End of update
GOM.tv just posted the brackets for the WCS Korea Challenger League
Dear GOMTV.net users,
We are ready to announce the brackets for the first WCS KR Season 1 GSL Challenger League!
This gauntlet of survival will show the world which players have the strength to stay in the WCS and which players are fit for the qualifiers. Code S may be where the glory lies, but only through the Challenger League will you ever have a chance of reaching that glory!
The Challenger League will be broadcasted every Wednesday and will feature an afternoon cast as well as an evening cast. This format will be much like the dual stream of the old Code A format except now there will be no viewing limitations based on which ticket you have purchased! The afternoon broadcast will begin at 1:10 PM (KST) and the evening broadcast will begin at 6:10 PM (KST). The matches will be broadcasted in both English and Korean.
Also, they posted the schedule for premier league & challenger league and GSTL
Broadcast notes:
Round 1 and Round 2 will have 8 choice matches broadcasted; however, Round 3 will have all of its matches broadcasted.
The matches that are not played on the broadcast will all be played offline at our studio with a referee present at the venue.
This means that of the: - Round 1 matches, 8/24 will be shown, so 33% - Round 2 matches, 8/16 will be shown, so 50% - Round 3 matches, 12/12 will be shown, so 100%

Personal Note: interesting how they refer to it as Code S or Starleague instead of Premier League
in regards to your personal note. GSL stands for Global Star(craft2) League. In my mind and many others it will still be GSL Code S/A whether or not Blizzard want it to be called Premier/Challenger.
I dont have all the required information to make a complete statement on the issue ,but I cant be the only one who's thinking this WCS made more harm than good , in comparison to the last year WCS. Not seeing the big names around GSL, like MVP,Nestea,etc is sad.

Liquipedia brackets don't appear to be showing him either.
On the GOM brackets there is someone under the ID Samsung Shark and is a Protoss. Maybe Khan managed to pick him up and he switched IDs
Did he end up taking someones spot who dropped out in the end? Because it says he is placed in a spot where a code S dropout would take
I was about to type this, Swim is not Shark as 'Shark' is a drop-down from Code S according to the brackets whereas 'Swim' qualified via the preliminaries.

I'm looking at it. MC's spot?
Looks like it. Notice how his name is not surrounded by a red outline unlike the other Code S drop-downs.

Since many players gave up their spot in Challenger there might be incorrect "S" drop-outs. The Liquipedia Code A bracket template just works that way I think
EDIT : And anyway, the only 2 protosses in KHAN are JangBi and Stork... I think we'd have heard the news if he had changed their IDs

It just seems to make sense this way. Was scrathcing my head there for a second.
Well good to see good results have paid off for swim then with the new team and all.

I'm pretty sure he replaced MC because MC came last in his RO32 group.

Still doesn't make sense to me. Swim qualified by winning his preliminary group means they would someone else other than Swim to replace MC
For such an unknown person this has got me interested in his whereabouts :D

I'm a bit sad about this, GSL Code A is really important in skill level I hope they choose right the good matches. It means less Wolf + Khaldor :/
Looking forward to it ! Code A is as stack as always !
To be honest that isn't exactly bad, they're probably going to be showing the fan favourites each day and you get all matches shown for the last day, the most important one, so yeah, pretty good for one stream.

So... should we just continue to write stuff such as "World Championship Series Korea Season 2 Ongamenet Starleague" and "World Championship Series Korea Season 3 Gomtv Global Starcraft 2 league Premier League Code S"?

Is it bad that I'm anti supporting bunny just because the EU bunny has only just broken into the scene and two of them is going to lead to confusion?

I'm really torn between MKP and san, because san really impressed me in the GSTL, but MKP must be really close to his Nestea award, and i'd hate for him not to get it, and the loser goes to code B :'(

Day 2, Group A : San qualifies against a terran named Shark. Day 2, Group F : Swim, protoss (now Shark) qualifies by beating jjakji.
And Shark appears as P in the Code A brackets.
Oh god please tell me this is not like the Liquid_Hero/T8_hero/CJ_hero thing
You've just confused me even more as the Terran Shark who San beat is also part of Samsung Khan. So we either have 2 Shark's both part of Samsung Khan or Swim has dropped out replaced by the former.
This needs clarification
It wasnt necessarily true that that Shark that San beat, was from Khan, considering the liquipedia links, both link to the exact same player profile. So i'm going to take it as swim took MC's spot.

"I was notified that a certain team is going to contact me. The coach of that team said he would contact me so I am waiting to for the tryouts right now."
I'm really torned between MKP and San as well. Wait, no I'm not lolololol, I'm ready to sacrifice the manliest SC2 Protoss player without any second thoughts, if it's to save my cute hipster Sith-lord marine cheeser.

Isn't it because the next part of the WCS (Season 2) is the OSL? (OGN Star League)

True but lots of people me (me included) will just call it GSL and OSL.

On that note, how does Nestea award even work anymore, since next season will be OSL and not GSL? Does that count?
Just judging by his hots play so far, I don't really think MKP will be getting the nestea award. However, I don't know how that's going to work with a switch between OSL an GSL.

MC is qualifying for wcs eu code a season 1. You aren't allowed to try for season 1 of code s if you tried another region first. Hence, why dragon, hyun, mc, taeja can't play in any qualifiers that can get you into season 1 code s of another region.
They can all try to get into season 1 code a of another region, and this will give you a shot to qualify for season 2 code s for that region.

Where does it say that all the matches aren't going to be shown? Sometimes all the matches are not broadcast in Korean for Code A (the afternoon sessions are mostly left out), but they always do all the matches in English.

Not everything broadcasted ? :/ That's annoying. I hope they will choose their matches wisely, because even if many Ro48 matches are slighly ranodm, most of Ro32 matches are pretty legit -_-
Round 1 and Round 2 will have 8 choice matches broadcasted; however, Round 3 will have all of its matches broadcasted.
The matches that are not played on the broadcast will all be played offline at our studio with a referee present at the venue.
NOOOOOOOOO WHY?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I watched all Code A matches and I like Code A matches so much I am so nervious during Ro48 even more then I watch Code S. GOMTV why you make no broadcast........
