I hope MMA earns Code S because of this. Cool as it would be to see Naniwa or someone out there, MMA has already proven he can compete at that level and his up/down matches were rough.

Excuse me while I go explode into rainbows... that is just too exciting.

I've always been a GSL subscriber... but I think MLG just made a lifetime subscriber out of me as well!

This is sick! The prize if you win the MLG is unreal hell of a lot of money, MLG title and going to Code S.

Thanks to all you guys for putting this together - I'm really excited for this.

On a different note: @MLGClap? I really hope you guys make fun of this guy in your office for choosing a VD as his ID.

Hahaha

It was my forum tag when I was a wee lad and was meant to be an applause reference, not the STD. Oh how the decisions of one's youth can bite you in the ass.

I wish they could have come up with change to the format to accommodate this that didn't mean even less players from the open bracket advance. :/

Really awesome otherwise though.

I was already planning to go watch Columbus live, but now i'm really stoked!!! If the stream works without too many problems, this event will be quite epic all around.

All the best, MLG!

This. IS. HUGE.

From the beginning to end of that post, my mind could only muster a "NO WAY".
This is going to be awesome.

*Still going to be overshadowed by the relay race though*

Sounds amazing.

What happens if the person who qualifies for GSL decides to turn down the offer? For example, I know IdrA recently left Code S, what's to say that he would want to go back having qualified for Code A? Does the offer just keep bouncing down to the next highest person who accepts?

I just hope the stream works and it'll be a fantastic event.

So no one has really asked yet but, how do you just throw 1 more guy into a 32man tournament(GSL code S)?

For those like me who are curious about how the GSL will change it's format, Chae just replied with

"as u predict we will change our format slightly. We will announce that on 19 may."

With that said this is great and I'm 100x more happier that GOMTV got control of SC2 in Korea because they truly do their best to cater to the global scene. Can't wait for MLG now!

This is amazing, such cool news to hear about the scenes spilling over, especially for Lan events.

I'm not too sure about getting put straight in Code S though, Code S is supposed to be an achievement.. I get you have to be good to win the MLG, but I don't know.

Still so cool!

While this is awesome news, because it is, I'd rather seen a cooperation with ESL. MLG is massively flawed in favour to those who competed last year, it's insanely rough for new players to get to the championship pools and make top4. There's just so many sick good players that won't get in due to their system. Yeah they can always pull a Naniwa, but that's asking for a lot.

Awesome!!! Can't wait to see foreigners get their full shot at the gsl with automatic qualifiers. Thats huge respect for gsl to give away these spots guaranteed. I hope that the foreigners who qualify do great in code a
