GomTV has revealed the brackets for the first season of Code A, which will begin on January 15th. The format of Code A has changed considerably from previous years, and it is now essentially the old "Up/Down matches" expanded to cover all of Code A. Twelve groups of four players a piece play out a double-elimination group, with the two winners advancing to Code S and the two losers falling back to the qualifiers.
In addition, GomTV will only be broadcasting six of the twelve groups.
Wow, sick groups. I do have to say though, what the fuck? Effort isn't getting streamed?? Damn...Not questioning too hard the decision for what to stream and what not to, but wow! Stacked, stacked groups!
I will never understand why some of the korean content isn´t streamed. Every group is better than every premier league on EU and NA. And even if they dont want to invest into doing it themselves then just give it free, someone like Khaldor or Nethanias would cast this groups for sure.
I don't like that SuperNova, Life, RorO, and KeeN are all unstreamed, however comparing the 2 groups of each day they are streaming the best group every time imo.
My stance is the same as last year, if GOM doesn't care about streaming all the matches so I can follow the players I care about then I'm not going to buy a ticket.
Wow seriously gom? You have like 3-4 months to run each GSL now and you seriously can't stream every game? So far the extra length has brought nothing good while meaning far fewer tournaments.... Pretty disappointing.

I have to agree with both these statements. This is ridiculous. The GSL is their only SC2 tournaments now unless they plan on having a 4 Team GSTL.

They went with every other group, A, C, E, etc. Now, whether they 'moved' the group names around to get the players they wanted streamed is another story.
T_T why just why Life's group is unstreamed... I have been waiting for the GSL so much time and I get 6 groups with amazing players who I all know and love are not being streamed it is just so awful to see
I think everyone is overlooking the biggest tragedy of TheBest not being streamed. Who didn't want to hear that cast? also, is Wolf still casting Code A along with Proleague?
Any confirmation whether it's still Wolfdor casting? I hope so.
It is disappointing that we're only going to see half the matches. Feels like it's even less than last year where at least we saw all of the Code A Ro24 matches and all the U&D matches. With so little content coming out of Korea compared to past years you'd think they could at least broadcast what there is. I mean there's only 3 GSLs all year and no more separate U&D matches, can't they just spread Code A out so that there's one group a day instead of two?!
Wolf confirmed multiple times on Twitter that he will still cast Code A, so don't worry about Wolfdor. But these unstreamed matches man, that's pretty terrible

Were subscribers told any of this beforehand. I've gone though this with gretech gom before in January a couple of years back they said buy this and get this blah blah, buy this and get this blah blah, buy this and get this. I went ahead got the medium package expected to get what was promised. Well we already know where this is going, several weeks later they started some other casting schedule and before I knew it some of the stuff I understood I was paying for got placed behind a paywall . So yeah this sort of thing is not new unfortunately.
all these groups look awesome to watch, can't really find any that I am not interested in hope someone convince them to broadcast the unstream groups though, those are pretty damn awesome too
Wow. Half of the games not streamed. This is actually borderline unacceptable considering they reduced WCS games and (I assume) Gom wont have to do GSTL anymore. I guess Dota2 and World of Tanks is taking Gom's time. Too bad, each one these groups is probably better skillwise than the semifinalists of WCS EU/NA.
although it is sad some groups are not streamed, i have to agree with the fact that the groups that are streamed are overall better than the unstreamed one's. Although i would like to see squirtle D:

Have they mentioned how they're going to figure out who will take the extra code s spot from jjakji since he's moved to EU? Maybe have a bracket with all the 3rd place finishers of each group?
Those are some stacked groups if you ask me. Thought I'd have to say Seed kind of gets an 'easier' group compared to others.
Anyone know why GOMtv is choosing only to stream half the games? What gives? I thought with GSTL becoming so small (with not most teams going to KeSPA), that GOMtv would jump on this and stream all matches.
Damn, really sad that half the groups won't be streamed. As for the groups themselves I'd be inclined to say none is a group of death, I don't see one with players super close to each others skill level or 4 super aces in one group. Its like 1 or 2 favorites per group, which should 100% make it out barring some huge upsets.
The whole point of WCS is this overall 'storyline.
In EU or to some extent NA, I can watch the first round of qualifiers and see a newcomer make it out into Code A in a hero-esque run and could then cause an upset and qualify for Premier.
In Korea where the elite of the world plays, we get no qualifiers and only half of Code A. It's so anticlimactic. Yuk.
You guys whining about some groups not being streamed. Its seriously like whining about every Wcs Europe or NA qualifer match not being streamed You can´t please everyone

Except we have to pay to watch the season so when half of the games you thought you paid to see are not being shown it's a bit of a 'fuck you' to the people who do support GOM. Not forgetting we're missing the best matches from the best players.

that's the logic step, but this is gom...
How about, GOM gives someone like Khaldor/Wolf the replay packs the same day and they cast them in the evening before GOM announces the results?
Would that work?
I've been asking for this for a year, good luck.
It's a really good solution though. Are there any issues with it? I'm sure Khaldor would be up for it, he gets like 7k Viewers just for NA qualifiers so Code A matches would be a lot more.

