TRAP - "In 2017, 2018 GSL vs the World, the top 4 players got their seed but in 2019, it changed without notice, where only the best ranked per race is given a seed and 5 players are via the community votes.. With the usual rules, I thought I would obviously get a seed but right now it feels like I’ve been stabbed in the back, Im so angry and in tears that I can’t sleep..with a notice I would have just said it’s unfair but to discover my name in the list to vote was quite a shock.. Because honestly, I know it’s gonna be hard for me to go through the fan votes and it reminds me of a similar case that happened in 2012 when Proleague ran SC1 and SC2 simultaneously. At that time, the 6 best performing SC2 players were once given 2 spots in GSL code S and 4 in code A and according to the number of wins, Yoonjong (Rain) and I should have got the spots but the system gave it to Rain and Jaedong because the decisive matches (ace matches) counted more and I got put in code A.. Im not mad ´caus Jd got the seed, from the fans pov they would have been happier to see Jd in code S and I wasn’t even comparable to him so I just accepted it (but I still remember it because the people around me were more upset about it at the time) and given the situation now, I remember this and I even think that they might have changed the rules because Im less popular relatively to other players.."

It's unfortunate that Trap got the short stick out of a similar situation in the past, here it's just Blizzard wanting to invite at least one Terran(despite everyone should know at least two would get voted in anyway); nothing personal but they should at least notified Trap in advance.
