This is the championship of champions. It's like MLG Nationals. It should be treated with even higher prestige than a normal GSL.

Honestly I don't know why World Championship counted towards a GSL title. It is 16 players only, with 8of them being random foreigners gomtv selected. We need to stick to definitions. GSL champion means GSL season champion. Super tournament is kind of iffy (all code S/A players had a chance to win it), but I probably wouldn't count it as well in the tally for GSL titles.

Just based on the number of players it isn't a GSL Championship(Same thing with the 16 player tourney). Part of what makes a champion is slogging through a ton of people on your climb to the mountain top. While the jump from 16 to 32 players is just one round it still makes a difference. Still gonna be a great tournament though. All Star game baby!

You wouldn't count the Super Tournament as a GSL championship but you would count Open Season 1,2 and 3 as GSL champions, even though they had the exact same format?

Nice logic.
