It says according to GOM on their site

for Code A

Code A
- Ro32 Full Tournament
- Ro32 ~ Ro16 : Single Game, Ro8 ~ Semifinals : Best of 3, Finals : Best of 7
- 4 recommended foreign players will be seeded(Mainly winners of other worldwide tournaments)
- If there are no recommended foreign players, more players will be brought in through the Preliminary Rounds for Code A.
- Players who advance to Ro8 will play in the ‘Up and Down Match’
- Players who advance to Ro16 will remain in Code A.
- Players who fail to qualify for Ro16 will have to go through the Preliminary Rounds for Code A.


Single game means Bo1 but there is no mention of group stage unless they forgot to type that it's groupstage for ro32/ro16.

I really hope they aren't BO1 - thats really bad.

BO3 at least - its just too volatile in a BO1

This will make for some really good live shows. On the Code S players it will be rough if they end up in the bottom 16, but I love watching underdogs come through. It will be really neat to see which Code A players advance into Code S and which Code S players drop. Can't wait to watch these. Will this all start soon after the GSL 3 finishes or will there be a break over the holidays?

Bo1 group stage is fine, OSL and MSL have done it for years now.

Bo1 elimination games are terrible, they should really have un-casted Bo3s instead.

Quick question jalstar, I haven't watched a whole lot of osl. In the group stage, is it decided after the first two sets? Or do they play out all three sets and have tiebreakers if necessary?

The second, which is much more "accurate" but can result in some unnecessary games being played. Tiebreakers can last quite a long time as well.

MSL is shorter and never has tiebreakers but can result in rematches where players go 1-1 against each other and whoever won the last game advances. Also, it's less "accurate" as not all players play each other. Many people like the MSL system better because it adds a clearer sense of drama.

Best of 1 should never happen on a big stage. That's just lazy.

If they made A-Class matches also group stages, I'd be ok with that (like the tie-breakers recently), but single rounds are going to be insanely scary.
the farm ends here

Going 1-1 against another player and moving on would only happen if they beat someone else and the loser didn't. Its kind of like the disqualified person has a tie and a loss and the person moving on has a win and a tie.

1st-2 wins
2nd-1 win 1 tie
3rd-1 tie 1 loss
4th-2 losses

Shouldn't you know this? I mean you are Code A aren't you? Aren't you also still in Korea?

The worst thing a coach can do is not make sure a player knows the rules or how things work in the tournament.

In these 1 game matches you will see alot of safer builds against all in type of strategies.


Did Tester make Code A even? He only qualified for 1 GSL.

Why does Gom have to make everything so complicated? Why not just do a normal round robin for the group stages? Since the difference between 3rd and 4th matters the only reason seems to be so there are no tiebreakers.

So just for clarification..

On the code S group matches, those are BO1?

Meaning for the IMNestea vs. PoltPrime match, that's just a best of 1, and then the winner of that faces player D for example in another Best of 1, and then the players to win 2 best of 1s, advance...correct?
