Jointly between GSL and MLG. | ||

The one thing I am wondering about is how many players will pass on the opportunity to go to Korea. It may very well be worth it to try it out and all, but simply playing in Code A may not be all too appealing for many players with all the other NA/EU tournaments. | ||

GSL pays travel and accommodations for MLG top finishers and Code A/Code S placement. Credit where due, that means a month in Korea playing in a GSL tournament. Hmmm MLG has a better side of this deal. They only need to provide travel & accomodation for a weekend ;P | ||

Because if it is, then there might be up to 8 seeds into the GSL in a single tournament, since there are months where MLG will happen monthly. | ||

If not there will be people there who are fluent in both, Selects English is impeccable, although he'll be too busy pwning face. This is some really amazing news. I'm literally so excited for MLG Columbus now, and for all future GSL's and MLG events. The lineup of Korean players is also really good. Its not the very top players (I was pretty surprised MC isn't there considering how much travelling he's been doing) but Bomber, Losira and MMA are definitely all at least Ro16 and probably all Ro8 material in code S. Two questions that hopefully someone can answer. Where are they finding these spaces for the 4 Koreans? Currently each championship bracket group has 4 players from the top 16 and 1 from the open bracket. Are you just turning the championship bracket into a 24 person bracket or are you changing the system (hopefully you get rid of the guaranteed top 20 finish for the current top 16 it really stops the championship bracket being the 20 best players). Also if one of the Koreans gets into the top 16 (not unlikely), will they be coming back next event as a seed along with 4 other Koreans, or will they take up 1 of the slots? | ||
