I think they are worth the same points but the points decay as the year goes on.

Points deteriorate. Winning last season is better than winning 5 seasons ago. It's a good system.

I hope violet can stay good in korea, its like a negative zone for him. He is fun to watch. Hoping thorzain can prove naniwa wrong (said he wasnt a born winner) and advance but its going to be hard :<

Season 1 was worth 5000 points before. It looks like GSL is going to reduce the point value of seasons gradually, to favor more recent good performances. I like it - less chance of 'legacy' seeds where people get better seeds and such based solely on old (6+ month ago) successes like was a problem before.

Ah, makes sense, I did not know that. Seems like they lose 10% of their points per season. I like it.

I hope Thorzain does well, but I fear he's going to go straight to Code B

i am not talking about gomtvs marketing i am.. nevermind why do i even bother trying to argue with people here... lol

So, to clarify, you're saying that Squirtle made his choice because he holds a grudge against Thorzain for beating Naniwa, who is on Quantic, which is partnered with Startale, in a mostly online tournament over a year ago.

Not because he thinks that a foreign terran is the easiest person for him to beat.

Yeah, don't worry about trying to explain that, I don't think most of us will be able to understand you.

----------------------
@the groups, I don't know, I think it looks decent for Naniwa -- he seems to have Nestea's number, at least. Not sure about Thorzain -- Squirtle will definitely be hard, but if he can focus on TvT, he might have a chance. Not sure about our Liquidians, either -- not easy, but doable.

Well hope Nani can do well, dont think he will beat creator and will be interesting to see how he does vs Nestea and thestc

Thorzain has a chance if he can get his TvT in order!!!!

Why did DRG get 4500 points for his GSL victory while MVP got 5000?

Why do you not read the thread before posting in it?

I like how they changed the points format. First tier seeds are now the top 8 from the previous season, ranked by points, then the next eight are 9-16 from the previous season, ranked by points.

The way they did it before, if you won a single GSL or even got second then you were basically guaranteed top eight in points for the rest of the year, I like this method a lot better.

Also, the groups actually look pretty even, I agree that F is the hardest, but there is no real group of death imo.

Cool groups! I think it's cool to look at the groups and realize that the seeded players actually have a realistic shot of getting out of them.
