GSL Code A 2016 qualifiers completed today and it was as action packed as ever. Many players came out to try and compete for the 25 spots on offer, notably a couple of foreigners turned up in NoRegreT and Scarlett, sadly they did not make it, with NoRegreT falling in the special Wild Card match. That was won by our long lost Protoss President MC!
Here are your Code A players for Season 2, they are separated into previous Code S and Qualifiers.
I'm so happy for MC, he was fought more series than any other players to qualify for his Code A spot. This is his last tournament and he's still wrecking nerds, now if he can advance far into this tourney (prerably winning it all), it would made such a beautiful story to tell
We had Zest vs Maru last season remember. This is the brutal reality that is Korean sc2 right now. Inno could be a whole 12 months without playing in Code S if he fails to negotiate Dark, as this will be the (or is due to be) the last GSL of 2016

There's a difference though. Maru and Zest ended up being matched because of seeding. Maru was 1st in his group, Zest 2nd in his, and that's just how it came about.
sOs vs Trap doesn't look like there's seeding at all. Trap was 9-12th last season, he shouldn't get someone who finished 1st in their group. Same with INnoVation vs Dark.
What we have right now looks like it's completely arbitrary.
23 players from code s and 25 from qualifiers? Is it because Bbyong is out of code S now? Does it mean 2 player from qualifier will play against each other?

I always missed the bracket + up and down format in Code A, because there were more matches, more players and fairer seeding, but now I'm seriously annoyed at it because of the SKT (and JA) teamkill

Also surprised. 3 out of 7 matches we know are teamkills. Teamkills used to almost never happen in Code A.
