With the addition of KeSPA players on top of all the eSF pros who fight tooth and nail for a Code S spot, the removal of (I count) 4 Code S players and several Code A/S has-beens will not hurt the depth of GSL too much. Sure. But we could just as well argue that a bigger group of elite players would create a super-tier of Code S and Code A becoming just as good as Code S previously was (which is sort of what happened in the last season). But let's hope you're right here. | ||

Having the completely same pricepool for 3 regions that aren't even remotely close in skill was probably not the wisest choice . | ||

According to Ethan Ahn (posted in the thread listing all the switches) there is something interesting about the MC/Hyun situation that he would like someone to translate. I'm not fluent enough in Korean to be able to read it myself, but I'm assuming there is either some kind of special deal or some rule that allows MC to switch because he played earlier than X date (I'm pulling ideas out of my ass here), or MC didn't understand the rules. But yes, that'd what it looks like. | ||

I agree... You KNOW a lot of the guys in the Up/downs usually could have been code S if it wasn't for the insane surplus of godly players... | ||
