TL.net ESPORTS 4 Posts January 29 2014 13:11 GMT #1 Details results on Liquipedia Thanks to kenzi from Daily Esports for providing live updates. After a marathon quadruple tie-breaker, SK Telecom's ParalyzE won the GSL Code A wild card tournament to take the final spot in the upcoming Code S tournament. The wild card tournament was held between the twelve, third place finishers of every Code A group in order to fill the spot left open by jjakji, who had forfeited to compete in WCS Europe instead. Starting with twelve players, the wild card tournament came down to a three way contest between ParalyzE, Dream, and Cure. The Code S spot was set to go to the first player who could win two games in a 3-way round robin, but the players tied at 1-1 four times in a row. In the fifth go around, Paralyze was finally able to go 2-0 and take claim the prize. The Code S player list has been finalized, with the tournament set to begin on February 5th.

I consider at least half of them to be worthy of Code S. Imo like 1/4 of the players could win the tournament. edit: I am missing Bomber, Taeja, TLHero and Jaedong . I guess making foreigners look like scrubs and getting money for it has also its benefits :D.

AlternativeEgo Sweden17309 Posts January 29 2014 13:28 GMT #16 Quite surprising to me, really didn't think that he would be the one to take the last spot. Go Afro

Darkhorse United States23455 Posts January 29 2014 13:28 GMT #17 I predict a repeat of 2011 GSL October and there will be only one of the least represented race in the round of 16. But this time Maru will make the finals and heroically stand his ground against Dear.

AaronChance 29 Posts January 29 2014 13:33 GMT #20 I predict Maru and the other terran will be knocked out early by variants of mothership core supported rushes and muta death balls.
