Be cool if one of the spots could be a fan vote, maybe something to consider if there are overlaps or if you decide to add a few more players. Well sounds good either way.

Yeah man, Destiny would do really well >_>

See the problem with popularity based invites?

I doubt destiny would win, or it could easily be restricted to players that have participated in gom tournaments only or something.

Well, I'd rather have the invites be based on merits rather than popularity. We will have to gree to disagree on that

YEAHH!! Mr Chae you are awesome!! This looks like one of the best tournaments of all SC2 history, too bad only 10 players, but taking account that it's the best 10 players of the world it's ok!

On SotG last week they were talking about how we don't really have a single tournament that is considered the World Championship. This sounds like exactly what the doctor ordered.

Looks like an awesome tourney! (Kinda like AOL, but players aren't picked so arbitrarily)

Theoretically WCG should be considered the eSports world cup

This is an awesome idea, inviting the winners of tournaments around the world. Should be some really top end competition!

The concepts for GSL 2012 are:
1. More chances
2. Prove yourself
3. Are you qualified to stay in Code S?

I also like the sound of this, sounds like the turnover for Code S will be quicker meaning there will be a better chance for rising players to make it in Code S and insert new blood into the sytem.

Doubling the turnover chance could be good. Instead of 8 players falling to up and down, 16, for example. That would mean everyone who failed to advance to Ro16.

Edit: the Format for the MSL was that top 8 would be seeded, everyone else would drop sown into Survivor which would be equivalent to up and down.

mr chae, why so sexy???

also, I think what the GSL needs is less chances, in order to make them special to win like an OSL... winning an OSL is an incredible achievement, I hope GSL can have the same value one day.

I think what GOM should look into is other tournaments and also into expanding the GSTL into a long season format like the proleague. In addition, while the Code S/Code A/Code B format makes sense and is clearly deliniated at this point, I'm starting to wonder what would happen if we let some of the young guns have a straight shot at the title instead of stuffing them into code A.... I think Code B and Code A should be a long offline/online prelim and the best 16 out of that go onto the main GSL with the top 16 from the previous GSL, somewhat alike to the current MSL format.
