Also, somebody from Code S can drop to Code B in one season but somebody from Code B/A can only come back to Code S in one season. They can't compete in it. With the increased volatility, they're going to have many problems with good players unable to compete for the Code S championship. | ||

Only have one question right now. IdrA and Demuslim will be in the code A ro48 right? I guess they are going for GSL Nov. Or will they be the 2 international seeds that are put into up and downs? From how I read it, they should be in ro48 since they have code A seeds. The 2 international spots are for people that GSL invites? Someone like WhiteRa if he wanted to go. Maybe PuMa? Or some other code B player that they think deserves a shot? | ||

but I like the scramble at the end. I think thats the only way to get the number of races even again. Previous format would take probably a year to accomplish this | ||

With the system that was last season, you'd have from 24 to 30 Code S players that would be Code S the season after. With the current system, you can have anywhere from 8 to 30 Code S players stay in Code S. | ||

PuMa would not get the international spot, as he's a Korean player (one that failed in the first round of Code A qualifiers this month) I would assume that IdrA and DeMusliM will end up starting in the Code A Ro48, that makes the most sense. | ||

Idra/Demu could also end up as the two seeded Up and Down players. Personally I'd like to see Idra/Jinro be the two seeded international players into up and downs because they both were code S material at one point. Or idra/(Sase/Nani) if Jinro wants to qualify normally (so sad he was 1 game away  ) | ||

the first round of Code A (Ro48). The 24 losers are out of the GSL, they'll have to requalify. This will hurt. A lot. It actually makes the title "in Code A" kind of pointless, unless you are Code A past first round. Code A is now more like a losers' bracket / open bracket for the GSL. Overall, I like the changes, they will make both Code S and Code A, as well as the Up-Down matches, a lot more entertaining.The bottom listed 2 direct seeds for Code S make me wonder (MLG seeds just 1 Code S). Either the GSL is going to be twice as rare as MLG, so that 2 Code S seeds are gathered, or MLG will now seed 2 Code S players, or GSL will have a direct Code S seed from another tournament (IPL? NASL? etc). | ||

Well you have to see, it's now also easier to get into Code S again. | ||

Essentially, GOM streamlined GSL by smashing Code S and Code A together. Personally, I think this is a good idea because it will lead to much more variety in the matchups but it will also lead to a lot of instability (i.e. Code S champion can be knocked down to Code B very quickly if he's unlucky/slumping). | ||

The big problem is that if you play poorly once and drop out of Code S, you have to wait a season to compete in it. It's not so bad when it was very difficult to drop out but now that it's easier, it's going to be a problem. Sure, it's easier to come back to Code S but why should a player who regained their form have to wait that long? | ||

now there will be more balance of code S and code a with races and also it will be much more interesting because the risk of dropping out is much higher | ||
