It's definitely too late announcement but I don't think that's so much of an issue. In tennis tournaments Wild Cards to the main tournament are normal things and nobody is bitching about it.

As for the rationale I'm enthusiastic. Maybe some kind of auto-seeding between OSL and GSL?

Less shooting down GOM and opinion biased whining please, and more waiting for the reason GOMTV will bring out soon
Please act like grownups and wait with throwing mud before you know whats going on.

I guess they settled on today being their last day at the mokdong studio which then would make it really hard to play a wildcard group... somewhere? They most likely want to open their new studio with the new season's Code S matches which makes totally sense to me.

As to why they gave Rain the spot: I think it HAD to be a protoss that receives the seed. This is like the 4th season in a row where we barely have any protoss in code S. Rain being one of the highest ranked protoss in recent times that not yet qualified for the GSL AND him being the current OSL champion are very good reasons for picking him.
If someone would ask me to pick a top protoss to play in their tournament with MC, Parting, Squirte, Creator and sOs already in I would pick Rain in like 99.99% of the cases.

So I feel it was either picking him or some random foreigner - who could still get the other seed.

That's pretty amusing coming from a guy whose name translates to pitchfork :p but yeah, agreed.

Not sure why all the venom on this.. its not like he wouldnt have easily made it out of his group anyway. Why does everyone on the internet need a perfect explanation just for anyone to say some schmoe like Noblesse should get it over Rain...
SC2 isa not about what you did in the last 3 weeks people. A good result lasts 3 MONTHS at least for a player.. stop with this what have you done for me lately crap.

Rain got a Seed because he is undoubtedly one of the best players that wasnt in Code S. DONE


this is like Real Madrid have been given a free ticket to the next round of Champion's League yesterday without playing. oh wait..
Try again, fail better.

This is weird, and he should have played in the group first, just to see if he had won (and then give the seed to a player like.... eh... Noblesse (for yesterday). Or wildcarding it (time is an issue I guess).

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...

Wild Cards are normal thing, what's the issue.

Well, at least he's a better player than someone like Idra or Mana. I'm eagerly awaiting their reasoning.

nothing announced yet but after the up and down spots only 30 Code S spots would have been decided. Rain makes 31 meaning 1 more spot has to be announced

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.
