Huk hates the new Code S format, according to his twitter. And apparently he won't be at the selections because he wasn't given enough notice.


Not like he's been to previous group selections.


I love the new format. Weeds out the crap players.
Never make a hydralisk.

I hope the change is there going back to the old Up/Down format T.T was way better, best of 3s in groups of 3 was way better and the better players stayed IN code S!

3rd Place Code S
4th Place Code S
Top 8 Code A

Code A vs 3rd place Code S
Loser vs 4th place Code S

ahh the old days <3


That's not possible if there are 2 Code S spots from MLG & Code A winner. There has to be an outflow of Code S 4th placings, and group stages are the fastest way to do that.


Wasn't much the number side i was basing my old idea on, was the plain reason, best of 3 you have more chance to win than BO1 vs 5 different players (if you have the skill level required)

Like in the old schedule there was hardly any Code A players beating the code S ones, who were good. I.E HuK was in up/down once or twice and always got back in due to beating the Code A player in a BO3 because he is better than Code A, but if he was to go down to UP/Down matches in this schedule they have at the moment i wouldn't feel so good for him just because anyone can all-in you randomly and take a game off you.


That's one of the problems with the current format, too much bo1 stages which leads to too much randomness, and I hope that it will be on of the key points of the new format, less bo1 stages.


OMG finally some one else gets it, i F'n love you <3

Bo1 in Code S group stages is biggest OMGLOLOLOLOL i have ever seen in any tournament T.T

If anything Code A first few rounds should be BO1 groups and Code S should just be a 32 man straight knock out tournament every season none of this BO1 group crap.


Also, the new format seems very different, looks like you go to Code A after you lose in Code S ? xD

Lol, I have a feeling that the Ro16 Code S matches are Bo1 group stages also.


they are.

OK GOM is pretty much trying to get some terrans out of CodeS. The main change is that you CodeS Groupstages #3 and #4 get into the CodeA Tournament.

So now both the Ro32 and Ro16 are group stages. If these group stages are all Bo1s I'll be annoyed.

MC better not fuck around anymore.

He could get a hard group and then get someone like Forgg in the first round...and right back to Code B.

This format is basically saying if you don't make it to Ro8 Code S you have to play games(sorta like up and downs) to ensure your status in Code S next season.

Also not only that, but 3rd place people in Code S are like going to be (normally speaking of level of skill) going to be winning Code A all the time?

I mean HuK MKP Polt JulyZerg all finished 3rd in groups last year (these are the ones i can remember) so im pretty sure they would win/be there abouts in Code A :S making getting out of Code A impossiblez

Getting to the Ro32 in Code A means you have a shot at the Up/Downs

Unless you get to Ro8 in Code S, you are at risk of dropping.
