It's actually from the TL thread. But I think they are not as clear as mine
(based on the visual style of the OSL FAQ):

This one is the most understandable for me. Pretty well done. I knew already 90% of how it was going to work next year. But this made it 100% clear.
I had a good night of sleep.

I was looking at the charts last night and i understand how they work but my question is what do we have left to be played before the 4th season. is there going to be a preliminaries and code S replacement matches or will that happen next season? Is the already set groups that were drawn last night going to be the official players in the 4th GSL correct? Thats what Im thinking i guess because we used last 3 GSLs to determine code placements but i just wanted to check to make sure i fully understand.

So there's 32 Code S player and each season 6 on average will swap with Code A.
That seems like an incredibly slow speed of replacement in my opinion.
We're going to get the same players in the tournaments for years.

will tastosis cast both code a and code s? will gsl hire more english casters? and if yes, whats the system for determining caster places in the gsl leagues?
All what KT currently needs is a Zerg and a second Terran

The system is pretty straightforward; no idea what some of you are talking about. The diagram in the first post makes it look more complex than it is.

This. Just look at the Reddit picture. It is a very simple relegation/promotion system to make sure the best players don't get bounced totally out of Code S for doing poorly and have to re-qualify through prelims, BUT while still leaving qualifying as a viable option to someone who is really good AND replacing the consistent underperformers.

its chopped up more then it needed to be, but in essence its a KO system tournament with previous groupstages including relegation.

Has alot in common with Ice hockey Worldchampionships if i remmeber correctly

I don't like the fact that there is a huge advantage in finishing 3rd over finishing 4th in the initial group stage of the Code S tournament - considering after the top 8 seeds, the groups are all randomly generated and these group stage games are all Bo1. There is just too much luck involved.

It's also odd that they reserve 4 spots in code A for foreigners. It's good that they want to keep the tournament diversified but it would be more fair for all newcomers to have to go through the preliminary offline tournament to qualify for code A. Though, the flip side of this is that currently qualified players have a little bit too much protection. It would take at least two seasons for a Korean newcomer to qualify for Code S.

Also, does anyone know if the 4 reserved Code A spots account for foreigners who already qualified for code A (in this case, Ret) ?

Looks like 2x the games at least, my only concern will be if they put them on gom tv for people to view, not just the streams.

Thanks for the flow charts, Adun
