Well, it can't get any better than this right?^^
Congratulations that all your hard work pays off Diamond! I always love to watch your Weeklies and see players play your awesome maps, and now they will really start to train your maps ![](/mirror/smilies/smile.gif)
+ Show Spoiler + Just make sure to never use Testbug again or we will see even less Protoss in GSL ![](/mirror/smilies/puh2.gif)

Niiice.
It's been a nice small tournament with some good talent so far. This announcement should get rid of many of the no-shows and cause the player pool to grow by quite a bit. Good stuff, Diamond.
Questions: You said there's a rule book and not everyone can enter - can we read up on the requirements for players anywhere?
And is any un-coded player eligible for the spot (nationality- and team-wise speaking)?

What happens if the winner is already "coded" ? Would the first uncoded take the spot ? Yep. On September 08 2011 18:23 Asha` wrote: So sick, such an amazing tournament and I'm so glad you guys have made this happen! =)
I do have a question about what this means for the scope of entrants now? We've still had a good number of Code S/A participants lately, will they still be allowed to compete if winning gets you a code A spot, or will we see it become exclusive to code B? Code A/S players are welcome, if the winner of the monthly is coded, the 2nd place gets it, if he is coded then 3rd gets it, etc, etc. If you didn't see my post on the last page, please spoiler the day 2 up and down results in your post, it's been less than 24 hours and it'd suck for someone who was trying to avoid them. It's been 24 hours, I'm pretty sure that's long enough. Well 24 hours might be enought for not getting a warning here or something but it still would be nice to spoiler it. I think for a tournament that a lot of people here watch over vod's, cause of the time its casted, 24 hours is not enough though. Give it 48 or 72 hours. Well for me the damage is done I got spoilered. ![](/mirror/smilies/frown.gif) I tried to warn him -_- Adding " (Spoiler)" in the same line of the spoiler doesn't really help Diamond. Just change Jjakji's description to something else if you don't wanna use spoilers. And your description of him is wrong anyway. He made Top 8, not Top 4 of Code A.
This anti-spoiler of multiple days is insane. 12 or so hours I get, but no way I'm missing the chance to point out the largest success story of the Korean Weekly in Jjakji for a result that is already about a day old. Sorry but I'm not spoilering it since it's been so long.

Is anyone eligible to enter? And is any un-coded player eligible for the spot?
Yeah I'm pretty sure the no-show/small brackets day is dead.

It hasn't even been 20 hours. That's less than a day. You've already spoiled the results for one person. Do you want it to happen to more people?
I could understand if it was 24 hours, but under a day is not cool.

Agree with Diamond on the spoiler front - people need to stop being so squeamish about these things. It's been a day, it's not a big deal, get over it. You'll live.

Once again, had it been a day, I'd have no problem with it. But it hasn't even been 20 hours.

Sweeeeet.
I really like the Korean Weeklies and this will definitely make them even more interesting than they already are.
|
Well I'm going to go lay down and watch GSL, been a stressful day and a half (this was supposed to be announced yesterday but got missed T_T) so I am in desperate need of sleep.
Please leave any other questions or whatever, rest assured I will read every post in this thread

Holy fucking hell. Been watching iCCup.tv broadcasts since last year and have loved every series that's been done. Love how this new independence seems to be leading to even better stuff.
|
Sounds great. These stakes should really create some high interest and high level games in your tourney since Code A is so hard to get into. Keep up the good work!
|
This has to be the hardest way to get Code A.
Still great news.

Hooray for iccup and esv tv! Awesome news!

wooooooohoooooo gogogo diamond, esvtv and gomtv

Awesome news for not only a hardworking dude in Diamond, but also for the Korean SC2 scene! More things like this make it more likely for foreigners to train and play in Korea!

such good news

Great news As I understand this does every week award a non-Code A to winner(or top placed "Code B" player).
This is great that every Code B player will have 4 chances to get invited into Code A every session roughly.
That will mean there will be less spots in GSL Code A qualifier. 16 total new Code players, -3 MLG spots, -4 Korean weekly spot.
I think this quite good, only think that is a bit worrying if there are too Code A and Code S players that will kick out the Code B players. And this would result in lower chance to find the best Code B player worthy of a Code A spot.
But in general I feel this more fair way for consistent player to be able to get Code A.

I hope you're keeping the Strong team color mod that made everything look better.

wow this is awesome. good job diamond

This is amazing and you guys totally deserve all the good things you get. I don't know who else is involved but Diamond and Orb are both amazing at what they do. Keep up the good work guys more things will come your way!
