I am happy for Rain, really, I like him a lot, but that really doesn't seem fare for some players. I don't know. I hope there is a meaningful reason and not just some made up shit in order to make us just forget about it .

Hmm I suspect a more simple reason, perhaps a sponsorship from a company in the SK group? I'm speculating here of course but

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


The bolded text is pretty much irrelevant seeing as a guy with 33% T v Z and on a 9 game losing stream just beat a guy who was 70% Z v T in the U&D's.

Why Rain instead of Yonghwa/MVP/First/vioLet?

You can try to justify it all you want, but none of it is really reasonable.
"GOM Is going to announce their reasoning soon" is what we have at the moment, and the OSL winner speculation is probably my guess.

The best guess is the same reason Rain got seeded in the first place.

I hope they seed Idra again for winning in China over a year ago.

People will complain about anything. Two seeds given out? Well, I should hope it goes to one of the best players already not in Code S and not some straight to code B foreigner

hahahaha IdrA won that recently? shit...i'm not up to date with current events

His other seed was for winning OSL? Didnt realise that - I thought him and (the other kespa player that got seeded) were just given spots for being top ranked in KeSPA.

What i don't get is why they are waiting to release their reasoning. Seems fishy to me:s

You should not get a seed when you are already in the league, it should at most be only for top players that are not already in the GSL.

No no. We'll complain about something.

They've always aimed to give out two seeds to players with notable recent results. Rain has neither a recent competition win or is the best proleague performing player not in Code S.

So if they're going to give out a seed, what's the reason? I think MVP is one of the best players not in Code S. See. Where's his seed? =(

There are more players on Rain's level that have not forfeit Code S spots two days in advance in the past. Don't get me wrong, it's great that Rain got a seed - but it's very weird to give him one when he's already in the Up&Downs. To me, seeding a (very good) player who elected not to play in Code S the season after he was seeded is a bit strange. I'd like to see someone else get a chance - because there is no shortage of good KeSPA players with similar Proleague records to seed into GSL.

They are paying respect to GSL winners from the past... you know

MVP, NesTea, Jjakji, MMA... wait no they arent!

they are giving a seed to a player that is still in the tournament. without the seed he is still in the GSL.

yeah if they are basing this to last years results Mvp/Sniper should get one to

Probably the same reason GOMTV give away seeds before vocalising a reason.

Cause they can

Why not just give Rain Ro8 spot, or spot in the finals, whatever...
I guess competitions is realy not the key thing in Code S, right?
