I'm guessing Sniper will win though, just to make everybody go into the xmas break angry that their favorite player lost to someone that nobody likes lol

(I heart you Sniper! ... sort of)

I went 4 pages without a single mention of how HotS will affect this 2013 schedule, so I assume the answer is obvious and I'm just stupid not to know it, could someone enlighten plz?

Nvm I should have gone 6 pages apparently sorry

I think someone mentioned earlier that HOTS will drop right before (or after) season 2 based on current release schedule, so we'll perhaps see it in S2 or S3.

2013 GSL 1 will complete as WOL, HOTS will start in GSL 2.

GSTL will probably switch as soon as GSL 1 ends.

HOTS will release during the last few weeks of GSL S1, but they will complete the season as WOL.

I guess they are using GSL points rankings from before this season's finals were over? it's the same players but the new rankings are
1. Mvp
2. Sniper
3. DRG
4. Life
5. Seed

Kudos to viOLet playing like an absolute pro in IPL5, but some part of me wants him to reject the seed as he has quite often done (this was not influenced at all by my Polt fanboyism). I just want to see another Terran instead of having half the tournament with Zergs, which is admittedly not as fun as more TvX match-ups. Either way, I'm satisfied either viOLet or Polt gets the spot really, but man, I really want to see a Marine built that does not have Mvp as the creator. But knowing GSL, they put precedence to GSL points, so might end up neither of them playing if viOLet rejects his spot.

Yeah, it seems that the article took the rankings from after Season 5 Code S Ro4 for some reason.

The schedule is going to be tight to do each group in 1 day when they're bo3. When each group has 5 people in it. that's 10 match ups and with bo3 that's potentially 30 games in 1 day. that's an extremely packed schedule for 1 day. it's like trying to do 2 code S groups in the same day. unless they start early at noon and play all the way till the end of the day, there's just not enough time.

Well, Code A is split into 2 sessions. One starting at 1:10 and second at 6:10 with 4 Bo3 in each. And usually there is 2 hours break between each. So I think it would be doable if they start at 1:10. Of course, if we get tiebreakers (less likely in Bo3s but still possible)...LOL

I think you'll find it will be total 2012 points rather than current rankings

poor mvp guess we should buckle up for more zvp, zvz and pvp's

On the other hand he is the only player at the event who can ignore mirror matchup.

Is it only me or the new GSL schedule is similar to tennis season:

4 GSLs like 4 Grand Slams (hell - you can even make GSL from Grand SLam).
1 GSL Tour Grand Final like ATP World Tour Finals
I can't exactly match 2 GSTLs as there is only one Davis Cup / year but I guess it is similar as well.

Another side note - GSL is the only absolutely top tournament that doesn't qualify a player for GSL Tour Grand Final. I wonder if sniper could really not be in top3 in GSL points. I guess it;s possible.
