I'm confused about how qualifying in just one season gets you to A class. By my count 141 different players have qualified for at least one season and there are only 96 total spots in S class and A class combined. So... how does this make sense?

Good job. I thought he was only going to try out, check his luck and then leave Korea?

You got one rank higher for Ro64 in GSL 1 than you do in GSL 2 and GSL 3. Therefore it was worth twice as much and that's why Torch will be Code A

Awesome.
I don't think anybody calls Torch a top player, but I get the sense that he has a ton of potential to improve with more practice and the right environment.
cheers to him

I will be so happy if Artosis becomes a Code A player then.

Edit: Also, be SUPER happy if Cella becomes Code A.

Quick update for you guys. Torch will be remaining a member of the VT Gaming community, but he will be representing ST in Korea. At American events he will be representing VT.

@Everyone wondering how he is A-Rank, 32 Code S players + 64 Code A Players over the 3 GSL Opens from 2010. Therefore due to the large number of repeats in GSL 2&3 He is A-Rank, so is Artosis.

Where is the source on that these things would determine your Code S or Code A?

If what you're saying is accurate then S2 Ro8 finishers do not get into Code S because they started out one rank lower. Sounds pretty ridiculous.

I think making Ro8 gets you Code S automatically. They really haven't explained it very well if you ask me.

Wow, this is so random,but cool at the same time. I would have never thought TorcH would be a contender to be apart of a Korean based team. It is cool that he is still affiliated with VT Gaming since that is his roots and where he came from when he came out into the scene. He was fun to watch when he was playing against TLO at MLG Dallas.
