"Players were worried they did not understand the English translation (did he just say I could switch to NA/EU?) so they chose what they thought would get them free money, they were confused as to properly take advantage of this system" sounds about right | ||

But i have doubts about the challengers season 3 being useless. It would make sense that they will be important for next year season 1. I could be wrong tho, so if there is any information regarding this would be nice to know. | ||

I would hate for the GSL to be like that. That's basically the IEM system. There are a few tournaments a year, all of which have regional open qualifiers, and at the end of the year one world championship with invites based on points gathered from all those tournaments. This is good for a weekend tournament like IEM, but it doesn't create a consistent storyline from season to season and year to year like the GSL. The way the GSL works, it's impossible to have Code A before Code S, because half the players in Code A come from Code S. It's a great system and has proven to us all that it allows the best players to consistently stay at the top while also allowing newcomers to rise to replace those who are slacking off. | ||

I also think it is blizzard intention to make a qualifier -> challenger -> premier royal road impossible, and that the format in US/EU will follow the entire GSL format after the various divisions have been filled with qualifiers? | ||

Oh I see what you are saying, and perhaps you are right, but the question I would then pose is: "Does the GSL system make sense when you have a points system?" Maybe I misinterpreted the OP.... but isn't that what he/she is getting at? | ||

They should have just used a single elimination format. So that every season is self-contained and has no effects on the next season. | ||

So that every season is self-contained and has no effects on the next season. Code S/A is by far superior since it allows for constant high level play, simultaneously with second tier. Any kind of single elimination would mean month of one-sided stomps, and another month of higher level play. Not to mention ro64 or whatever would have too many chances of possible top8 players eliminating each other too early, i mean even in OSL single-elim starts at ro8, and they have had 12 years to tune their system. | ||

Players shouldn't be punished for trying to establish residency in other countries. Players should be punished for "region" hopping. | ||
