a) There will now be 3 Supertournaments. b) The GSL will have 24 players rather than 28. c) Instead of the 6x 4-player Ro28 groups, there will be 16 players playing head-to-head in Bo5 to get into the Code S Ro16 groups, so effectively one group stage, not two. d) This also means that the process of getting to 16 players will probably take 4 days of Code A Bo5s rather than 6 days of groups. e) As long as qualifiers are at least a little bit before the Code A Bo5s and the Code A Bo5 matchups are drawn a little in advance, we may see players able to prepare specifically for a single opponent. f) Because top-4 in Supertournament is a qualifying criterion for Code S, the first Korean tournament of 2021 will be a Supertournament. Anything else of note? | ||

Anything else of note? all seems correct the big mistery at the moment for me is how they'll determine the 16 code A spots. inside the qualifier for the 4 RO16 spots? or with a different system? | ||

I'm not sure if you are just bad at math or you are trolling. GSL has been 24-players in the first group stage this whole year. So 8 players from Code A advancing to meet 16 players from Code S = 24 players. Exact the same amount of players. How is that different from this year Code S? | ||

How is that different from this year Code S? that's not what the picture says, the picture says top 8 from Code A meet the top 4 from super tournament and top 4 from qualifiers, that's 16 players, and it even says they play in the Code S round of 16 On December 12 2020 20:56 machinus wrote: The 16 players in the Code S RO16 will be: The top 4 players from the last Super Tournament The top 4 players form qualifiers.

Yes the total is 28 but I meant the first group stage is 24. The other 4 are invited so they didn't play anything until Ro16. | ||

But obviously this 2021 change implies that it's coming back as a broadcasted tournament with more weight. | ||

Also curious if this already tells us something about EPT. Will they do 3x season finals to line up with Code S, plus 3x foreigner only (or regional) tournaments to line up with super tournament? Excited to see the details. | ||

Could someone suggest this to Afreeca? I hope this means that we will get 3 GSL Code S, 3 Super Tournaments and 3 Global Season Finals (top Korean vs Top foreigners) like we have had with Dreamhack Masters. | ||
