GSL tournament setup atm is just completely retarded. There should definately be some more seeding to avoid random knockouts of good players. It is already stupid that both finalists of the previous GSL have to play up and down matches, who should play up and down from the code S players should really be determined by results in the previous two GSL's or even three. Ie. If you reach final your safe for the next 2 GSL's.
Even then if that is not used there should at least be a seeded placement for the up and down groups. Nestea and MKP, the 2 players with the best overall GSL results, in the same group? That is just retarded, the chance of one of them getting knocked out is fairly decent now as Leenock is quite a fine player who nearly beat MKP in previous GSLs already. They should have just paired the best GSL players from code S to the worst in the up down matches, ie MVP with Polt, MKP with Hyperdub or something like that.
Since Supernova got to the finals, he got to choose 2 players to his group. Groups A-F were random. Just wanted to clear that up.

whilest i am thinking like you, that the gsl setup is retarded, my suggestion would be LESS seeds. like only top 4 get a seed into ro16, rest has to go through ro64 (group stages?) or even lower. that way the good players have a chance to qualify each season and the best get rewarded.

Shit, FruitDealer is going down to Code A Fuck.

To you guys arguing about good players not getting a chance with the current GSL system.... dude, they had their chance and they botched it when they got owned in group stages. Now they're getting yet another chance in the up/down.
The system is set up so that it's really really difficult to get in from nothing, but somewhat hard to get out if you're already code S.. you have to lose the first round, then lose up/down matches, then you're still in code A next season and have to lose the first round again to get knocked completely out... at which point you're no longer a good player so you can't say that it's a good player 'randomly getting knocked out'.

Nestea can only blame himself for losing to players which he should supposedly roflstomp, same for mkp. If it was san/ensnare/sc instead of nestea/mkp, u guys wouldnt have complained this much

Is being the second code s player also random? Becuase the first code s player gets 2 chances to stay in code s whereas the 2nd player only gets 1...

No. If you went 0-2(or 0-3) you are placed fourth in your group which means you only get one chance.

Wow, leenock got the worst group ever

Hahahah I could totally see MVP dropping down to code A when he's against two protoss players.

Don't underestimate The Game Genie Terran

Looking forward to Alicia, MVP, Genius. That is going to be pretty awesome. And Go HuK! I hope he can pull through

Feel bad for Leenock, Jesus that's a tough group.
|
I don't think SangHo (killer) will make it to Code S, he has never impressed me and I'm sure boxer beat him in G-Stars.

This lol. Alot of people think lowly of Mvp now for dropping 2 games. He still has THE best win/loss record in GSL (at least i think he does).

Seriously? That would be awesome! 
Kinda feel bad for Leenock and Alicia to draw such tough groups. Some really good players will go down to Code A while some weak ones will go to Code S.

how exactly do these work? each group plays round robin, and the top 2 go to code S, bottom to code A?

He is still #1 in ELO by a wide margin despite losing in the ro32, kinda shows you how dominate he was.

Code A guy player plays against 3rd place code S. winner moves to code S, loser faces 4th place code S player for the final code S spot.

No, the first two play a bo3, winner goes to Code S and loser plays against the other guy in another bo3 where the winner also goes to Code S and Loser to Code A.
