Yay! so this is like proleague basically. Pretty awesome stuff.

Not sure if they'll play the regular proleague format (winner doesn't stay) or winner league format though. Personally would like a standard proleague format so we get to see more players for the regular season at least. Then maybe a winners league for the playoffs


I also hope for a standard league format through the whole team league.

One thing I would add is that it would be AWESOME if you can put the code a finals on the same day as the code s finals, difference being code A is played in the morning with a break for the code S finals. Would definitely make me happier going to the tournaments

GSTL is 13 weeks long daamn! I think it might be a little too long though. A lot can change in that much time, and it covers almost three regular GSLs. I might prefer to see two GSTLs in that time.

But props to GOM for making these changes, especially the up/down changes.

Amazing stuff!!!
GomTV are really so good, I just Blizzard would listen as much as them haha.

Anyway with all these things they have going on they should maybe think of implementing full access annual passes to the SC2 footage instead of making us buy them 1 by 1?

Nice that they mix things around to get the pro play (Code A/S) with some fun play (team league). TL surprise based match-ups makes it quite entertaining even if not so accurate when it comes to showing the entire range on player skill (not much about strategy, preparation). Can't wait.

For anyone that doesn't understand Dual Tournament:

Game 1. Player A vs Player B
Game 2. Player C vs Player D

Player A wins
Player C wins

Player A: 1:0
Player B: 0:1
Player C: 1:0
Player D: 0:1

Game 3. Player A vs Player C
Game 4. Player B vs Player D

Player A wins
Player B wins

Player A: 2:0
Player B: 1:1
Player C: 1:1
Player D: 0:1

Game 5. Player B vs Player C

Player B wins


Player A: 2:0
Player B: 2:1
Player C: 1:2
Player D: 0:1

Player A and B advance
Player C stays in Code S
Player D will play in Up and Down matches.

Basically, now every game is exciting. Games 1 and 2 give the winners a guaranteed spot in Code S still as they cannot get knocked out entirely. Game 3 determines who advances immediately without having to play another game. Game 4 works out who gets knocked into Up and Down matches, the other person gets a chance to advance. Game 5 works out who of the last two advance to the next round.

Every round now has significance and benefit, unlike the old system which was weird and had alternating numbers of games, and was just confusing and stupid.

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


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


So essentially a double elimination tournament through each group, it sounds much more interesting than the format they have now.

GSTL PLAYOFF
1st place from group A will play against 3rd place from group B.


Am I reading this incorrectly? Shouldn't a 6-team playoff begin with a set of crossover series between the 2nd and 3rd seeds of the two pools to determine who makes the semifinals?

But overall, these are some really dope changes.
