Major changes. Need some time to digest all this info and imagine what it's going to be like. MLG-Code S is a bit confusing along with up-down matches.

I don't think their panicking but I'm sure they are under pressure on their players - if you're eliminated early, there is basically nothing to do for a whole month. They also see the lucrative prizes they can win around the world.

Also, nothing wrong with making changes to make the format even better!

I love how GOMTV are constantly listening and improving.
Each season, they listened the critics and improved accordingly. We need to realize we're very lucky to have a company like GOM taking care of the business.

Wow. I love those changes. The team league and individual changes are amazing.

Winning Code A has a lot of worth now and winner of MLG going straight into Code S!!!!

Also 10 teams? I can only really think of 9 teams with enough players unless they introduce a "Foreigners" team where all the foreigners out there at the time compete?

This sounds like some very good changes. Code S becoming more stable is good for the most consistent players. While storylines like MVP in Code A were initially interesting, I don't think anyone expected him to stay out for very long. This lets the best earn more money, which is certainly good for the scene over there.

The GSTL changes are really great. Having it run longer with more matches is superb. It will allow teams to showcase their non-GSL talent more often, which is fantastic for fans. Code A/S players will have a tougher time, but it lets the scene over there diversify.

I don't see a bad thing about this.

Are you serious? Please explain how can giving away 1 spot in code s for foreigners mean that GOM is panicking and in trouble. 1000 word ESSAY NOW!

GSTL & GSL is only becoming better. Insane.

If they ask to trow all my money at them, I probably will.

No. GSL and MLG have a player exchange. GSL sends some of their top players to America for MLG events. In return, winners of MLG get to play in Code S.

Giving champions of MLG a Code A spot is silly. No one would go because winning Code A, as it is, is super difficult and the winner only gets $1,500. Getting into Code S gives you a chance to be on the biggest stage in the world, a chance at big prize money, and a comfy living. If you can keep afloat in Code S, you'll be getting nice amount of money every month.

Too bad Ret and Haypro left Korea. TeamLiquid could have had a good shot at qualifying for GSTL. They could have flown over some of their other players to compete.

this is great news considering i enjoy the GSTL way more than the GSL lol
i'd rather see GSTL than up/down matches
also the MSL format is way better than their current one

looking forward to the mma/dongraegu ace match tonight!

I'm not too fond of them slotting people into Code S based on results in other tournaments. I understand why they're doing it, but it seems a bit unfair to all people trying to get into code S via code A.

The team league is awesome news though, been waiting for this for so long! Going to be absolutely awesome to have team games on a regular basis!

Got to be honest though, I am confused by most of the other changes. Not with the logic, just do not understand what all it entails.

Feels like we need Motbob in here.....

Winner of MLG getting right into Code S, coupled with making it harder to actually slip out of Code S might just be enough to entice foreigners to actually go to Korea.

The 10th team will probably be HoSeo. They have San and BansBans. The only other teams beside them to even have players in the GSL are TeamLiquid and Fox.
