..and in retrospect, I'm saddened foreigners didn't jump more quickly to participate in GSL1 and GSL2 qualifiers. With earlier and multiple tries we would've had a much better showing overall. Now the newcomers have to place in the top 8...HuK didn't even make it :'( | ||

Code S will have full round robin ro32 and ro16 and a tournament format after that. They said players will be able to move up from Code A to Code S, but they didn't say exactly how. It isn't even clear if players will be able to move during a full year season (which has 5 regular tournaments and bunch of other event tournaments and finishes the year with "Blizzard Cup"). Say what. Where did you get that info. How are you supposed to do a round robin with 32 players. Do you mean group stages. And isn't Gom's philosophy all about the single elimination bracket tournaments. | ||

He's gonna have to play really good to beat him! | ||

Keep in mind that he not only has to lose, but the tournament has to be entirely turned upside down for him to not get S code. He clinches his spot with a Ro32 appearance, but he's practically guaranteed S code unless the universe hates him. I can guarantee there will be repeat players in this season's Ro8. IdrA has secured S code; he only has to worry about doing well this season now. | ||

There are still 18 players who could end up being #1 overall in points by the end up GSL 3. Presumably these points will be used for seeding in 2011, so there's still plenty of reason to fight (as if money and pride weren't reason enough). | ||

I know this has probably been discussed, but does this mean essentially no more foreigners can participate in GSL now? For new foreigners, they won't count for Code S/A tournaments...and there is pretty much no way they can make Top32 in KR Ladder to qualify to fight Code As correct? | ||

We don't know whether they are using the KR ladder. It is likely they are using the overall Top 32. If they didn't, there would be a HUGE foreign backlash. | ||

Looks like it will be very hard to reach Code S if you don't qualify for Code A this pre-season, let alone Code S. GO TEAMLIQUID! secure your spots now! And good luck Huk next year, you'll need it lol it'll be incredibly hard | ||

 . I'd prefer that it was also 50% of S class that had to go to the Up-or-Down matches, but I can understand why it was less.The good news is that even though foreigners aren't going to be jumping into the S-class scene en masse, they're not horribly penalized by not entering the rankings this year. I'm assuming (and hoping) that there will be more than one A-class tourney each year. Also, this makes the Ro64 for Seaons 3 GSL Open VERY INTERESTING, because I think each winner is pretty much guaranteed to make A-class, but the losers not so much so. (I heard that Torch was picked up by Startale because Season 1 Ro64 is valued a point above Season 2 and 3 Ro64, so he will almost certainly get A-class. And of course, MORE TLO speculation. Will he fly in for A-class tournaments but not live in Korea? Will his spot go to someone else. I hope the former but suspect the latter... | ||
