Overview

Code A: at a Glance

What is Code A?

The easiest way to describe Code A is that it is a qualifying tournament for Code S. All of the games are still televised and commentated. The top 4 players then go on to play in the Up & Down Matches to see whether they will either stay in Code A, have to re-qualify, or play in the next Code S.

What is the format?

GSL Code A is quite simply a 32 man tournament. All matches until the semi-finals are played as a best-of-3 series. The semi-finals are a best-of-5 series. The Finals are played as a best-of-7 series.

How do the players qualify?

The new players in Code A have had to cross one of three ways to be in the tournament.

The first and most common way is that they won an offline qualifer (commonly known as Code B). The thread on that is located above.

The second way is they were invited by GOM. MajorLeagueGaming (MLG) has a partnership with GOM where the top players from each MLG event will get an invite to play in this tournament.

The third way is they were previously in Code S and lost the Up & Down Matches.

Code S: at a Glance

What is Code S?
Code S is roughly speaking is the "premier" league of a regular season of GSL. There is more money involved and generally speaking, a higher skill average than any other Korean Starcraft II Tournament.

What is the format?

The format of Code S is different than Code A. It starts with 32 players, 4 players in 8 different groups. The top 2 players then advance to the round of 16. The round of 16 and round of 8 are played as a best of 3 series. The semi-finals (round of 4) are played as a best of 5. The finals are then played as a best of 7.
