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  | ||

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." Found here: [Interview] The Philosophy of the GSL | ||

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. | ||

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... | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
