This is cool. More winner's league. We will see way more players, way more games, I like the MSL format, so it's a plus they took that too. And more foreigners too!

Gogo GSL!

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

Very interesting. They're making space for GSL and moving a group play system for up and down. This seems like it'll limit the volatility of Code S by limiting the amount of people from code S playing in the up and down, while not actually changing the possible code S turnover rate. Group play also seems to be aiming to be a fairer way to determine who advances, with no more "weakest players picked by code A champions and sneaking back into code S" shenanigans happening.

The group play seems like it'll give chances for people like IMMVP to stay in code S by doing some code A stomping instead of losing code S status so easily if they have 2 off days.

Something that's not clear: "15 players will play in 5 player group with top two players in the group advancing to code S." => That means only 6 players (3 groups x 2 players each) get into code S. Even adding MLG champion to that it only means 7 players get into code S. A translation mistake or my math is bad?

The GSTL seems like they're trying to make it so that all teams, no matter how big or small, get a chance to play and maybe upset the top dogs. If I'm not mistaken, isn't Liquid in the top 10 with the current team qualification system? But it seems more like the 10 teams will be chosen through invitation only, with Liquid being excluded since they don't have enough players. They're really trying to avoid another IM situation.

All in all, some interesting changes to shake up the system, patching up holes here and there. I can even see a slight change that might make it so that they could insert another code S invite in the future by limiting the Up and Down group play by one more spot. Maybe NASL can start negotiating, as they seem to be the only other regularly happening league.

EDIT: Wow, idiocy here. Missed that code A champion is sent into code S directly. Durrr.

So up/down feature goes, 8 players go to up down, 6 come back from the matches, 7th is the Code A winner and 8th is the MLG seed. Correct?

So pumped for the team league, the games are always so epic, hopefully will get more viewers for them!

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

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?


uuum

Need some info on how payment is going to work now, I'm assuming there'll be 10 bucks for both GSL and GSTL, how about package deals and stuff seeing how its all sorta mashed together.
Love is more fun than hate.
