Not really, I dont think they need to expand the tournament at this moment. I mean who are the notable players that missing from code A? herO, forGG, and Hurricane? Its not like the competition is so fierced that top players wont be able to make it in the current format.
Even in Code A, there are already are couple of 3-0 matches where the games werent that close. So I think having the bigger player pool will negatively impact the quality of the tournament.

Not sure I agree with expanding Code S at this time until the veterans really prove themselves to be deserving of the Code S title, but they could expand Code A

instead of 8 bo5 matches (16 players with 8 advancing), we could have 4 groups of 5 players each (20 players with 8 advancing)

Classic, Ryung, Leenock and Gumiho, those are some names I'm really happy to see back in GSL ! Can't wait to see how they fare in their upcoming bo5s.

Nice to see Classic back into the groove already, anyone got any idea why Hurricane didn’t try this time round?

Hurricane has not played a single map every since losing to SoS in S2 code A, maybe he decided to retire or he maybe just giving himself a break, might have to see if he participates in Rog qualifiers.

Might mitigate the chances of one of the two best players in Code A having to be eliminated if the top players are drawn together.

Does make for a more exciting Code A, but does ultimately potentially take away from Code S a bit I find.

Glad to see Percival is still here. Hope he does decent.

I suppose these VODs are not available right? I always forget what the status is of AfreecaTV's decision on this. Thanks for the update either way though!

Alpha X will do/has already done replay casts for some of the matches, if I recall correctly, so you may want to check their channels for VODs. Otherwise there won't be any material available.

Edit: Found the post.
FYI, Alpha X will provide a replay cast for these qualifiers, mainly qualifying matches from Day 1 and 2 on http://play.afreecatv.com/alphaxsc2
We should be casting them either on Thursday or Friday (to be announced).

I am a shameless Percival fanboy, so even though he is a clear underdog, I want him to make it to the finals.
