This tournament was not planned to be a weekend tournament, but take a schedule more like the GSL. It would still be four days long, but spaced out and not in consecutive days. Surely it was not planned to drag out that far. The teaser on Naver had the 15th as end date. That's still over a week before Katowice. Can't be near as important as Corona. I interpreted that to mean that Afreeca initially tried to reschedule to say, February 20th or so, but the players complained that it was too close to Katowice. Hence the move to March.
The Super Tournament was planned to be two weeks long, with two play days each week like Code S would usually run. I'm not sure if it will keep this same schedule in March.

It's not my place to say, but I don't think you should be worried. There will be a full announcement when they are ready.
+ Show Spoiler +But since everyone loves to theorycraft I will say this. There MIGHT be a change in a way I haven't seen anyone post yet.

So in the last 3 super tournaments (including this one) and GSL vs the world, Maru and stats have played in the first round of 3 of those tournaments and the other one Maru played against dark. That’s rough lol

Wise decision for the organizers. Excited for the 2020 season!

+ Show Spoiler +Now the floodgates have been open, you have no idea what you ahve started. Or you have and then it's mean you should play the next Joker(or write a script  )
Well played, sir, well played!

Darn, sucks to hear that the tournament is being delayed. Oh well, would've just ended up with terran (already under-represented) not doing well because of balance anyways.

It was never called "season" before wasnt it? At this point, personally, I am 90% sure this means Code S is no more. https://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/eymv36/2020_gsl_super_tournament_season_1_bracket/
They have been called seasons in the previous years, at least in the Korean postings of the event.

Is there actual dates for this yet? I will be in Korean in early March, and would love to go.

If that was the case Afreeca would be keeping a very low profile, not feeding the hype train like they just did.
Afreeca are hinting at a possible change (that is being negotiated still) that none of us have guessed. The only reason a company would purposefully fan the flames of speculation is when the change is a good one. Or at the very least neutral depending on the perspective.
Afreeca writing that, personally made me 90% sure there will be GSL and possibly even with something extra that makes it even better than before.

Sad for Jinair boys... Maru vs Stats again :/ Trap another PvP? He can pretty much forfeit he cant play it to save his life. And Rogue vs sOs teamkill. Meh
At least Cure gets an easy way into his bracket side finals
My old friend, Trap actually beat Classic to reach his first Code S final(and was more than decent in PvP in Olimoleague) whereas his PvZ caused him to get eliminated by four Premiers(twice in a final).
I hope that Cure's path to the final will be easy but I would not count on it.
On a side note, I don't see Dark beating Rogue.

Here's my theory: GSL is going to become a dual tournament encompassing SC2 and a reality cooking show.

Ok, thanks for that. And for taking the level of confusion to the max

soO is really unlucky with the Super Tournament brackets. He always gets a nasty opponent :D

I heard the epidemic situation in Korea is getting worse,will the GSL ST go as planned?
|
Probably not, it's only going to get worse
