The changes feels absolutely justified and I felt that this kind of system would be coming at some point atleast.

I was really hoping they did something like this, after it became blatantly obvious from GSTL 2 that Team League is really where all the awesomeness tends to happen. Working with MLG makes a lot of sense as well, since they can effectively get a few good things for everyone: a) a way for someone new to just break into Code S (which is a good thing), b) Koreans travelling outside of Korea and c) foreigners shaking up the Koreans. And we get to let new people have more TV experience weekly.

Should be really, really awesome across the board. We still get a whole lot normal GSL, get a lot of GSTL and get a great 3 day offline tournament in MLG. Gotta give some big props to GOM for pulling all of this off. It's a great time to be a SC fan.

I really hope a non-pansy foreigner team stops whining and just moves to Korea. What will the pricing be for the Team League then?

I guarantee GSTL will boost Gom's popularity since it will be a more consistent league! Pumped!

I'm very glad too have state of the game. You can almost guarentee that what everyone said on SotG was echo'd back to GOM/MLG. Very very sweet.

My exact feelings. Feeling all giggly now that GSTL will be a recurrent thing They must have been doing well.

I'm just curious will GOM still charge for them separately or just the 15 bucks straight up?

dont players in code S get some prize money by default just for being in code S. That inherently increases the prizemoney of the code A tourney final as well as MLG finals no?

WoO! Team league actually getting its rightful place running along side the main tour! We approach BW level more and more... go go SC2!

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

Like the changes. GSTL will be awesome.


Not sure if this was answered, didn't read all 19 pages, but I'd guess san's team New Star HoSeo because they are the only one with a full enough roster. If teamliquid had more players would be cool for them to be in it.

This change is a good idea. They are doing it right imo, now the only other thing they need to do is to improve the price pool of the team league, maybe by lessening GSL's price pool. I think some players in the GSTL deserve much more and if they are being held back, then there is something wrong with the format.

So you have to be top 2 in a group of 5 to get into code S. It seems like its harder to get into Code S now.

Well, the new GSTL prize pool is 45000$. This is pretty cool, as neither code S nor code A had their prize pool reduced...

Group of 4, 5 games played, so I guess it's like MSL where it's
Player 1 vs Player 2 ------ GAME 1
Player 3 vs Player 4 ------ GAME 2
Winner of GAME 1 vs Winner of GAME 2 ------ GAME 3
Loser of GAME 1 vs Loser of GAME 2 ------ GAME 4
Winner of GAME 4 vs Loser of GAME 3 ------ GAME 5
So winner's of game 3 and 5 make it through, with loser of game 4 dropping to Code A and loser of game 5 stays code S.

oh, for up and down matches I think is what you meant, and yea it looks harder.

How does the overlap of code A and code S work? In the first week, they made it clear that there'd be code A @ 1:10, code S @ 6:10. But in week two, they are seemingly scheduled for 6:10 and 7:10.

Can anybody clear that up?
