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.
There will be 64 code A players, meaning that players in the top 96 will qualify for code A. (i.e. Top 32 = code S, rank 33-96 = code A)

Code S means you're getting seeded, or what?

this is the last gomtv open.
starting by next year we have 2 new leagues: code A league and code S league.
code S is the one with the high prize pool.
simple as that.

San Leenock and Rain are almost guaranteed S-class now. So much needs to go wrong for them to miss.

The following ro32 scenarios would open up a wild card spot as it would have two Code S players playing each other in ro16, which would guarantee a Code S player in ro8:
IMNesTea win and MakaPrime.WE win Both won, so one more wild card spot opened
EGIdrA (or IMmvp if he clinches Code S) win and CheckPrime.WE win
MarineKingPrime.WE win and LeenockfOu (will have clinched Code S if he gets to ro16) win
The second one should simply be Check win (regardless of IdrA vs mvp result, since if mvp wins and Check wins, mvp will have clinched Code S -- He'll be no worse than 26th, and even if he loses to Check in Ro16, another "wild card" spot will open thanks to Check taking a Ro8 spot)

right now, mvp can only clinch a tie for a Code S spot if he wins. He would need another wild card spot to open up or polt or MC to lose to clinch for sure. He will most likely clinch a spot, but right now it wouldn't be guaranteed if he won.

^I guess you misinterpreted what I said. mvp needs to win to get in, but regardless of the result of the mvp vs IdrA match, a Check win opens up another "wild card" spot.
Case 1. Check and IdrA win. Both have already cliched, so a spot opens up, as you have correctly noted. Leenock, san, Rain, MC, Polt will all be in, and there is at least 1 more spot for someone with 998 points.
Case 2: Check and mvp win. Then mvp will be in (as will Leenock, san, Rain, MC, and Polt) as they will all have 999+ points, which no one else can achieve without Ro8. And at most 6 lower players will get Ro8 (since 1 spot goes to NesTea/Maka and another goes to mvp/Check, again assuming mvp and Check win in their Ro32 games).

Ah, I see what you're saying. MVP wouldn't clinch a wild card spot with a win, but if he and Check won, then mvp beat Check, the automatic Code S spot would just remove him from the wild card race and there'd be enough spots for Leenock, MC, Polt, Rain, and san. I sort of covered that in the overview, but didn't apply it to the other part since that scenario wouldn't technically open another wild card spot.
All this is fairly pointless tho, as I'm certain another wild card spot will open up one way or another and an mvp ro16 finish would get him in along with Leenock, MC, Polt, Rain, and san. I think what will happen is 2-3 more wild card spots will open up and it will be TheBest, LegalMind and anypro on the bubble and maybe needing some kind of tiebreaker.

Congrats Idra way to hold it down.

It's sad that GSL is changing format now. GSL3 saw so many foreigners go and almost make it. Going for future seasons is so much more of a time commitment now. Hopefully it all works out :/

With LeenockfOu and MarineKingPrime.WE winning, another Code S wild card spot has opened up and this means that LeenockfOu, sanZenith, PoltPrime, oGsMC, and TSL_Rain have clinched Code S! There is currently one wild card spot left and IMmvp can clinch it if he wins tomorrow. More wild card spots can open up for each Code S player that makes it to ro8 (including those who have clinched), so players sitting on the bubble like Legalmind, anyproPrime.WE, and TheBestfOu (if he loses in ro16) still have a shot.

How many Protoss at the moment? 5, with 3 close to grabbing wildcard spots if they open up, right?

Nice to see Idra made it though fruitdealer is still my hero.

Code A
1. 64 player tournament
2. Ro64 ~ Ro16 will be Bo1, Ro8 ~ Finals will be Bo3
3. Top 32 players will have right to remain in Code A tournament.
4. Bottom 32 players will have to go through the qualifiers to play in the next Code A tournament.
5. Top 8 players will be placed into "Up and Down Match"
So far it looks like the only way new foreigners can get into the GSL next year is through Code A qualifiers, perhaps concurrent with every main GSL. Tough luck.
Also, from the spreadsheet it seems everyone with at least 350 points is Code A? Ret, Jinro for example.

Currently the count is 11 Terran, 8 Zerg, and 6 Protoss. There's 2 Protoss on the bubble right now, anyproPrime.WE and LegalMind. They'll need 1-3 more spots to open up depending on how mvp and TheBest finish.

Yep, anyone with at least 350 points (ro32 GSL finish/multiple GSLs or better) has Code A. There is a tie between the 39 players who have 299 points (1 GSL ro64 finish) for the last 20 spots in Code A. They haven't said how they'll break this tie, but they could do something like the players who took a game get Code A, or have a mini tournament.

Proud to see that Idra got S class, saw it coming, hopefully he can clinch a Final's spot sometime in the near future.

So what does the S stand for exactly?

awesome, oGsMC is confirmed S-class!!
