Does anyone think that the koreans fear the foreigners? So they pit the only 2 foreigners in S class against each other. I mean what are the odds they would be in the same group and the play each other first round. Just seems like the group drawing could have been fixed alittle. Just saying

Holy crap MC vs Nada and Jinro vs IdrA? That's a crazy first set of matches. Not liking the Code A rules though.

updated now with a lot of information.
The updated information seems to have been hidden on gomtv so take it with a grain of salt as I haven't seen it myself. Hope someone has a screenshot of it.

2 players from North America, 2 from Europe, 2 from Taiwan, 2 from China and 8 players from Korea


Why is this limited to Taiwan and China?!?! That is completely unfair.

it might have a few flaws but this is so many tournaments, games and money.. it's amazing..

never was esports so professionaly handled even if some people disagree with the formats, i believe with the TV thing that they know this might be their best choice and people won't disagree with the prize moneys! I also really like the fact that they help out the foreign scene!

i really look forward for next year, thank you GomTV

Yes, the world tournament is strange, no SEA, no Eastern Europe (Russia, Ukraine, ...), no South America.
If they really want to keep more Koreans than others they should give Korea 4 players, merge Taiwan and SEA, and give South America and Eastern Europe 2 players each

I don't like the Best of 1s because it doesn't really reflect the skill of the players. It depends on the luck of the map the opponent race/player.

Example : Group H

Playday 1
M1 Ensnare vs Jinro ( Delta Quadrant )
M2 CheckPrime vs Idra ( Scrap Station )
( lets assume our foreign heroes win their first games )
Playday 2
M1 Jinro vs CheckPrime ( Scrap Station )
M2 Ensnare vs Idra ( Steppes of War )

and depending on the results after playday 2, a playday 3 may or may not have to be played. So if Jinro and Idra ideally win their playday 2 as well ... guess what!!?

we wont be seeing Jinro vs Idra like everyone's so looking forward to see.

You need to read the OP better.

In your example if both Jinro and IdrA wins then they will play on playday 3 against eachother to determine who will be 1st and 2nd. Because this will probably be determined what seeds in the 2nd groupstage they are going to be seeded.

Thanks to antoine and junkka for this.
LOL@no SEA contributors, since I'm originally a player from that region but now play on the NA server (which obviously was a wise choice). Russians have a hard time getting visas I thought, so maybe they have just completely skipped them which is sort of unfair but reasonable, they also have less players than SEA... and I don't know what the deal is with South America, they just don't have enough players I think.
The BO1 in A Rank is agreeably silly and rather harsh given that maps and cheese can mean an almost automatic out of the tourny, but if you think about it compared to the GSL now, at least those players get an automatic in to the tournament for their first season as opposed to others who have to qualify (bottom 16 code A, this isn't for the first tournament though right? the players in the first code A tournament are already decided? the top korean ladder players, 4 foreigners) I assume in the same fashion as this year's GSLs with preliminaries. I think they have done the prizemoney right though, if you win code A then you are getting way more than a ro64 loser in the current GSL, but still getting less than the bottom of code S, but with a chance of progressing upwards to get into the big league.

"Russians" aka Eastern Europe means people like White-ra, Dimaga, Bratok and at least White-ra is always able to attend as I noticed

I think what he meant was that Russia has its own local BN server...

I like the Code S system. But you only get a real round robin when its 1-1 all or 2-0 2-0

if its 2-0 1-1 1-1 0-2 you only get to watch the 1-1 play in M3

Well Code A Best of ONE kinda sux... must be because of time constraints
No its not Dark Templar

This is to avoid tie breakers and above all for the possibility of a group with more than 2 members of the same team setting it up to get 2 members through (obviously you won't eliminate rigging matches entirely).
