Was kind of "to be expected" imo. They started working together with MLG and they probably know very well that only a very select group of foreign players would actually go to play code A for a month.

Very good changed imo. Giving foreigners the opportunity to get into code S and making it less likely for the better players to go down to the up/down matches. And yeah.. GSTL ftw!

YES!
I'd also prefer not to have GSL every month. It isn't so special if you get it every day.

So how does the GSTL league work? If there are two groups of five teams and only twenty matches played, how is that going to work? Is there going to be a round robin in the group and then the playoffs?

Wow, they've really listened to community feedback. Cool changes, especially like the MSL style format. Brood war SL formats are really good

Great change, MSL has been my favorite tournament format this should make for some good stuff in the upcoming season, but honestly I'd be more excited if they had more foreigners competing.

How is the GSTL playoffs going to work exactly? With 6 teams advancing we have a Ro6 into a Ro3 into a round of one and a half? ... which is not correct cause that would be a bit weird!


Could be like Shinhan PL does it.

G1: #3 vs. #6
G2: #4 vs. #5
G3: Winner of G1 vs. Winner of G2
G4: Winner of G3 vs. #2
G5: Winner of G4 vs. #1

Or similar to NFL playoffs:

G1: #3 vs. #6
G2: #4 vs. #5
G3: Winner of G1 vs. #2
G4: Winner of G2 vs. #1
G5: Winner of G3 vs. Winner of G4




This is awesome. All of the changes are. Dual tournament groups is amazing, with so much more potential. GSTL sticking around is awesome. We're starting to see some nice development into a much more fluid format with GSL and a standing for teams in GSTL. Hopefully we see some more regimented team practicing a la BW teams now that there's a team league regularly.


G1: #2 from Group B vs. #3 from Group A
G2: #2 from Group A vs. #3 from Group B
G3: Winner of G1 vs. #1 from Group A
G4: Winner of G2 vs. #1 from Group B
G5: Winner of G3 vs. Winner of G4

Same way they did playoff in IEM V.


except the OP says "1st place from group A will play against 3rd place from group B."
how does a 6 team playoff work when 1st place doesn't get a bye?
1st round:
1A - 3B
2A - 2B
3A - 1B

2nd round has 3 teams remaining with no real seeding? it could be 3B/2A/3A, or 1A/2B/1B.
in the case of 3/3/2, you can have the two 3's play and the winner plays against 2 for Gold/Silver.
but in the case of 1/1/2, how would you decide which 1 plays for Bronze? what if both 1s have the same W/L?
