I like the part about the reserved foreigner spots It looks like a nice system to me, where noone is actually guaranteed a place if they stop playing well.
really?

So win an MLG or similar ---> Code A.
Would be great if they provided transport and housing for the foreigners.

All this 4 reserved spots bullshit sounds like affirmative action.

they really need to change it so more than 8 spots are available to change in Code S every season.... honestly it's plain absurd to me -__-

Sorry, because I'm new to this all, but whats this whole Code A, Code S stuff? I remember Artosis mentioning it when Jinro won the semifinals and it seemed like a big deal.

This is actually an awesome setup with the only downfall possibly being the group stage where we don't know for sure how many games will be played between 2 players. If it's best of 1 then it seems so highly dependent on maps and I don't think it would be too fair. I would suggest a best of 2 with a score system .. if 2 players take 1 game each it's a draw and if a player wins both it's a win. And scores should be given according to wins, draws etc. I think this will also decrease the number of ties within a group which itself will be pretty complicated.

Code S Group A

Fruitdealer
Foxer
Nestea
MC

2 players will move on to the next round where they will be grouped again with another 2 players while the bottom 2 will enter a fight to stay in Code S against the top 8 from Group A ( could even be picked out by the top 2 of Group A ).

It will get more complicated when each player wins against each other and have a 4 way tie in case of Bo1s.

And for foreigners to get 4 reserved spots is fair since it will give foreigners the opportunity to play in the GSL if they choose to. And even if not reserved, they can enter through the normal preliminaries to get a spot in the 12 Group A spots that are open to Koreans and foreigners alike.

For example .. winner of dreamhack Naama gets that spot and his clanmate MaNa comes along with him to Korea .. MaNa can still enter qualification rounds with the possibility of more than 4 foreigners getting a spot in code A and make their journey towards Code S.

And all games I suppose will be aired and publicized which will make the whole tournament of Code S and Code A very exciting to watch. Still I hope it's a Bo2 instead of a Bo1 in the group stages.

1. Unfortunately, Jinro didn't win the semifinals.
2. Read the OP. Based on the results of the first three GSL tournaments, players are put into several leagues, also see here. Code S is the highest class / highest league with its own tournament, while the best Code A players from its seperate league will be able to have relegation matches against Code S players.

I don't follow soccer, but the most known relegation system I've heard of is the Premier league. They have 20 clubs (according to Wikipedia) and 3 are relegated each season, and seasons are long. Here there are 32 code S players and 8 possible relegations each month. Let's say that there's an average of 3 relegations a month. Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

sounds like a good old european style sport league. With promotion and demotion, which is very good for competition.

I've never really liked American sports due to the fact that there is no penalty for being bottom of the table. In the UK the bottom 3-4 teams get relegated and the top 3-4 get promoted (obv not when ur in the top league lol). This system allows for more comptetition between teams and means that you don't watch the same 30 teams play year after year (see the NBA or NFL) and have essentially one or two teams dominate all the time as there are always new teams on their way up and down and there is more money for those in the top leagues so the new teams get more money and cna therefore perform better.

Can't wait for 2011 sounds like blizz and GOM have managed to put together quite a good run of tourneys!

I love every rule except perhaps the small number of players in code A. Still, should make for great competition.

The Code S determination matches give the 3rd ranked players a bit of an advantage.

That is, 3rd ranked player vs Top 8 Code A takes place first. Then, whoever loses will play against 4th ranked player. The loser fails to stay in Code S and belongs to Code A for next season.

I particularly like this one because the advantage given to 3rd ranked Code S players is also extended to the top 8 Code A. They face double elimination, while the players who did worst in Code S (the 4th ranked), face single elimination. As it should be.

So question for you guys, how does a person who is not a Code A or Code S get to that level? do they have qualification tournies like before? or is it at this point only the invites for being a top foreigner and doing well in foreign tournies?

This system sound fantastic! I wish they would Bo3 for the group stage, I know Bo1 was how BW worked, but can't we make it better in starcraft 2? More games = more content and better idea of who is really the best.

looks pretty cool! do you think the system will discourage BW pros from switching over because they can't jump right into the top tier action?
