Not 100%, but i'm pretty sure its via sign up (gotta be high on the ladder) highest ladder spots who sign up are eligable

I can't quote the source but I believe the general philosophy was:
Bottom Code S players vs. Top Code A players for a spot in Code S (losers stay/drop to Code A) Bottom Code A players vs. Top Qualifying players for a spot in Code A.
Someone else can fill in the specifics

hmm, that sounds kinda unfair

I think after GSL 4 the bottom 32 Code A have to Re-Qualify. So each GSL after that will have 32 "open" spots to qualify for Code A.
edit: Actually Rampager was close to correct found this after a little searching:
"Players that are ranked 1st through 32nd will be set as Code S and players that are ranked 33rd through 96th will be set as code A. After a league, the lower ranks of Code S players and the upper ranks of Code A players will play a match to decide their position for the next league. Also, the bottom 32 Code A players will have to play against top 32 Battle.net players to decide the Code A players for the next season."

I don't like how they use the top 32 Battle.net players instead of hosting a preliminary like in the GSL

Yea I'm not sure really how this will work. Considering the 64 people who secure spots in the GSL will likely be amongst the top 32 on the ladder. I am guessing somewhere in the top 100 may get you an inv. I would prefer to see the Bottom 32 Code A players get seeded in an open prelim like previous the GSLs as well.

Curious about the Code A tiebreaker. Artosis could make it haha
|
The criteria should be best hairstyles.
|
I hope they consider taking a game in the Ro64 loss as the first tiebreaker.

Seems like a pretty well thought out pyramid system that should keep the best players up at the top and allow new comers to work their way up.
I'm sure they'll have ways for new players/non A/S class to go through qualifiers to get shots at A and then they can get from A to S. As popular BW players continue to switch over they'll want to get them involved.
I read through it and all I really see is, "there will be a crapload of SC2 coming your way next year..." with all these tournaments and qualifiers, etc. I think some of these top A vs. bottom S are going to be great...

Never mind, section I quoted was edited out.

Assuming the Battle.net thing stays, it'll just be the 32 highest ranked people who put their name down. So even though you might be say... #54 on Battle.net you might be the 3rd highest person who entered.
But they were talking on SotG about how in the top 15 Korean Battle.net players, only about 4 or 5 of them are well known (appeared in GSL or otherwise) such as MVP and MC. If the Battle.net thing goes ahead, that means we could see a lot of nobody's getting an automatic entry who are actually quite terrible in a live tournament setting.

you guys do realize that top 32 battle net will make battle net more competitive. since if you want to become code A you have to play that instead of practice vs your team mates. so if there are randoms there now they will get replaced.

You're drunk and trolling the SC2 forums while watching the GSL? Man, that's one hell of a birthday...
Anyways, I think its a pretty solid list of S class players. I wonder which 8 will filter down to A-class as I can see people like July, oGsTop, Sen, etc. moving up to S-class with ease.

Okay, this would potentially be awful for foreigner fans, but if we use the current points and they pair a knockout tournament 1-32, 2-31,... 12-21, depending on how they do the tiebreaks Jinro could end up playing idra in the first round.
