EPTFor example, in code A with 4 foreigners being included does that mean that Ret would take up a foreigner place, or one of the existing places with another +4 foreigners included?

5) Blizzard Cup (1 tournament a year in December) – Invitational - The top 10 players of the point ranking of that year will play in a play-off type tournament. - Day 1 : 10th place vs. 9th place, Day 2 : Winner vs. 8th place and so on. - There will be 1 best of 7 matches a day So they're trying to give the 1st place player a free tournament win? If I understand this correctly, 10th place player will have to win 9 Best of 7's to win the Tournament (which is ridiculous) 9th place player will have to win 9 Best of 7's to win the tournament 8th place player will have to win 8 Best of 7's to win the Tournament 7th place player will have to win 7 Best of 7's to win the Tournament (... etc. etc...) 2nd place player will have to win 2 Best of 7's to win the Tournament 1st place player will have to win only 1 Best of 7 to win the Tournament and is guaranteed at least second place. Or am I not getting it? | ||

- 8 teams will be selected by the added points of their team members in Code S and Code A. Is Liquid sure they don't want Idra? | ||

? This was mentioned in Jinro's latest interview (pretty sure it was him) that they wouldn't have enough players to play anyways, so they may join with oGs- in which case they would have plenty of points anyhow. | ||

Basically getting promoted from Code A seems like it'll offer a solid financial boost, since you can look at promotion up to Code S as essentially the same as winning the Code A tourny in terms of guaranteed payout. It looks pretty awesome tbh, I hope they can afford it and that it captures a decent audience =D | ||

Or am I not getting it? vouch. exactly my thoughts. its quite obvious that they want to make the blizzard cup the "king of cups", but this format is just totally retarded. basically, only the top5 have any chance of winning this. oh, and what if there are ties in the points accumulated? if for example the 2nd and 3rd place are tied in points, they´d have to play a preliminary seeding match for the blizzard cup which greatly affects the chances of winning it. and id also like to know an answer to the question if the 4 foreigner spots in code A will be including or excluding foreigners who already qualified through the ordinary way. ie, does ret count as one of those 4 spots or not? but in general the schedule looks very nice and interesting. great that blizz is pumping so much money into sc2 to get it started as an e-sport. what i dont like though is that they implicitly have accepted korea as the undisputed center of the sc2 esports scene for some time. this can be seen for example in the foreigner rule and by the fact that 8 koreans come to the world championships, while none of LA and SEA are invited. btw if im not mistaken, the payout schedule means that code S players are guaranteed a monthly income of around 1.3k $ a month. thats not too bad. | ||

That's a pretty enormous difference. i mean, Code S gets the same just for showing up that Code A gets for winning the whole thing. | ||

The Blizzard Cup is essentially a "Championship Title" like in F1 or EPL. They are rewarding the most consistent player of the season/year. Then again nothing is set in stone, they haven't even made an official statement yet. As for the foreigner spots in Code A. It won't apply to the first Code A Tournament in 2011 as the player list has already been determined via the 3 GSL Opens and Tiebreakers. That's my take of it anyway. | ||
