What was the big thing that made them seed Rain?
No new updates AFAIK. My assumption is we will hear something this week.

GOMTV chose Rain over MVP is not only stupid, but also brutally stupid. I won't buy the season ticket if so although i've purchased every single GSL till now. Oh wait, I've already purchased the next season. Damn, then I'll just boycott the next one.

Nothing else makes sense so it is this. Yea, that sounds reasonable. Would also explain, why thay can't announce it yet as the OSL isn't officially announced so far afaik.

Maybe they'll announce the next OSL at MLG?

Doesn't make much sense to seed in a player that was just knocked out. Especially not when they are rewarding streaks.

Thing is that kind of already happened with MC. Got a seed right after he got knocked out of GSL (By sniper, i believe!)
He did place highly at some international tournament in order to receive that seed though.

Rain got one and in hindsight he makes much less sense than Mvp, though we will see what the official statement is.

IIRC, the seed was a predetermined prize from that tournament. It wasn't gom's call.

Doesn't make much sense to seed in a player that was just knocked out. Especially not when they are rewarding streaks. then again, MVP is the best WoL player and Rain is some kespa dude that had an impressive run when he first switched to sc2 and then hasn't done much in a while. Rain also already got a Code S seed before, then forfeited his matches and got owned in Code A. not sure how that makes him the best choice for another seed.
also, HotS is a different game and MVP has already shown he's pretty good at HotS with his LG-IEM performance. just saying. i understand why MVP is not a perfect choice, but he's a much better one than Rain imo.

Woah calm down.... not done much since then? Since Rain got the seed he:
- won the OSL - won WCS Asia - 3rd placed in said GSL - 3rd placed WCS world finals - flew to MLG, fought through the Open bracket to a 5th place finish - been performing very well in Proleague

That's the impressive run he is speaking about. Last one was on october, almost 5 months ago.

So in the end, they didnt said a reason for his seed? I mean, nvm, he deserved it probably, but it would be nice to know.
