I think if Sniper/Ryung win, they'll get the 3rd spot. If Hyun/Bogus win, then Seed gets the spot.

Is there going to be WCS 2013? I thought they were going back to Blizzcon next year.

Which will be where WCS 2013 will conclude.

Awesome stuff, very happy with all of it (except only 4 Code S but oh well)
Also, will GSL points reset?

Really awesome to see GOMTV letting everyone know this early.
I like just 4 seasons (better to hype up matchs/tell better stories) and the 2 GSTL seasons :D

I would guess they will reset points when HOTS comes out.

I was actually surprised that GSL Season 5 started so soon (it started just a week after the finals).
Pleasantly surprised actually  .
I was wondering about that, forgot about IPL.

Ahh, also makes sense.

If Sniper or Ryung wins, they'll be in second, and if Hyun or Bogus wins, they'll be in third, so either way, the last slot is going to whoever wins this GSL.

Who ever wins GSL passes Seed in points according to the Liquipedia thing.

Maybe.
This also means that we'll probably get the awesome award ceremony like last year before the GSL Tour Grand Finals. I want to see all the teams rolling in vans again, walking the red carpet, and then getting handed silly awards.

Fixed.
On a more serious note, I think four tournaments is a good idea, combined with the vamped up team league. Having one for each season makes sense.

Last I checked, whoever wins this GSL season will get the seed, as life is currently ranked 3rd, and all of them will surpass Life in points should they win GSL.

Yep. 3rd place spot goes to the winner of this GSL.
However, Parting can win WCG, and Life and DRG can take first or second at IPL5.
If someone takes multiple spots and we follow last year's GSL points convention:
Only one:
Seed will take the spot.
If two of the above happen:
If Ryung beats Sniper in semis, but loses finals, he takes a spot guaranteed.
If Sniper beats Ryung but doesn't win GSL, then he takes a spot if MC loses this round of Code A.
If one of Ryung/Sniper wins GSL, MC takes spot.
If all three occur:
If one of Ryung/Sniper wins GSL, Squirtle takes last spot.
If Hyun/Bogus wins GSL, MC and winner of Ryung/Sniper advance.
tl;dr: People still in the running for a spot:
Ryung, Sniper, Hyun, Bogus, Seed, MC, Squirtle.
EDIT: Just realized I didn't account for Ryung/Sniper/Hyun/Bogus/MC/Squirtle qualifying through IPL5. Ignore the above, I'm too lazy to figure this stuff out.

Enhanced HQ Quality :OOO
I love you, Mr. Chae! <3

I'm happy with 4 GSL and 2 GSTL seasons per year. That seems like just the right amount.
