EPTEven 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.

Maybe it's time to have GSL to be more robust for more players? eg expanding Code S to 32 players and making Code A bigger? 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) | ||

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. | ||

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

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). | ||
