How is Idra more ready than Thorzain? And haven't seen much of Sen lately. I think the preparation format really suits Thorzain as shown in TSL3.

To say that Stephano isn't code A or even code S material is just denying the fact that he could take at least a bo3 to anyone, much like any code A/B koreans.
Except we're talking about a fucking foreigner...
I don't like stephano, nor hate him, but not acknowledging his strength is just plain dumb. Did you really think he didn't deserve it just because he *doesn't* have the level or isn't that deep inside of you, you want him lose in a very shameless fashion ? I despise Stephano's fans to some extent, but i don't care. I just want to see how well he'll performs in GSL. Take it or leave it.
For Chris sake...
The people who deserve Code S are the players who make it through the Code A qualifiers and win enough Code A games to get into Code S.
No one thinks Stephano isn't good enough for Code A, people think he (or anyone else) shouldn't get a free pass by doing well (but not winning) in tournaments with inferior player pools and/or formats which makes finishing well pretty easy.

That isn't what I said.

i stopped playing sc2 for 8months during my school term and come back and stephano went from some relative unknown player to a zerg revolutionary god
because everybody uses his roach tactics and i always use the same strategy to counter it i adore him
gogostephano fighting!

Stephano and NaNi are by far the only foreigners who would deserve a GSL seed. All other foreigners are just not consistent enough. And Steph > NaNi. NaNi only was really lucky this season that he only had to play Terran and Toss Opponents.

Stephano and MKP can have their rivalry come back in GSL :D

I think thorzain would do better than Sen or Idra did....
I'm not sure how stephano would do his style has been figured out a bit....

Stephano and Naniwa are the only foreigners who deserve a shot at Code S currently.
Giving the seed to a player like Idra just turned it into a joke for a while, but hopefully GSL has learnt their lesson.

A style that's given him success for a couple of months now seems hard to "figure out".
Your post represents what people were saying when he started getting known. It should be called viable by now.

the only true foreigner to deserve a direct seed into code S

I think Thorzain would go 0-2 in Code S (unless he drew someone who is really bad vs Terran like JYP) just like Idra and Sen did. He's probably better than those two but he'd have the same results.

Thorzain left Korea because he didn't like it there. It is very unlikely he'd accept a Code S seed. Especially considering he is scaling down his gaming as he is starting university after the summer.

of course with both naniwa and stephano in next GSL, luck will have them face one another in the Ro32 or Ro16 or something unfortunate :| (i'm remembering the GSL with Idra and Jinro facing off in the Ro8 or so)
|
Once GSL stops the seeds bullshit, they'll become more respected as a league.
MBC and OGN never did that shit, nor did they try so hard to please people. Just make the hardest motherfucking league on the planet and everybody will love you.
I like seeing Naniwa, and next season Stephano too, but deep inside, I don't respect Gom too much...

i wonder what the korean reaction is for this

Gom is trying to make SC2 global -> Everybody wins. Of course we want to see the best players play but it doesn't mean we don't have to segregate the two different Starcraft communities.
