough, and foreigners will not be knocked you in first round. | ||

There are so many good players in the up and downs and if you get a tough group you still have a shot to make it through if you're good enough otherwise :D Yup, and it is likely that most of the games in U&D will be played since we now have to determine a 3rd place as well. Think of all the tie breaker possiblilities!!! | ||
