One of the few seeds I can't disagree with. Pretty sure Rain was forced out by Kespa and is easily one of the best Kespa players who could have made it in anyway unlike some foreigners...
Life is too short to take it seriously.

This better be a really good reason. Rain forfeiting his seed before makes me think he should have to earn it for once, not just take it for granted. Yes he is a great player but that doesnt mean he needs special privileges to get into Code S when so many others play their hearts out and dont make it.

So much this. Pretty much why I'm against seeding in general.

I'm happy about the seed. It's affirmative action for protoss when the next season is going to be HotS. More chances to see the new PvX matchups. Might as well be Rain since he rocketed to popularity with his crazy autumn 2012 run and still has the skill to be relevant (highest ELO and proleague winrate of protosses who weren't already in Code S).

rather have them give it to rain then some shitty foreign player

saying rain dose not deserve code s is stupid he would of made it to code s regardless and the esf vs kespa matches obviously creates more viewers for gom no matter what they say

All of this sounds really shady. I wish there were no seeds when it comes to the gsl. Let the players earn their spot through the gsl please.

Glad Rain got the seed, but the letter from Mr. Chae doesn't seem to be believable.

What other reason can there be? Not for league popularity(inside motive), not for pressure(outside influence), can't see any reason which would suit that. Since he said they can't say some things, so this is clearly an outside influence, I doubt there is no pressure on them, or other sponsorship reasons.
Fuck you Zealously! For the fuck you give to those players.

this sounds to me like they seeded in the OSL champion in return for OSL seeding in the GSL champion for this season

Could anyone tell me..

Will there be 34 players in the Ro32 of GSL 2013 Season 2 Code S?
Or are there players forfeiting that we(or me) don't know about?

I wish all e-sports organizations could be this professional. I mean, it's a hell of a lot more clear than IPL's whole thing. Beside's it's their tournament, in my opinion they can do what they want.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Just when I thought the Rain hype had died down.

What? Chae/GOM telling us they'll tell us why later is so professional? This is hardly being transparent.
