Well the worst thing about the format is that if you didn't get through the qualifiers in season 1, you can't make Premier in season 2. But yeah no money for the matches would also not have been great.

I think the bottom of the graph says that Season 2 also has a challenger, with 6 players entering. So whoever loses out in season 1 may have another chance. If I'm reading it right, that is.

The players from Challenge don't get to go into that season of Premier though. If you read the graph, it says the top players of season 1 Challenge can get into season 2 Premier. So if you qualify for season 2 Challenge, you can win money, but you can't get into season 2 Premier where the WCS points are given out.

Is this going be run at the same time as GSL Season 2? Because as i see it from last year, gsl and ssl games were kinda overlapping. Then most of the time people simply practiced for their GSL game. Even tough in theory they should have the same prestige, it seems SSL is threated 2nd Grade amongst many of the players. Therefore it would have been better in my opinion if it would not run in the same time as GSL or at least make it overlap as least as possible.
