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.
Ret and Jinro should be automatically Code A now, same with Sen (anyone who has Round 32'd).

Something amazing could happen, if all ro8 players are already code S, then TLO will get code S through high current points. Whether he takes it or not is just another question all together, would be amazing though... more foreigners in S class.

Err, I think you have to look at the rankings again. TLO is currently tied for 41st with no way of getting more points. Only the top 32 make S class so he's been eliminated from contention.

That's good because it would be such a waste to give code S to a guy who isn't even playing in GSL.

yay i hope jinro makes it to the round of 8 would love to have two foreigners in S class, but ill have to wait and see how tonight goes

Actually he is tied for 39th, but yeah, he's out already.

A lot of effort has gone into the OP so thank you very much.
So Code S and Code A players get to participate in the GOM tournaments in 2011 - is that correct?
What is the advantage of getting code S over code A in terms of 2011 competitions?
|
Really good job working out what this information means. Thank you.

Leenock is wicked good, glad to see idra up there.

Its just a seeding system. Top seeded players don't have to qualify. However, seeds are dynamic and fluctuate depending on your results in upcoming seasons. Code A players can overtake Code S players through an "up and down tournament".

Not sure if you're saying this correctly based on your wording. They're two different tournaments, an S-class tournament and an A-class tournament. S-class is the top tournament with the most prestige/prizes. "Up/down touranment" is only to set the S, A class for the next GSL season.

Anyone feel like the OP is keeping better track of Code S then the people at GOM probably are? lol

Very weird system used by Gom.
It would make much more sense having a point system were players gets their points doubled for every subsequent round they play in. Plus, not giving any points for those who got knocked out in the later stages of qualifies is just negligent, now how will they break all the inevitable ties?
Ro 64: 299 * 1,17 = 350
Ro 32: 350 * 2,00 = 699
Ro 16: 699 * 2,15 = 1500
Ro 8: 1500 * 1,67 = 2500
Ro 4: 2500 * 1,60 = 4000
Ro 2: 4000 * 1,75 = 7000
Ro 1: 7000
Round of 32 players are clearly discriminated.
The inconsistencies are strange. I think the system was designed in multiples of 2 but modified to make RO8 a threshold. You'll notice that there's no round where making it to is better than making it to the previous round twice except for RO8 (Hence the 2.15 multiplier when all the others are under 2x)
Although the system would still make more sense if RO32 was worth say 450 points.

OP updated to reflect the final ro32 results.
Currently there are zero wild card spots, BUT every ro16 match has a player that has Code S or clinched a Code S wild card spot, so we could see up to 6 wild card spots open up.
Here are the matches that are really going to matter for the players still going for Code S wild card spots:
ST_Squirtle vs. TSL_Rain
BitByBitPrime.WE vs. TSL_FruitDealer
oGsMC vs. ST_July
PoltPrime.WE vs. LiquidJinro
Underlined players are the ones that would unlock a wild card spot if they win.
Note that wild card spots have already been opened up from the NesTea vs. Maka and MarineKing vs Leenock matches as a wild card spot would open up no matter who wins.
Also note that in TheBest vs HongUn and mvp vs choya, if TheBest and/or choya win that would take them out of the wild card running. So, there would be one less possible wild card spot, but one less player vying for that spot. And if HongUn and/or mvp win, it would open another wild card spot, but would still have the same amount of players going for wild card.

It is indeed too bad that TLO did not participate in GSL3, he had a pretty good chance to get code S, don't know if he realized it at that moment..

Ha, thanks!  You would think that they'd outline the scenarios for Tastosis on those little info sheets so that they could hype the game up a little, but I'm sure they're keeping track of all this. I also noticed in the interview thread that fomos.kr is on the ball when a player clinches Code S (see MC or mvp ro32 interview).
EDIT: just noticed this news post on gomtv.net: http://www.gomtv.net/2010gslopens3/news/283
So, at least one person is keeping track over there 
|
Damn Jinro is 1 game away of achieving code S!!!
|
nice job with keeping track of the Code S rankings. this certainly ramps up the suspense.
anyway, to my question: what happens if not enough of the wild card spots open up to get anypro, LegalMind, TheBest and choya onto the list? (this is assuming TheBest and choya don't make it to ro8 :p)
