but just a bit more of a glare and it all made sense hehe :-), the format seems pretty good imo.

Gonna have to wait and see this in action. Should be good though, less safety means more and better practice.

Awwww, but now getting code S will be much easier.

I won't be able to laugh at foreigners if they don't get Code S

Good change overall

Uhh, wow. Really complex, but I think I like it from what I can understand. It sounds like the code s players will be rotating more and it will be easier to get new rising talent into Code S, so thats good.

I love it, this looks amazing! The simplified version of it really made it clear to me how this whole system works.

Very interesting. Certainly will be more turnover. I wish they played out all of Code A though.

Confusing just like GomTV likes to be but a good format to be honest. GomTV may have outdone themselves again!

i made a thread a while ago almost outlining how a new system such as this would be great for the GSL, however one problem

in my thread i said that it would make it way more exciting if the top2 code a players, after advancing far enough, could somehow get placed into the code S ro2 with the top4 code S players. then you play a new ro4 with 2 Code S players and 2 Code A players and have a nice fun underdog/favorite matchup and then you might get the possibility of some Code A player running through everything and winning the tournament

that would be a exciting possibility but this format doesnt allow this sadly

Thats stupid. People would intentionally drop to Code A to play the easier tourney and it invalidates the 3rd/4th placing Code S players.

Interesting staying in Code A is much easier... all you need to do is win 1 BO3 and you are freerolling to Code S for that season. If compared previous seasons you have two chance to get to Code S (three if you get MLG spot)

International players can win a few Bo3's and qualify for Code S in the very next season? Awesome :D I feel like a Code A tournament past the Ro24 could still be held for seeding purposes, though. 4 groups of 3, top 2 players advance to Ro8, and boom, you get a Code A tournament. I still like the new format, though.

i love this format, as it really shows how both code A and S are the same tournament, while getting rid of the code S bottleneck

I actually really like the new format. It's more like a real tournament and is a better test of skill.

Hm, I'm not sure about this. I definitely think change was needed, but I think it's a bit too volatile until next year when they can get rid of best of ones. Best of ones makes everything way too volatile and need to go. I'm happy they're looking at it for next year as I can understand it would be difficult to change right away.

However, even if with a best 3's, I still think their ought to be a little more protection for the previous GSL winner, runner up and possibly semi-finalists (later seed or something.) But if they do go best of 3 for the group stages, then I think I could get behind this.