They would probably come up with some terrible excuse like " the players don't want their replays out there "

Wrong and wrong, sorry man. Even the EU QUALIFIERS are streamed and they´ve been about 10 streams with as good as every game since RO 32. With up to 15K viewers! And we are talking about Code A of the best league in the world NOT beening streamed at all???
You can please everyone! Just give the freakin games to a random caster and you get your viewers...
I thought the whole purpose of three seasons per year was to give everything a little more time. Why rush it then, and broadcast only half of it? Sad panda

I think it just shows that people are unhappy to pay for less content on a worse streaming service with less seasons a year for the same price. It's much more of a poor deal than it used to be.

But couldn't they just use more weeks instead of increasing the # of games per week? with only 3 seasons and no season finals as forced sync points between the regions, they should have that liberty I guess? Either way, you're right of course, negativity doesn't lead to anything, and we don't want oversaturation.

There's a lot less content than last year as we had the WoL GSL before WCS Started and as you rightly said, the season finals too. There's plenty of time to fit a few more groups in there.

Or do a full broadcasting day on the weekends. I mean, the Code A games don't have to be during prime time in the evening...

Stuff costs money, if they want a proper broadcast for codeA then they have to pay for bunch of people - and the 3 more weeks of CodeA might not get enough viewership for that to be worth it.
Even if khaldor does it for free for the 5k foreigners viewing it ( there might be laws against something like that ) there still are tournament admins that have to come in for extra 6 days.

They're not willing to spend money so I'm not willing to spend money, if that's how it has to be then fine. They had no problems streaming every match in 2011 when there were 9 GSL's in a year. I refuse to believe they cannot make it work somehow, even a replay cast would be good enough.

Exactly. They EASILY have the resources and time to do so. For the first time, I will not be buying a ticket. Combined with moving to Twitch for VOD's, this is looking like a sad era for GOM.

I really don't see how you can defend this
Here simple solution, stretch out the GSL seasons even more to allow for extra weeks for Code A each season. The current schedule shows GSL ends for the year on Oct 4th. That's three wasted months.
But it's so much cheaper this year. I've already signed up. Cost about US$80. For the entire year. I'm poor at the moment but still I can't complain. There'll be over a hundred hours of pro KR SC2. I just wish Jaedong was there (and in PL).

But no GSTL either so there's a lot of content missing there. Only 3 seasons when it used to be about 7. It's looking miserable.
It'd be nice if Khaldor could cast from replays or even live from his home. Shouldn't cost GOM anything that way (except for possible caster fee). Khaldor has decent enough production value not to hurt the brand if they are worried about replay stream not being on par with the actual program.
The problem might be the fact that he seems to be working already like 22 hours a day...
Should have Khaldor/Nathanias cast solo or with someone like Golden/Crank/Hyun. All five have been putting out some very good content recently. This is very disappointing to see.

The point being that Code A format has been changed with fewer stages so it's easier to broadcast. Plus they have more time in that there are fewer seasons so it can be dragged out for longer.
Can't tell which of these groups is the group of death. I'm going to day group G but even that isn't too scary compared to previous groups that GSL usually has, this is Code A though I shouldn't expect the best.
As long as Gom streams code S, they can do whatever they want with Code A. 50% Gom (in the time where SC2 is not popular at all in Korea) is better than no Gom at all. I hope that people can still be grateful to Gom for willing to host 3 gsls this year instead of talking shit about them

Drop the price then if they only want to cover 50% and allow someone else to cover that.

