This should answer all the questions about IdrA's empty spot in GSL.
1) Code A winner is not going directly into Code S.
2) IdrA placed 4th in Group B
3) The winner of IEM World Championship will take IdrA's spot in GSL March Up and Down matches.
Win.
I personally like it, since i like all 4 players remaining, but it's not really fair for eliminated players in code A imo.

I hope that isn't true, say Moonglade wins or something, he was eliminated in code A. Why would he deserve that spot over someone who won a match

IEM winner in up and down matches?? zomg.
Moonglade, Ace, Squirtle, and Moon.... all of them in korea, so that works so perfectly!

good game by Alicia
whos the best protoss in code A him or Huk Alicia by far. Huk is very good at what he does, but he only does one thing. That's fine up until you get to the very top where your opponent is going to study you for days before playing you. Ｉ agree with the intent of your post, but by no means do Code A players prepare less.... Its fairly competitive dude, even to be in code A ｉｓ ｓｒｓ ｂｓｎｓ I am including Code A as "the very top."

I mean, many players stuck in the GSL (playing for Code A) weren't able to attend, because they won their RO32 matches, lol
Going through Up and Down matches doesn't guarantee that you will get a spot in Code S.

Sad to say this but watching the GSL games and IEM games at the same time it's hard not to notice the difference in players' skills and quality of games.
P.S. The Amulet removal seems to be not only justified but also necessary, if the game were to evolve towards macro style. Remember that Stim takes longer to research with 1.3 as well, meaning toss has some more leeway on choosing techs in the beginning. I still think though marine's DPS needs to be reduced somewhat.
Yeah, but removing the amulet is gonna force toss to go colossus,
frankly I've read more complaints about the colossus being OP than HT...

the player gets to the up and down matches :-) not directly in code S because Idra finished 4th in his group they only get one chance to get into code S. otherwise they end up in Code A -)

squirtle, ace and moon also lost in code A didnt they? so really none of them would deserve it then.
I think its a good idea!!! Hoepfully one of the zergs will win now!

I should probably rephrase. Idra will never be a bonjwa. Mechanically, he's as good as anybody else. His problem is purely mental.

this seems like an extremely intelligent move, considering everyone left in the tournament failed code a but will just automatically get to code s.
A+

The biggest problem actually is that Colossi are fucking boring while HT play is amazingly awesome to watch in action.

Indeed.
He says that Alicia is the Bisu of SC2. We all know what that means.
Artosis thinks Alicia is a beautiful, handsome boy as well as a beastly Protoss.

The problem is it does gurantee Code A spot no? They all dropped from Code A.
Let's be honest. It's perfect timing. Imagine the chaos, if this was not done. Also winning IEM is hard, the winner of IEM -> has beaten Idra (directly or indirectly) thus the skill level is well deserved.
