Official Gomtv release
http://www.gomtv.net/2011super1/news/65340


GSL tour will be changing dramatically starting second half of this year (changes starting july).


Code S
tournament will be changed to 'dual tournament' style.

This is same style that is currently used @ MSL round of 32.

basically there will be only 5 matches per group; where only 4th place will get knocked out of code S. first and second place will advance while 3rd place staying in code S.

So can anybody explain more accurately what a dual tournament is? I tried searching for it on the liquipedia but there were no hits.


A v B
C v D
Winner A/B vs Winner C/D (match 3)--> Winner of this qualifies 2-0
Loser A/B vs Loser C/D (match 4) ---> Loser of this is eliminated 0-2
Loser match 3 vs Winner Match 4 ---> Winner of this qualifies 2-1, Loser eliminated 1-2

That way it also guarantees a 1,2,3,4 ranking



Code A
does not have any major changes except for changes in dates.

In first 5 days of Code A, there will matches held at 1:10 PM and 6:10 PM


Up-and-Down
The biggest changes will actually be coming from up and down matches.
winner of code A tournament will automatically get into Code S
Also, winner of MLG will get Code S
(if winner of MLG declines to get into GSL, it will be given to runner up).
In the event there is no MLG, the Code S will be given by wild-card.

In the actual 'Up-and-Down' matches, it will be played by 8 players in Code S who got knocked down with 7 top players from code A. 15 players will play in 5 player group with top two players in the group advancing to code S.



GSTL
Every thursday and Friday. GSTL will be broadcasted with 10 teams.
10 teams will be divided to two groups, 5 teams each. Each league will play full league with top 3 teams advancing to playoff. Total of 20 games will be played. GSTL 'regular' season will be played for 10 weeks.


GSTL PLAYOFF
1st place from group A will play against 3rd place from group B.

Prize money:
1st: 30,000,000 won (~ $27620 USD)
2nd: 15,000,000 won (~ $13810 USD)
Coach award: 5,000,000 won (~ $4600 USD)

i will add on more or clarify if there is anything unclear. i decided not to translate word for word, because i did not want to miss GSTL finals.

i will edit to full translated article later if enough TL'ers ask.


sorry for late edit on the OP. just came home from work. i will continue to edit if i missed something

So who will be the 10th team in GSTL?

San's team? TeamLiquid? There really is no 10th team in SC2 yet after the top nine.

Like the changes. GSTL will be awesome.

I really like the new changes, I believe this will decrease the amount of upsets of top players going down to code A.

You take off 3 zeros.
3000=3. So 30000$ for first, 15k for 2nd and 5k for coach.
(as opposed to 10k 5k 1k now)

Wow, all those changes actually look very good.
winner of code A tournament will automatically get into Code S...best part.

Edit: In skimming through it, I missed the fact that we get way more GSTL. That actually might take it.

The GSTL change is HUGE and will be a great incentive towards stable SC2 teams!!

I also like that the Code A winner automatically goes to Code S. This is because I feel that it's sometimes a bit of an "injustice" since the top 2 of code A will be picking the weaker code S for their group. This means that it's a guarantee that 2 of those weaker code S will keep their spot.

Very nice of gomtv, properly rewards code A winner and also makes up&down matches more fair. I like it.

Also, 5000$ to best coach? SUP

So is the GSL panicking? They must be in trouble if they need foreigners in code S so badly.
