I really don't understand the reasoning for this..? Why are 2 people just being granted a seed into Code S, is someone pulling out next season? They're still having the wildcard group, or did they just decide to seed 2 random people instead? This seems really pointless and sketchy... The wildcard group was a thing last season only because Polt dropped out and they had some seeds to pass out. They usually don't do it. That said: it looks completely random. Why Rain and not First? Because "Rain is a pretty good Protoss" is pretty illegitimate. I hear MVP is a pretty good terran. I hear Yongwha is a pretty good Protoss. He's the OSL champion, that'll be the reason they end up giving. It's really sketchy though, if they wanted to seed Rain they should have announced it before they released the up & down groups.
yeah probably just the timing is shady, shouldnt have to question rain's ability...

If they're gonna seed him, why bother putting him in an U/D group in the first place? There are 3 groups of hellbats in Stings production tab right now and it still makes more sense than the fact that they invited Rain back. Especially considering why he's in Code A now in the first place.
@Wax...hell yeah it does.

Indeed.

This is terrible PR. I know it might be forced by circumstance, but if you give people time to grow upset with something before the reason can be given, then your reason will have less impact than if you give it from the start.
EDIT: On an unrelated sidenote, I love my current Mutalisk icon! :O

cool ! 
go go Rain ! one of the players that I want to do well

I'm wondering if they just should have had Rain play the U/D anyway. I think it creates more problems doing it like this than it would if Rain somehow lost then they seeded him.
Maybe. That said post U/D loss seeding would look pretty bad also =/
I guess really they should have announced this a week ago. Once again Gom make announcements for everything WAYYYYYY too late. Like Ro48 brackets a day before Ro48 basically resulted in us getting terribad games and 0 hype.
Sorry gom, but you need to pick up your PR act.

Maybe Rain won something that has not yet been broadcasted? Like a HotS Blizzard special event...
Whatever, I trust in GOM for doing the right thing, we just have to be patient

Whoever changed title from SKT1Rain to SKT_Rain, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE YOU!
I was about to strangle NovemberstOrm
However, the perfect title would be SK Telecom T1's Rain

Not even mad, just confused. If this Blizzard thing is the case, why bother using an unannounced ranking system to put him in there when you could of just had him play his up and down match today, it's just Bizzare.
|
However, through a clear explaination in teh future (it is already determined, but it cannot be said now), we will explain (not make an excuse for) Rain's seed
So odd. So there is a reason, but for some reason Mr. Chae won't tell us? This is confusing.

so sick of these seeds. Its the best competition in the world for sc2..stop tarnishing it with this free seed bullshit. And silly me for thinking it was the last of the foreigner welfare..cant wait to see who the other person is...*eye roll* And I agree why not give MVP a seed since he lost his first round and we should all feel bad and hes the most accomplished sc2 player anyway.

I mean let's be serious guys, he probably would have made it through the up/downs. He lost to Flash, so he should have to play in up/downs like everyone else. This is worse than seeding popular foreigners into the GSL from Code B, this is manipulating the tournament structure itself. I really don't get it. Do a wildcard group like you did last season, that was both fair and fun. This is unfair and boring.
You think so? Have to admit I figured him to be one of the weakest in that group (second only to Bbyong), he did have a good run, but that run was as short as it was sweet. Of course this is all just opinion, and this whole 'seeded' situation just seems... odd.

It is SK Telecom T1's Rain, but I guess this title is fine too.
It'll be super interesting to see what the reasoning is. Maybe trying to make sure there's a more diverse number of races for the first season? Who are these others and why can't they be announced yet? O_O
