Hmm Team League KOTH format.
Best of 5 in ro8/4 and Bo9 in Finals?
They probably are still discussing the details on some tourneys. Might as well make it Bo7 in semi's and the prize money structure for some tournaments is just aww while others are reasonable compared to the current GSL Open's.
Just realised that there are 7 GSL S leagues opposed to 5 that was said early when they said how GSL 2011 worked.
So it seems the reason the news was removed or hidden is because everything said in the OP is not finalized yet. So even the prize money and format for each tournament is probably in discussion.
Hope they'll sort it out.

Thanks for the OP! This is so insane - there is going to be so much starcraft 2 - omg my girlfriend is going to destroy me  !
As for the prize money.. wow - just wow; it is unbelievable.. i am so damn excited. I am a little bit on the fence about the "foreigner allowance".. foreigners are constantly arguing that the skill difference between Koreans and foreigners is not apparent, rather it is just a numbers game - but then again, a season/tourny without foreigners would greatly reduce the scope of the sc2 scene. hmmm i dont know.

Jesus. Where is all this money coming from. And more importantly, where am I going to find the time to watch all these games!!!

niceee... so much cash.. so many games.. hope it lasts

- 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? I think it's okay since it's rewarding the players based on their play over the entire year. If you consider that the 1st ranked player will have won multiple tournaments to get that spot, you can't say that he doesn't deserve it. All 10 players will have already made plenty of money so I don't think that will be too much of an issue. This final tournament will be for a bonus and bragging rights. I think it'll be cool to watch the lower ranked players try to climb to the top to prove that they're the true number one.
Not to mention the possibility of epic climbs by those from the bottom.

shame Code A tourney has such shitty prizemoney. Considering its bigger than everything outside of MLG / IEM, its still decent. Exactly what I thought, but you don't hear anyone complaining about the foreign tournaments. kind of meant by comparison really. 50 mil for code S, 1.5 mil for Code A. 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.
Yeah of course, it has to be this way. Winning Code A is basicly getting 33rd place.
It can't be more profitable to play Code A where you have a decent shot at winning the thing than playing Code S with a minimal chance at winning. People could throw up and down placement matches in order to stay in Code A, when they don't see a chance at winning or advancing in Code S.
Edit: I really want to know how much all that will cost :/
Since they started with 50$ for GSL Season 1 (before the discount) and then even called the 20$ ticket a pre-season discount...

This information was taken down on our website because there is some issues still to be confirmed. Also the confirmed version of this information will be announced at our finals this Saturday. We will post the new version of this information on our GOMtv.net website after the finals. Thank you for your support and sorry for the confusion.

Removed the news that was posted accidently on the GOM site untill it has been officially posted on their site.

Wow! Great! Just great! This ia a lot of money, tournaments and matches for 2011!
I just didn't like the "World" Championship system.
8 Koreans?! Where is Russia and Latin America? I know that these regions don't have too much players, but at least a invitation would be nice.
I don't know, but could be like this:
North America 3
Latin America 1
Russia 1
Asia 2
Korea 4
Europe 3
Taiwan 2
Excluding Korea, the more players that specific region has, the more will be invited.

100% agree, but let's wait and see the offical word from GOm after the finals

For that Blizzard cup at the end of the year, it strikes me that using a system more like, actually, the NFL playoffs would make more sense. Not sure the technical name, but the higher seeds (1 to 4) would get at least 1 "bye" round, then face off. Could split it up as well so there is 2 sides to the bracket.
General idea is to win it, you'd need to win at least 3-5 matches as a lower seed, but the top seed wouldn't need to win just once to take it.
It should be interesting, either way. But if they do the King of the Hill style, should be a bonus prize for a victory streak over 2, so the player that runs from, say, 9th place and wins up to facing 3rd place, gets something extra for that long streak of Bo7 victories.

Why its called GLOBAL sc2 league is mind blowing just a marketing facade...should be korea sc2 league with foreigners. All the qualifiers are made inaccessible to players outside of korea and according to this release seems like ladder in SEA has no purpose as well, why bother laddering then and pointless regionlocking when only laddering in korea makes sense from competitive point of view.

While I agree with the SEA issue, contrary to popular belief SC2 is in fact..a computer game. This is hardly the world cup here mate, just be happy they are even trying to do this and the possibilities are still there for foreigners to make it which was harder in BW.

Holy ...
Thanks for lining this out so nice. I am so loaded with SC2 fever, this is going to be awesome!

IMO Taiwan/China should only have one, with the 2 other slots going to KR. Taiwan/China just doesn't have as many quality players besides Sen, Loner and a few others. In terms of notables, they've produced as much as Latin America and Russia.
China will probably produce more good players by then and match NA/EU so i'll probably be wrong though.

That's a LOT of money. Can't wait to see how awesome the competition is next year! Glad they're at least trying to get foreign players involved as well.

Just think of the Blizzard Cup like the Proleague postseason--The best performing team is seeded into the finals and the second best is seeded into the semi finals (although it obviously deviates from there). It's nice in that it gives the tournaments some memory beyond whether the people managed to climb/fall codes and in that it rewards the players who show better years without making it impossible for someone to have a really good run and win it.
