[GSL] May Code A Qualifiers - Page 15

Hmm, I think there are actually 5 rounds.

Bomber's route was:
Round 1: W/O
Round 2: Random opponent
Round 3: MakaPrime
Round 4: TeriousfOu
Round 5: Bracket finals

If this is correct then that means that it's a 32 round bracket. Assuming only the winner of the bracket moves on to Code A, then there are 16 brackets being played since there are 16 spots available. I could be totally off though so someone please correct me if I am!

Even though only one change from the previous list, just thought I update this in case people are too lazy to scroll through the threads. According to Doa, the finals (round 5) for each brackets are starting, so hope to see a couple of qualifiers soon. In the mean time these are a collection of information we have.

Notable players still playing:
Bomber - Finals of bracket (1 more win)
Maru - Not sure which round he's in

Notable eliminated players:
mOOnGLaDe - lost in Round 1 to MvP_Violet (not the BW player)
Maka - Eliminated by Bomber (round 3)
Terious - Eliminated by Bomber (round 4)
Cella - Eliminated by Maru (round unknown)
cArn - Eliminated by a Zerg player in Round 3

Players confirmed NOT in the qualifiers
Artosis - In Taiwan covering the TeSL for the weekend
All the other Foreigners in Team World.

Anyone else who's not here either hasn't played or we haven't heard anything about.

In the original post on Gom's website (linked below) they said that these qualifiers were open to 160-172 of the highest ranked Korean players. In addition to these players, any foreigners who want to sign up can also play. So there are probably about 180 players total, to be cut down to a total of 16.

So basically, the format will be 180 --> 128 --> 64 --> 32 --> 16. You have to win four matches to qualify, but a large number of players will get a bye in round 1 like Bomber did.

So the winner of all 16 "mini-brackets" will advance. If this is being run like it was in the past, then they usually have 4 different start times (11am, 1pm, 3pm, 5pm or something). 16/4 = 4, so I assume that four players from each session will be advancing.

So have they said anything about Team World getting into code A? I'd love to see Sen/Whitera in personally. Or Torch? He came so close last time and I feel like he should be in too.

Sorry I should have been more clear, I meant like any sort of invite system that they used last GSL
