They won't give seeds for U&D this season, otherwise they would have annouced them with the groups. Also, no word on wild card, so my guess is there won't be one this season. I assume last season the wild card group was because they only had 1 seed to give in code S, and there were 2 spots left that needed to be filled. | ||

Well, this line in particular made it sound like a permanent thing. http://www.gomtv.net/forum/view.gom?topicid=228867 "If you kept seeing your favorite players take 3rd place over and over in the Up&Down Matches, they will now have a chance to advance to Code S!" | ||

It's the fairest way Possible, but it would depend also if the winner decide to accept the seed, we have known of players refusing them. If I had to bet, I would bet they already know what players will be seeded into code S. I like to believe GOM has code S planned already, it would be disastrous to have a seeded player not being able to go at the last minute. | ||

Either they have U&D seeds + wild cards, or just Code S seeds. This time, they've chosen the latter (for whatever reason). | ||

Guys are you serious ? Ok Stephano lost in the first round of code S but it was close, it doesn't mean he is bad at all ! He is just going to crush everyone in is group, I really don't see him lose to the players he has to face... Stephano will easily come out first  #EGStephano #GSLupanddowns #TotalDomination | ||

I think Yonghwa has only been to U&D once (has been in Code A/S for long) and he had issues with his eyes that day. So I am not sure if he has specific issues with U&D. Looking at his team league perfermance (Bo1s against multiple players/races), his style should be pretty good for U&D and he doesn't seem to have a very weak matchup. | ||

Secondly: A - Yongwha, MKP B - Effort, Creator C - Keen, Nestea D - B4, Crazy E - Sniper, Rain E far and away the group of death because it has 6 good players whereas group C is a group of 5. Group D is shockingly inferior in names to every other group haha. Luck of the draw hey. | ||

Anyone remember this game? It was the last set of the group where the winner would advance to Code S. Ridiculous voidray micro from Avenge and an even more ridiculous hold from B4. No tosses in Avenge's group, it's certainly manageable. | ||

We are very excited to see what the players have in store for us as they have been heavily preparing to show off their skills in this new game. However, as the Up&Down Matches are a sequel to GSL Code A, these will be the very last matches in “Wings of Liberty” in the GSL. When you look at the groups, you can see that even in its last breath, “Wings of Liberty” will still continue give us intense matches until the very end. The beginning of the end starts on March 4th 11:10 (KST). Will Stephano make Code S? Will MarineKing falter? Find out only at the GSL! | ||

Too much foreigner events for the first and lack of data for the latter? fantasy has not exactly been doing well lately | ||

The fairest thing would be to remake all of the groups randomly but that wouldn't happen. It would also fuck someone over because it would move up their play time giving them less time to prepare with a different group. | ||

It's already unfair when there are 5 person and 6 person groups, but there is a huge difference between being in a 4 person group and a 6 person group. | ||

True. For Stephano' sake, IEM is the better choice. Much better chance for a good paycheck there. I'm just a little tired of a lack of seriousness taken by foreigners in GSL that are not Huk or Naniwa. | ||

The groups were just announced, it's not like people have been training for days. Just a guess, but I bet the players from the 6 man groups wouldn't mind it at all. They could do it one of two ways. They could just throw all the names in the 6 man groups in a hat, draw one, and move him to the 4 man group, or they could ask the players from the 6 man groups which one of them wants a chance to move to the 4 man group, and make a drawing between those. | ||

It's stupid to force these players to practice/play WoL, especially since they're qualifying for a season that is going to be played in HotS. They make IEM World Championship HotS, they make the first HotS season's Up/Down's WoL, this shit cray. They probably don't wish to wait a few weeks, because it would be to close to the starting date of the next season of Code S(19th of March IIRC). That means there will be less time for groups and less player preparation. Secondly, they are probably going to move things like booths and other production equipment in the coming days/week into the new studio.Having the up and downs at the new Gangnam studio(where not many people show up for) probably won't look as good as debuting the new studio with Code S( and HOTS) If the HOTS stayed open up till release date they probably would've done it next week. | ||
