Round of 32 wins that will open possible wild card spots:

A. NesTea + MakaPrime
B. LiquidRet + HongunPrime
C. LiquidJinro + SlayerSBoxeR (assuming he wins Ro64)
D. IdrA + CheckPrime (assuming he wins Ro64)

If at least two of the above actually occur, then san/Leenock/Polt/MC will clinch S-class regardless of how they do in Round of 32.


EDIT: Lack of sleep

A and D are correct, B and C are incorrect as Ret and Jinro do not have Code S. Also, if MarineKing (FoxeR) and Leenock win, that would open up another wild card spot, since Leenock will clinch Code S if he gets to ro16.

For those wondering why these players winning would open wild card spots, it is because these players would play each other in the ro16, and both players have Code S. Since there's 8 Code S spots reserved for the top8 in GSL 3, one of those spots would become a wild card spot as the player that wins the ro16 match would already have a Code S spot.

Oops, sorry about that. I blame it on my lack of sleep.

I guess that was wishful thinking on my part...

I have actualized the clan list, if anyone is interested, with the results of Ro64>

Total Rankings + Number of Players qualified
Pts. Nr Team
17036 17 Prime.WE
14987 12 oGs
14381 20 ZENEX
12545 06 TSL
09246 04 IM
08797 07 ST
04046 08 fOu
03149 02 SlayerS
01648 04 Liquid
01399 01 EG
00948 02 WeMadeFox
00598 01 MVP
00350 01 Fnatic
00350 01 jung
00299 01 mYm
00299 01 NsP
16210 47 \no team\

Season III Rankings + Number of Players in Ro32
Pts. Nr Team
03690 02 ZENEX
02997 06 Prime.WE
02399 06 fOu
01648 03 ST
01597 02 oGs
01349 03 TSL
01298 02 IM
00999 02 Liquid
00649 01 SlayerS
00649 01 WeMadeFox
00350 01 EG
00350 01 Fnatic
00299 00 NsP
00299 00 MVP
00000 00 jung
00000 00 mYm
02195 02 \no team\


It is actually quite interesting to note, that
/ Liquid has as many players in the Ro32 as oGs ``
/ ZENEX had 12 players qualified this season, only two have won. Probably the most frustrated team right now (next to oGs of course)
/ Idra, Check and Maka reached the Ro32 3 times in a row now. If Check wins the next series, he will be the only player who was in the Ro16 every season.

I'm rooting for more Protoss players as well as foreign/near-bonjwa SC1 players in the Code-S class. Having more of any of them would make the Code S tournament next year much more interesting.

Essentially, I'd like to see these make it to the Round of 8 as newcomers:
Sen
Jinro
Ret
Squirtle/GgOBoogie
JulyZerg

And these 2 make it to the Round of 16:
TSL_GuineaPig
choyafOu

FruitDealer, FoxeR and IdrA returning to the Round of 8 would then open up three more wild card spots for Protoss players, making the distribution of S-class fairly balanced:

Kagami's Code-SBet
1. NesTea (Z)
2. FruitDealer (Z)
3. RainbOw (T)
4. FoxeR (T)
5. Ensnare (T)
6. SlayerSBoxeR (T)
7. LiveForever (T)
8. Maka (T)
9. InCa (P)
10. Zenio (Z)
11. HongUn (P)
12. Genius (P)
13. Kyrix (Z)
14. Check (Z)
15. sSKS (P)
16. Nada (T)
17. IdrA (Z)
18. TheWinD (Z)
19. Clide (T)
20. Hyperdub (T)
21. Sen (Z)
22. Jinro (T)
23. Ret (Z)
24. Squirtle (P)
25. JulyZerg (Z)
26. san (P)
27. Leenock (Z)
28. MC (P)
29. Polt (T)
30. GuineaPig (P)
31. Choya (P)
32. LegalMind (P) or anyproPrime (P)

= 11
= 11
= 10

Koreans: 28
Europeans: 2
Taiwanese: 1
Americans: 1

Bonjwas: 2
Near-bonjwas: 1

Of course, this would require several upsets:
-Sen would have to beat NesTea in ZvZ and then (likely) MakaPrime
-Squirtle would have to beat (likely) NEXGenius in PvP
-Jinro would have to beat Moon and then (likely) SlayerSBoxeR in TvT

July and Ret would also have to face some tough opponents to get into the Round of 8.

Updated the overview of clinching scenarios. San and Leenock will likely clinch very soon. Polt and MC have a very good chance too. Rain and mvp, however, must win their ro32 against very tough opponents (Genius and IdrA, respectively), so I'm not as confident about their chances.

I have been following GSL pretty closely, watching most of the VODs from there but one thing I don't understand. Why do all players want this Code-S so badly?

Does these ranks benefit them any further than the actual prize money they get from getting to RO8 in GSL? Is it simply to attract sponsors? If someone could elaborate on that it would be much appreciated.

The next (real) phase of the the GSL is the 2011 season. The tournament will no longer be an open format, there will be 32 Code-S players in the premier league competing for the best prize money and 96? Code-A players competing for lesser prizes and the chance to make it into Code-S, all other players can attempt to gain Code-A through the Blizzard ladder and I think also a couple open/invite? tournaments throughout the year.

NesTea vs. MakaPrime opens one spot for wild card.

If TSL_Rain loses today: san, Leenock, MC and Polt will all clinch Code S.

I hope there will eventually be a league and not only tournament play, though. Team league would also be very nice.

Isn't it the same tournament, but the Code S people get a bye while the code A players play a few rounds?

then later, the Code A players play the top people from the ladder so that they may qualify for code A?

No they're separate tournaments. Read here for details: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=170373

If Ret gets code S this season, I am certain he will win the GSL at some point.

Sorry for that question, but what do those ranks mean?!
Are these players automatically qualified next time...?
