this 4 bracket will be incredibly luck based
last season formula for the last round was clearly much fairer

Well the last Round actually is seeded from the Day 2 Round 1 Results, so it s not purely luck


it's basically the worst formula they could ever make up: If Creator didn't lose to Natural, bracket A would've had Creator, Bomber and Prince while the other 3 brackets being a joke in comparison
and 2 guys didn't even play so 2 brackets are actually 3 man brackets...

they waste 2 days with useless double elimination brackets just to confirm that the top guys qualify (like there's a realistic chance of someone else eliminating them in 2020) then for the last spots, the ones that really matter in a qualifier, they do this? come on!
i'd rather have the entire RO16 of S2 invited to S3 and a more meaningful qualifier, a real code A, for the last 12 spots

Natural, Spear, Percival, and Chance would all be new to code S right?

I think SuNo could have made Code S if he showed for this last group.

There are exactly zero new names this season. Spear is FXOTree from back in the day. I guess technically he never made code S before but he's not new

He's new to getting smashed in the first round of Code S.

The state of GSL is honestly sad at this point tho.

Unfortunately I think Korea was ignored for too long for new players to enter the stage. The damage seems irreversible. At this point, old players will return and some of them might do well (I‘d be surprised if ByuN didn‘t do well, tbh) , but I don‘t see young players joining the scene.

Although I would disagree that the state is sad. It‘s just kind of... fixed with little to no change in the field. The players that are there are mostly still good though. Some might get smashed, but that happens in every sport, every league - and even in Finals.

Feel free to disagree. But Code S was already reduced from 32 players to 28 this year, and considering these qualifier brackets it won't be long before 28 is unjustifiable. For every 1 guy coming back from the military several guys leave.

The sky has been falling since 2011. I know someday GSL will be over but it's not this year and I'm going to keep enjoying it as long as it lasts.
