Yes, they didn't have more time this season. They are looking into going for Bo3 for next season for both ro32 and ro16.

This would be awesome. GSL format has always been poor simply because there were too few games played. This is also part of the reason the finals were often bad as it's too easy for a fluke too happen (a relatively bad player reaching the finals like inca or top).

You mean good players like Inca and TOP? Even MMA can make it to the finals and make it a terrible finals. TOP's final was no less disappointing than MVP's most recent final.

Inca is actually better at BoX due to build order mind games, him making the finals in that season was no fluke, though a bit of bracket luck certainly helped.

Still agree of course, Bo1's I hate D=

Its good i think to reduce amount of terrans in the gsl, and to move people a lot. (Sarcasm Ahead) Some of the Code-S players became fat and dont want to move from code-s, so this will make people play better -----> better games.

Sorry if this has been answered, I did read a few pages but couldn't find it.
How are they deciding the Ro. 16 groups players, are they random, or are they based on say, Player 1 from Group A ro.32 goes into Group D Ro. 16 kinda system?
