Hope they make tie breakers for code A to be whether the player took a game off his opponent in his RO64 match, then Artosis might get in.

I just realized something. The only reason IdrA and TheWinD haven't clinched S-Class yet is because of this rare scenario:

IF the 7 players that are directly behind them in the standings get ro16 (Clide, Leenock, Hyperdub, anypro, Polt, MC, and jookToJung)
AND
8 players below that first group get ro8
AND
IdrA and/or TheWinD lose in ro64, then they would be in a tie for the last few spots in S-Class.

But, two of that first group of 7 players, Clide and Leenock, play each other in the ro64, so both of them cannot get ro16, so that rare scenario can't even happen.

So, IdrA and TheWinD have clinched S-Class.

Even if Clide and Leenock could get Ro16 (Clide actually only needs Ro32), you're forgetting that there's 9 non-Ro8 S-code positions available as Hopetorture has gotten Ro8 twice. Oh and MC is too far behind, MC needs a Ro8 place to get S-code (in the senario you outlined).


Check has already locked up one of those 9 spots, and MC would get S-Class with a ro16 finish. The same goes for Polt and jookToJung. If they got ro16 finishes, they'd have the same amount of points as IdrA or TheWinD if they were to lose in ro64. And we've already proven IdrA and TheWinD will get S-Class even if they lose.

I like how Code S is very exclusive and the tournament itself is very comprehensive and thorough, while the Code A tourney is very much a crapshoot. This means you'll have the benefit of having a stable roster of the best of the best making up Code-S, while still giving a huge chance for many, many different people to compete at A level.

It's kind of like the best of both worlds, the tournament is very accessible for everyone while at the same time being extremely illustrious and high profile at the very top level.

I think you're confused. MC has 649 points right now, a Ro16 exit would leave him with 1049 points, IdrA currently has 1348 points.

649 (MC's current points) + 699 (for ro16 finish) = 1348

Or just think about it without points:

IdrA's finishes: ro32, ro16, and ro64 (if he loses)
MC's finishes: ro64, ro32, and potentially ro16

Ya, he used his full name, JangMinChul as his ID in GSL 1 and lost in ro64 to PoltPrime. Here's my spreadsheet if you want. (I think I've gotten rid of all the mistakes) https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AnxzFGuL2Vx8dHBnTS1jV2VmeE5SeWlNbEZlWGd2dnc&hl=en&authkey=COGz4_oF

Here's yet another spreadsheet of mine.

BTW, I see some spreadsheets with Genius on NsP team. This is incorrect since he is still in ZeNex team while being a member of NsP clan.

Thanks for all the info guys. Not sure how I feel about the bo1s, but I'll hold off on any criticism until I better understand how it's going to work out.

Ya, I thought that was the case with Genius, but he's using the NsP tag on his ID, so it's still a little confusing.

Nice sheet, btw, lots of information. I didn't realize that TheBestfOu was the same player as KangJiYoung from Season 2. TLPD doesn't have that listed correctly, but gomtv.net proves it. You might want to put the english version of the IDs that are in Hongul in the AKA column so people can find those players easier.

For people like Huk, how do they go about getting code A/S now? Is it through the ladder tournament?

This sums up my thoughts perfectly, we'll get to watch a roster of SC2 superstars and still have open tournament for newcomers entrance. Let's hope that the execution of this tournament works as it would be on paper.

I assume he has to qualify for one of the 32 'open' positions of the A tournament. Then, within the A tournament getting as far as the round of 8 to qualify for the Up and Down Match. If he beats his opponent in the Up and Down Match he then obtains Code S.

so Sen will have to beat Nestea on RO32 and Maka on RO16 to get code S . That's a tough bracket he's in.

Remember that the formats for 2011 GSL is not final. It's on their website as their plan for the tournament and they may stick with it, but may be they will change it. Remember that they will have to run both Code S and Code A in a month as well as qualifiers in between, so they may want to speed through Code A tournament which has bigger pool of players.

Which is kinda why they're doing Bo1's for the initial rounds of the tournament. Right now for the GSL preseason they're doing 10-15 games a night, that could easily translate into 11 matches a night for the A tournament Ro64, 8 Matches a night for the Ro32, and 8 Matches a night for the Ro16.