It really sucks that so many will be uncasted but it's still worth subscribing in my opinion. There's the three new tournaments (GOM Classic and the other two I forget their names), GSL Code S and maybe the GSTL with the Proleague teams in it if that does indeed come back as previously speculated. Sure, it sucks that they're only casting half the games in Code A but there's still a ton of high quality games that will be streamed. Also after the fierce backlash that they've deservedly got, GOM would be crazy to not sort this out for Season 2 and 3.
what a baller lineup :D sad that some interessting matches are not streamed. is this just because its the first season of 2014s WCS korea or is this the "new normal" for code A
At least half the groups is better than what was done at the end of last year with only 1/3 of the first round of challenger being casted. So, while disappointing, it isn't all negative.
these guys scrape and crawl sleep on bunk beds for years living the code B life and get in 1 Time to the danger days and go unstreamed. Thats some cold stuff GOM needs to respect the caliber of these players.
The competition is insanely fierce in korea and these guys have fought their way to code A witch is impressive by itself. I truly believe these guys deserve to have their games streamed so they can get an oppurtunity to show their fans that they have been working hard. I hope GSL finds a solution
I'm happy with how the groups turned out at least. Life, Dream, Sora, and Super have winnable groups, and Roro will get smacked down by Panic and the world Champion Hurricane.
Like everyone I'm disappointed that they're only streaming half the groups
also why no games in the weekendT_T now i can't watch them becouse of schoolX_X
Because maybe the staff wants some weekend as well? I get the dissapointment and i agree with most of them but wanting them to working 24/7 is just silly.
GroupA: Little scared for sOs here..His PL performance has been horrible. Interested to see how GuMiho performs. Group B: I like Sleep hopefully he does well, I think EffOrt and Curious are the favorites tho Group C: FLASH!!! YongHwa!!! Leenock!!!!!! sucks that only 2 moves to code s Group D: Dat Myunsick!! Hopefully Keen gets through too Group E: Oh Fantasy is Code A I didn't remember interested to see how he performs. Solar is strong one in this group Group F: Hurricane gogo!!! Roro gets through just to drop em fan favorites later on Group G: Interesting group could be crazy/good/fun games I think Stork is heavily outmatched but maybe he will proof me wrong Group H: I want Squirtle to win but he hasn't performed well lately Could see anyone go through tbh Group I: Kinda boring group tbh. Easy win for Sora, DRG is bad, Reality is boring, Hack is ok Group J: Fun group. TheBest whaaaat?! I hope he wins this season code s (nah Maru will win it) Group K: Don't know how well these guys do these days. Hydra and Dream haven't played that well in PL. Group L: Savage and Seed pls
Fun groups all in all. Mostly looking forward to Group C and Group G
Never understood why they don't stream it at all. Even putting it behind a paywall would make better sense, since it wouldn't take much additional expense to stream it and the demand for the games is certainly there
I will pay for GSL, as I've done all of 2012, but it's really disappointing that half of Code A won't be streamed. That and the switch to Twitch sucks major goatballs.
Still looking forward to watching GOM, though. I've missed them.
I haven't really been part of the Sc2 seen in about 6 months. Though this doesn't make me very likely return, not streaming the entirety of a tournament you have to pay for? no thanks. Irks the crap out of me too that its likely being preempted by World of tanks.
I guess Axiom has to consider themselves lucky that we got a streamed group. Sorry to the other teams that receive zero ROI and exposure despite having qualified for Code A. Really disappointing display from GOM that I hope is not repeated in other regions.

I wouldn't think so, they seem to be dedicating at least 6 days (I think only 6 days) to challenger, it should be much faster to cycle through "groups" doing a single bo5, rather than groups of 4 double elim
edit - GSL's format makes it a minimum of 10 games per day, NA/EU's format makes a maximum of 10 games per day if they did 2 groups (4 people), so I'd assume they try to squeeze more than 2 groups in per day. Obviously I have no insider info, just my thought and hoping
Haha darn. Well it said that ALL games will officially be streamed now.
Is that legit? Who is Yi Ji Hwan? I did a google search and his twitter account seems to say something about GOMexp though it's probably not a good sign that it's been deleted...

He is the dude that gives out all the stats you see during GSL. His tweet was weird cause it said all games to be streamed and that is was official, and it also said it would be announced soon. I would guess he never intended for the tweet to stay up for too long in the first place. Either way I think its legit.

Very happy GOM did this. I'm not a broadcasting expert but I don't recall the last time a major SC2 tournament organizer did such a major change to their broadcast schedule after their original announcement purely based on fan reaction.
Right now, Code A is the most stacked tournament in the world. There's an insane amount of talent that's going to feed into an even crazier Code S, so it's only right and proper that these players get the exposure they deserve. Big up to GOM for realising that and changing their plans.

sOs vs 
Shine, 
GuMiho
Hurricane vs 
Life's group is unstreamed... I have been waiting for the GSL so much time and I get 6 groups with amazing players who I all know and love are not being streamed it is just so awful to see 
. So yeah this sort of thing is not new unfortunately.
