They announced that there will be no European seed this time. And there'll be 29 players from the qualifier.

Ah, so the "cause schedules" was supposed to mean "due to scheduling conflicts we will not have a EU seed this time, and reroute that to an extra spot in qualifiers".... okay.

but yea, source plox. gotta see it myself to believe it.

So the seeds didn't go to the players with the most WCS points, still nice seeds, can't complain .
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Still dont know, if any player can play Starleague and Gsl at same time. Hopefully no.

That's the whole purpose of this, more tournaments for the koreans, so yes


Yeah i know, but i mean in 1 season its like u are playing in WCS EU and NA in 2014 at same time, it would be so unfair for foreigners, so it would be only fine if a player can play either GSL or SSL in 1 season. Otherwise the region lock made no sense at all.


It is also many times harder to succeed in either of the leagues, let alone both. There's a tradeoff between difficulty and rewards, and the Korean dual league system seems rather fair in that light. Besides, anyone who wish to participate may attempt to do so by participating in the qualifiers.


On the one hand, it would be quite nice to diversify the scene a bit - to have 2 separate sets of Ro. 16 players for example would double the exposure available, and avoid the "problem" of seeing Zest, soO, Rain etc. in both tournaments, especially in a time when the Korean scene is so packed with talent all down the roster.

On the other, I admire the mindset that you have to be the best to get recognised.

Personally, I do think that it's a problem that it's so tilted towards the top end in Korea in terms of televised matches at the moment, if only for the developing scene. I'd love to see Code A back as a proper tournament

you have to be in korea for like 4 months... so if a foreigner wants to make money he has to win the whole tournament. But tbh I can understand why they want to exclude foreigners if they expect non-koreans to be like Idra or naniwa

My best guess is this:

Easiest to work backwards.
4 semifinalists from S1 are seeded directly into the Ro. 16, so 12 players come from the preceding round.
This suggests that the previous round is a Ro. 28 (6 groups of 4, plus the 4 in the Ro. 16), of which 4 are from the S1 Ro. 8

So this means that Challenger is made up of:
4 Ro. 16 seeds (skipping Challenger games)
4 Challenger seeds
4 Global seeds
16 Qualifiers

How the 24 players from S1 Challenger and Ro. 16 fit into the S2 qualifiers is going to be weird (seeded in so fewer qualifying matches possibly?). And how 4 players are going to be seeded into 6 groups fairly is puzzling.
The whole system is pretty mental unless there's something I'm missing

I did it by changing the ro16 to a ro20 lol, 4 groups of 5 players each, round robin, 5th place in the group gets no points
it'll have to do for now I guess, although I feel uneasy about how the seeded player might not get points for the next season even though maybe they're supposed to, but if I give points to 5th place then it increases the number of points that the tournament gives, so that's wrong too
hopefully they tell us how it's gonna work soon lol
