If this is really the comeback of Code A, I wonder if this'll end up making the Korean scene look more stagnant than the way it's been until now. | ||

But seriously - after covering the GSL qualifiers last season, I was hoping to do the same again this year. Looks like there may be a shakeup though! Excited to see what the announcement is! | ||

Well it's their studio to begin with, better to use it. And I don't think they'll move away from having every part of GSL played offline. Doesn't feel right. Plus if this is in any way meant to create some sort of growth, it'd be good for the less experienced players to get some stage experience. Don't want one of those guys to reach the Ro16 and then just implode when there's a camera on them. And if you want to assume the worst in people, playing offline also means they can't cheat to win.

Those weekly cup points are a lot more significant with how few points are being given out. Yes, more people qualify to IEM Katowice in 2021 than did past WCS Global Finals, but I feel like there is not going to be a huge difference in terms of points for the people on the cusp. Given that they knew about the format changes, I think it's safe to assume the players also knew about the shift in point distribution. I think at least some of the players the cups will end up relevant for are already playing in them. At the end of the day though, it's 5 cup wins to make up the difference between Code S and (presumably) Code A. You need to win 45 cups to equal a Code S Ro4. So at the end of the day, some players can still be relatively comfortable even if they only perform well in 1 season of GSL. | ||

Before it really seemed like 32 of the 40ish potential players in Korea were making it every season and leaving just a handful out. Now basically everyone good will get in and leave some room for some up-and-comers if they exist anymore | ||
