People get relegated and promoted.
They do so via a series of playoff matches.

What's so hard to understand? Are TL people really that dumb? Or possibly American (since Americans aren't used to the idea of promotion and relegation, the rest of the world uses such systems in their sports leagues, but the US (and Canada) seem to have a system whereby teams are set forever and while you can create new teams, there is no reward at the lower levels for being successful other than that success).

Disappointing poll, i thought more of TL'ers. It really wasn't that hard to understand. Sure maybe i didn't have 100 percent comprehension after the first read (possibly due to reading too fast from sheer excitement) but after the second i knew exactly how the system worked.

I don't care.

I watch some SC2 now, but there isn't room in my heart for two starcrafts.

my same opnion, too bad that 95% of the games in star2 are not very good, even games people recommend sometimes are still not very entertainment (at least compared to BW)

but i hope this new GSL changes my mind

Even tho is kinda advanced compared to other league systems. I think its quite comprehensive when you take a little time and read up on it. Also it seems like a VERY good system, that makes all matches matter. Looking very much forward to see it in action!

Can't understand all the trouble, it's not all that simple but it's not like you can't get it at all... And besides, it's an awesome system! I'm sure ppl will understand when it begins.

Nope, don't get it.... but honestly i haven't had time to sit down and read about it yet. I listened to DjWheat trying to explain it and I think he definitely didn't get it^^ I'll sit down and read it at some point.

I don't recall ever trying to explain it. The only thing we did was discuss the thread from TL which originally came from GOM (before there was any additional information on it).

Here's what I understand about it:
- There will be a shitload of awesome games for us to watch

That's all I NEED to know.

It's probably the best format ever in any sports league - and i don't get it at all, how you can NOT understand it^^

I don't and I don't care, that option's missing. Artosis said it was a fair system were people like BitbybitPrime would get the fuck out, so I'm perfectly fine with not understanding as long as Artosis is right.

The TL threads definitely made it quite clear for me.

So far only 28% understand or care... Way to go, TL. I thought the RTS community was the brightest one out there...

Voted don't care. I never understood how people got into the OSL / MSLs either and I didn't really care.

I really didn't find the system confusing at all, there is the Sponsorship League/Main Event to determine ups and downs between S/A players, one league who's name keeps changing was at one time 'Ladder League' creates a ro64 between the top ladder players of each league (who are not already seeded as Code S/A), deciding new players to come and battle for Code A spots. The World Championship then determines the players who will face off in the Grand Finals/Blizzard Cup to determine the #1 player for the year. Really not that different from what we've seen in BW when you break it down. There will also probably be a team-league/pro-league style league from GOM as well.
