You must be bad at math, if IdrA doesnt make it to round of 16 and 7 new people reach the quarterfinals, he gets kicked out of the top 32, even without including the people who can pass him on points without getting final 8.

Hmmm, awesome that Idra has S-rank. I think he deserved, qualifying for all 3 GSL's isn't a trivial matter it seems.

Weird that GOMtv would use a different ranking system for the point to determine S-class and for the "name" ranking system though. I'll explain what I mean:

On this site:
http://www.gomtv.net/news/256/0
they say that you do not get +1 rank if you had qualified for a previous GSL.

However, this site
http://esports.gomtv.com/gsl/community/view.gom?m=community&msgid=4585&c=all&p=1
does give points for making it into the RO64.

So after a few GSL's the name rankings would not correlate anymore with the actual points? That seems very counter intuitive to me.

Am I missing something here?

Nope
Assuming 8 new people make the quarter finals, there will be 23 S class players, and there will be a remainder of 9 slots for S-class. You add +299 (RO64) to idra, and +699(RO16) to everyone else that qualified for GSL3 and actually has points prior to this, he will still be in the top 32 = S-clas

I wonder if TLO would return for the A-class tournament.
