Now that I think about it, that number makes no sense. Didn't Barracks get to the finals before going down 1-2? He's counting Qualifications - Attempts

ganzi should 888 and pray to Flash.

When gsl champion quality players have an issue getting through the qualifiers you know there is a problem. I'm not even sure what the problem is, perhaps the fact they dont give people time to know who they are facing, map pool...I dont know but it is something. It's an incredibly straightforward system. Tournament style, best player on the day wins. There are no excuses for these "better" players losing; it is their fault, not the system's. The gsl in code a and code s have extensive systems to allow the better player to win. Win once in code a and you are in the gsl next season no matter what. You know your opponents ahead of time, a shot in the up and downs if they lose. Code s has groups with multiple best of 3s, top 8 stay in code s, and so on. Code b the brackets are made on the spot, no prepare time for specific opponents, simple best of 3 format is far weakest at producing the best players consistently than all the rest of the gsl. Code A and S have a set group of players. Code B is an open qualifier. So the point about Code A and S having a system to keep players in isn't relevant. Best of 3 isn't ideal, obviously, but you have to consider time constraints, man power, and player fatigue. I doubt the players want to play 3, maybe 4 Bo5s or 7s just to get into Code A. It would also take forever to finish the qualifiers. Almost all qualifiers, even from BW days, are held in this manner, maybe with minor changes here and there. Upsets happen. Even at his peak Bisu constantly bombed out of OSL early or in the qualifiers. It's not strange at all. The Bisu point just proves its a flaw in the system. I feel there must be some creative solution when the gsl is one giant creative system to improve this some what. Letting people know their brackets a week in advance, for example would help. The purpose of open qualifiers is to allow lesser known players and players who aren't deemed Top players a shot at making it to the big time. A lot of the best players now surfaced from Code B and other qualifiers, beating players they shouldn't have beaten. Guess what, they beat them and have now proven themselves to be better, their first step being Code B. If you want a system that ensures that consensus "best" players ALWAYS advance, then you want a tournament with only invites. This kind of circlejerk is terrible for the scene because it is stagnant. I have no idea what invites has to do with getting the best players...invites typically means getting the 'not' best players.

This was in their announcement, though
Priority for registration will be given to these players in sequential order:
1. ESF Players 2. KeSPA Players 3. Masters league players with at least 200 points (by April 1st, 12:00 PM KST)
I guess anyone can sign up and you can get pushed out by priority. I suppose it doesnt say restricted

Unless the names in hangul mean something, I'm pretty sure Stork is basically given Code A with these brackets.

Wow that stat is brutal then.

priority, but brackets never fill so basically everyone can sign up

For afternoon, I'm hoping for:
I - Dream or Tassadar or Zero or CrazyMoving J - Hydra or GGandol (he returns!) K - Genius L - Inca M - Shine or Sparta N - Reality or Hwansin O - Lucky

Step 1: Look at the players with the best win rates Step 2: Invite them all Step 3: Look at the hottest up and coming players Step 4: Invite them all
All qualifiers will have shocks no matter what kind of open bracket system you have. Be glad this isn't single elim March Madness style.

Shouldn't it be 2 then, since both Crazy-Hydra and Flash made it through the prelims?
