Well we are talking about Intel GSL and Intel Extreme Masters. Looks like the decision about it was made considering the sponsor. It bring both hype to IEM and GSL. People in Korea will watch the finals of the IEM knowing that the winner is going to up/down code S matches. Also GOM is getting some extra publicity.

But you guys forget the main issue. Its happening once (cause player retired during tournament) and they had to replace his spot. It doesnt mean that next IEM winner would get a ticket to GSL. Its once in a time situation.

The feeling of entitlement seems to be omnipresent these days.

Here's the thing: the only place where fair and unfair exist is in your head.
They run the tournament, not you. They can do whatever the hell they want.

NBA: Player who scores most points in All Star game gets his team the extra playoff spot!

I like the idea someone said about letting Code A winner get the free trip to Code S. That seems fair for everyone since that guy has to win so many rounds of code A for $1,500 and...the chance to choose your opponent?

Winning IEM looks 10 times easier than making it out of Code A this season.

Yea i totally agree it would have been a way better idea to have the Code a winner just move up to Code s. Koreans are most likely gonna clinch the first 3 spots at IEM (moon and ace in the finals , squirtle fighting for third) and they arent even close to the best in korea the skill level in korea is just higher overall that is why three players not even in the gsl anymore can come over to IEM and mop house with the best players outside of korea it really didnt seem like much of a challenge to ace to get this far he won so many consecutive games. Hes a great player but doesnt deserve to be in the up and down matches after losing code a in the round of 32 i would be pissed off if i was one of the code a players.

Should have screenshot it when I saw it, but alas.

The original message on Twitter announced that the Top Non-Korean in IEM would go into the up and down matches. This was changed 2-3 minutes later to say the winner (probably because they realised moonglade was already the highest and announcing this was basically saying "MoonGlade into up and down").

I do prefer Code A winner getting automatic entry since i feel that winning Code A should be better than what it is. But to me this still makes sense to replace Idra outright and GOM is definitely doing a good job of not coming across as the Korean tournament. They're doing everything possible, it seems, to reach out to foreigners. And really, they even said right from the get go that accomplishments would determine the free foreigner spots and stuff. This is all pretty consistent and i like their dedication to that.

I'm fine with this!

This decision is absurd.
This kind of decision is like GOM CEO sitting on toilet, suddenly had this idea.

This will make code A players who did not get to up and down matches so mad.
Gom will lose their reputation for doing so.

Its a great decision, it shows that Korea is showing respect to foreign tournaments and at the same time solving the issue which would have given them a headache for Code S, all in one swell swoop.

I wish they were autoseeding the winner of Code A like announced on the stream incorrectly, that made Code A actually useful past round of 8

Why should they give foreign tournaments respect? Most foreign tournaments are just crap.

When you organize a tournaments, you should be fair to everyone.
This is too unfair for those code A players who did not make up down matches. If any one of them come to Germany, they will have a pretty good chance to win the whole thing. Why are these 3 GSL prelim players so special? Gom is disappointing everyone.

Quite the opposite actually. it's great.

Also people have to remember that gom invited 4 foreigners to code A without making them qualify for it. I don't see how people can criticize the decision of letting the winner of a world championship get one shot to qualify for code S.


World Champion? It is a joke.
They should not invite foreigners directly into code A.
Everyone should go through preliminary round.

This season, he did not win anyone who are in Code A right now. And nobody in code A went to IEM.
How can you assume he is better than them? Just from the results, he is definitely not better than any one of them.

If they get a second chance to stay in Code A, that's totaly fine, and great.
But chance to code S, that's absurd.
