Highly unlikely, but it'd be amazing if Curious managed to qualify now that Code A exists again. THE GATEKEEPER

To be fair, the new Code A is just like Group Stage 1 of previous Code S, so he should be the player to beat in the Code A qualifers now, not in actual Code A

Dark and ByuN lost their seeding matches, which presumably means that they will be opponents of seeded players in code a. So TY, Maru, Stats could draw them and we would see some early eliminations of top players.

possibly to divide the 16 players in 4 tiers:

-4 players from day 1
-4 winners bracket winners from day 2
-4 winners bracket losers from day 2
-4 players from losers bracket from day 2

so they have their usual 4 tiers to build up the groups/bracket/whatever

And those 16 players play in groups GSL style and 8 advance right?

yes regarding to the 8 players advancing to Code S.

we don't have any additional info on the format yet, we only have this atm:

(Wiki)File:ESL Pro Tour Season 2021-22 - GSL Format.png

it being single-elimination bo5 probably means the old 1v1 x 8 matches and the winner moves on but with gsl you never know right?

trying to get "insider" info on it atm

I am happy that Percival and Prince made it.

I don't quite understand with the Code A system. Whoever lost in Code A, do they remain there until the next season?
Rogue & Maru fan boy. ^^

So the seeded players in Code A are:

(T)Cure
(Z)DongRaeGu
(T)Maru
(Z)RagnaroK
(T)TY
(P)Stats
(P)PartinG
(P)sOs

And they will be matched up against:

(P)Creator
(T)Bunny
(Z)Dark
(P)Hurricane
(T)ByuN
(P)Prince
(T)SpeCial
Percival

Potential for some pretty crazy Bo5's already in Code A.

I wonder if they will draw the opponents or decide match-ups based on 2020 GSL standings.

Tier 1 players who have to face Dark or ByuN would be pretty happy !!

Some big names will be missing in the next Code S!

I wish Code A was a group stage or double elimination, seems pretty silly how easily you can get knocked out if you get an unlucky draw

Bring back the Up And Down Matches! Pretty sure Life's royal road went through the up and down matches, I think he lost to Leenock in Code A
