if winner of MLG declines to get into GSL, it will be given to runner up

what if runner up of mlg declines too?

Oh shit, GSL Just Got Real. GSTL Changes are gonna be so incredibly sick. GSTL and EGMC on Friday nights might end up making me a cave-dweller but its worth it. Also I like the Up-down changes that put more focus on winning code A instead of making ro8. Though its kind of unfortunate for the Jinros and Boxers we all want to see back in code S ASAP.

Then 3rd place gets it, as originally stated in the GSL/MLG Exchange.

Code S status will be awarded to the highest placing player, within the Top 3, regardless of country of origin, who does not already have Code S status.

In the event there is no MLG, the Code S will be given by wild-card.


thats a pretty weird thing. Give a spot in the up/downs, not Code S directly...

Code S
tournament will be changed to 'dual tournament' style.

This is same style that is currently used @ MSL round of 32.

basically there will be only 5 matches per group; where only 4th place will get knocked out of code S. first and second place will advance while 3rd place staying in code S.


So will it now be Winner vs Winner and Loser vs Loser in the second round of each group? That would be so much better

I just notice that there wont be anymore match on Saturday (beside the final)

pretty strange

also there will be 3 group of 5 each in the up & down match, wonder how they will divide the group, whether its based on random draw or seed

Put quote here for readability

Perfect changes IMO. They have properly addressed almost every issue I had.

I'm also excited that the MLG winner gets Code S, hopefully we'll see some of the big foreign names in the upcoming GSL seasons now, instead of random players scrubbing it up in Code A because no one can be bothered.

Short writeup for those who don't understand the format changes:

Code S Group League Match Format Change
- Pre-existing GOMTV League Format -> Dual Tournament Format
- Group stage games will always have 5 sets and the last game will be the deciding game for 2nd and 3rd Place.
- From each group, 3rd Place will stay in Code S and 4th Place will go through Up and Down Match.
- 1st and 2nd Place from each Group will advance to Ro16

+ Show Spoiler +
In short, the format used in MSL Round of 32.

Game 1: Player A vs Player B
Game 2: Player C vs Player D
Game 3: Winner of Game 1 vs Winner of Game 2
Winner of Game 3 takes top spot.
Game 4: Loser of Game1 vs Loser of Game 2
Loser of Game 4 takes last place.
Game 5: Loser of Game 3 vs Winner of Game 4
Winner of Game 5 takes 2nd and Loser of Game 5 takes 3rd

+ Show Spoiler [Still not clear? Here's an exam…] +

Game 1: Player A > Player B
Game 2: Player C < Player D
Game 3: Player A < Player D
Game 4: Player B > Player C
Game 5: Player A < Player B

Standings:
1st Player D
2nd Player B
3rd Player A
4th Player C

Wow the good news just keep on coming in the sc2 community ^^

I suppose this will make the MLG winner more likely to go to korea?

+ Teamleauges every week is just gravy

This is exactly what they needed to do! This makes it hard to turn down foreigner invites, rather then getting into a 1 month qualifier (code a) you auto seeded into code S, which only has 1 spot to go to up and down (4th in groups). bravo gom, bravo

Really the only major problem i have with this is sometimes giving a random wildcard to Code S. Otherwise the changes seem very good and will help many of the problems that have arisen in GSL this year.

I really really like these changes, only problem I see is some scrubs staying in Code S and pros not making it from Code A.
This is our town, scrub
