Can some1 explain the difference between this and Proleague format? From what I see I think this format is a little better? | ||

They need a total of 8 games for this (3 qualification, 5 groupplay). If they just did a round robin with groups of 5, it would be 10 games, only 2 more. | ||

True, however Incontrol and Demuslim coming over to spend time there as well, plus they could hire a mercenary or two (Sen/Morrow/ToD/Naama/Chinese players in Korea). I don't think having the same players guaranteed would be too much of a problem. I mean those players are all already in Korea, and any exposure to the EG brand plus the experience from the extra games on the big stage are of big benefit. If they get knocked out of the first round then so what... | ||

Apparently Zowie aren't whiny bitches  | ||

From what I see I think this format is a little better? http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Proleague Proleague: Every player just plays once (in previous seasons the ace player could play twice), so both teams change players after each match. GSTL uses the all-kill format (player plays until he loses, then his team has to chose the next player) If that's what you wanted to know. What's better? That's a matter of taste and totally subjective. | ||

I agree, and what's wrong with seeing rookies play instead of the same players you see every GSL or other international tournaments. If they changed it because of rookies, I think they made a big mistake. | ||

I also gotta say, the format does seem kinda weird; but if Gom decided that they didn't have enough time to do a full ten-team league, then this seems like a much better way to do things than just choosing who gets to play, either by gsl points or just arbitrarily, like they used to do. | ||
