I always assumed there will just be Code A qualifiers as usual after the pre-season.

that's what I thought so too. Isnt this only awarding 2 spots in Code S? so they still have to fill the rest


Yeah, this is basically to get some hype going and give aways to tickets to Code S. No reason not to do Code A as usual.

they actually didn't do Code A for the first season of 2015, they had direct qualifiers into Code S


Ah yeah right, maybe they'll do that again.

But then there's no point in bothering to make a Pre-Season that awards direct seeds, is there? I guess to determine potential viewership but it probably won't be that high.

Why would there be no point? That's like saying there's no point to running GSL since you could just have direct qualifiers into Blizzcon? Idk I mean the point is to have a fun competition, right? You win here, you get to be the first qualified for 2016 Code S Season 1, sounds fair to me

I mean, why make a Pre-Season that awards a direct Code S seed in basically a complete tournament, and then 2 or 3 weeks later make open qualifiers that award a direct Code S seed for less matches? The players I guess can earn some extra money. Still, seems like a weird choice. In the end, it's not gonna matter if you qualify 1st or last, as long as you qualify.

Also I am now sad there's not been a Hot6ix/Blizzard Cup this year.

To me it looks like they simply wanted to produce some sc2 content before next year.
What better way to make players care about it than giving a code s seed for it?
So what i think happens:

Pre season with two seeds, rest the same as always.

That's what I think aswell, but I'd much rather the world gets their shit together and gives us another Hot6ix/Blizzard/Whatever Cup at the end of the year to enjoy

I think they're doing this Pre-season thing to test the new expansion, specially the maps. If there is no clear imbalance with this maps then they can use them again for Code B, A and S. If there is indeed an important level of imbalance, they have enough time to pick or even design different ones. If there run the normal qualifiers directly with an imbalanced map pool they risk having 60% of the players be Zerg

Well, that's good to hear(?). I thought sOs was trying out a new wonky strat that he really wanted to try for some reason.

Actually, Rogue's father passed away a day before yesterday (http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/view.php?ud=2015121315221328843), and probably many of JA players would have given up the preliminary in order to attend the funeral.

This is the qualifiers for the pre-season I believe. Whoever wins the preseason gets seeded directly into Code S. Trap still have Code A qualifiers to go though.

If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me please.
