What still needs change though is the order they play out things. In my opinion, code A and up&downs should resolve before they start the final Ro8, so the finals actually feel like they have been worked to for 2 months, instead of being played in the middle of the season when half the games still will be played. It would even be better to extend the season to 3 months allowing for maybe Bo5s earller and giving everything a more epic feel. | ||

I don't know if this is probable but if it is possible then it is kind of worrying. EDIT: left something out This is the first thing I thought when I read that part. | ||

Falling down intentionally would be too risky. Players want a [b]stable[/b income and Code A is a "buffer" in case sh*t happens. | ||

 Also GSTL looks bad aside from the possibility of foreigner teams. One question that formed in my head while reading this though: + Show Spoiler + since GOMTV works so close with Blizzard, are we really only gona see HOTS next year? Or will they simply do a GSL in the same format, without a break, for HOTS right when it comes out? | ||

The changes to the GSTL: In the Semi-Finals, a team with no losses (A1) plays a team with one loss (B2), and if A1 loses, they are out, even though it's their first loss? | ||

With just 5 GSL's a year with no Bo1 knockout it becomes much more prestigous and an increased amount of foreigners in korea and koreans travelling around the world I dont see the need for the world championship. We see korea vs world every month and if the scene need a true korea vs world battle I am sure someone will put it out there. | ||

It would even be better to extend the season to 3 months allowing for maybe Bo5s earller and giving everything a more epic feel. What i'd like is if they just scrapped the whole 'code A' concept and just rename and remarket them as qualifiers for the next season. Instead of it going on at the same time as code S as it happens currently, i'd prefer it if the whole thing began after the code s finals have ended. They could keep the exact same format for code A but it just seems much more logical to me to have the qualifiers for your tournament happen before the event instead of mixed into the finals of your previous season. If they were to change the format to this aswell I think it'd be a lot more exciting and bring in a lot more pre-season hype. | ||

Why would you think that? To this date I refuse to count the WC as a GSL, and the Super Tournament was silly as well. I'm fine with that! | ||
