Look at the schedule of when F.United is playing. They don't play until the 6th week. Finals aren't until the end of August. | ||

1. Will GSL July proceed as normal with only 1 invitation being given to SaSe? 2. If the 3rd place seed goes to Sheth, will he be able to use it for the July Code A as his team will be there during that period or will he be forced to take it in August to keep things consistent? 3. Since the seeds are being pushed back a season, does MMA get a Code S seed since GSL August can accommodate the MLG winner? If anyone can answer now, it'll be great. Otherwise, I'll wait patiently for the answer. Either way really great to hear. | ||

I believe they have sase as well from that swedish tournament. Plus there is the 3rd foreigner that is joining them as well... so there should be 6 in total. | ||

Actually if you look at the schedules, it seems that SaSe probably won't join the team, unless he stays for 2 seasons. This is because he's going to be going in GSL July (although this hasn't really been confirmed in light of the recent arrangement. Quoting from the MLG announcement: "Dignitas.Naniwa and MouzThorzain will be competing in GSL Code A August and will also participate in the August GSTL" It looks like GSL are pushing back the MLG seeds 1 season to accommodate Naniwa and Thorzain's schedule. Which leads to the third seed. The MLG announcement says that the player has accepted his seed but they haven't announced it yet. I'm just speculating, but could it be that this player is Sheth and the reason they're not announcing him yet is that they want to work out the details of his seed? Does he get seeded into GSL July (since FXO play then)? Or does he get seeded into GSL August (since the other seeds are going that month)? Definitely should wait on more details, but it's just interesting, as if they push back the seeds by 1 season, it should make a spot available for the winner of MLG Columbus to get the Code S seed in GSL August (and the winner of Anaheim takes the seed in GSL October). *shrug* | ||

- F.United doesnt play till week 6? That's one and a half months wait. - Group A is stacked while group B is super weak - Why can't all teams play each other like in Proleague? (rather see more GSTL than GSL). | ||

But I guess they don't want it to run forever. Especially since they can only broadcast twice a week. | ||

That's interesting, cus in spanish we learned that the spanish names for days were also based on the planets Edit: Oh the third player will probably be Slush, they might not be announcing yet maybe cus Slush is undecided? (slush got the furthest if you look at the brackets, slightly ahead of ret and haypro) | ||

(rather see more GSTL than GSL). 1) This schedule was clearly made so that Naniwa and Thorzain do not have to go to Korea for another month and a half (since they have other events coming up that would conflict with them being able to play in the GSTL at all if they had to be there a month and a half earlier. 2) This is unfortunate, but it was clearly not intentional as it was based off seeding, and at least it means we will get to see the members of F.United go up against the very best in Korea week in and week out. 3) There's simply too many teams for that to happen. This is the best way. Besides, the best 3 teams from each division have a chance to meet each other in the playoffs anyway. | ||

How much will the season ticket cost? Who's going to be casting? Who is the 3rd Code A invitation going to? Why is the schedule so odd looking? It makes for very odd, unbalanced schedule requirements for the teams... can't wait! | ||
