Sounds pretty good, especially the regular GSTL part.
What I don't like is that the road through Code A is even harder now and Code S even heavier seeded. On the other hand this might make it more attractive for foreigners because it's easier to stay in but hopefully the competition will not suffer.

I hope every team league match will have Tastosis, but I can imagine them having the code A casters commentate the weekly team league.

Not a matter of needing them badly as much as it is a matter of wanting them badly. Pretty sure foreigners in the GSL sky rocket their foreigner numbers, and they know the top foreigners can compete well, so it is win win.
We talkin about PRACTICE

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?


What I wrote is correct. OP is wrong. Source is linked in OP.

Edit: It seems there will also be 3rd/4th place match if you look at the schedule.

This is stupid, with or without foreigners GSL is still good, like gstl tonight is so exciting and there's no foreigners at all. Even without viewers from Europe or USA, there's still tons of people watching GSL from Asian which doesn't include Korea. This suit Asia time zone, there's no need to even try to get white dudes in. The addition of MGL is giving players more chances to play. Panicking my ass.

Does anyone else think that these changes starting in July will be a very interesting thing? Especially with the GSTL every week, it is going to be interesting what new talent comes into the market following the contractual mixups that result in the Brood War scene.

Code S bottleneck is still as painful as ever, I would prefer a few seeded players for Code S and just qualifier tournaments for Code S, but whatever.

GSTL on the other hand is awesome news. As much as GOM's decisions bother me, they are at least moving in the right direction, much earlier than I expected too. Hyped about the regular league.
