2022 Global StarCraft II League: Season 1

The two-day qualifier for Code S Season 1 has concluded, finalizing the twenty-player roster for the main tournament. The top four Super Tournament finishers Zest, Dark, Maru, and Zoun received direct seeds, while sixteen players earned their spots through the qualifiers.

Code S Season 1 is scheduled to begin on March 21st, with the specific groups to be announced at a later date. Viewers should note that the Code S format has been significantly altered, though the first round of the tournament still consists of familiar 'GSL-style' groups.

[image loading]


The 2021 format of GSL featured 24 total players per season across both Code A and Code S. The 2022 format of GSL has removed Code A, but has expanded Code S to begin with 20 players (net reduction of four players per season). Here are the roster changes between Season 3 of 2021 and Season 1 of 2022:

In+
  • (Wiki)NightMare
  • (Wiki)herO

Out-
  • (Wiki)PartinG (retired)
  • (Wiki)sOs (retired)
  • (Wiki)Leenock (switched to Age of Empires)
  • (Wiki)KeeN
  • (Wiki)SpeCial
  • (Wiki)Percival

I kind of wish they'd stop cutting players, but I do appreciate the experimentation with format.

I hate round robins though...

Surprisingly even distribution of the races.

I hope for a good season of code S!

One advantage of cutting to a top six is that it's the same number of slots Korea has in the DH season finals.

It was always a bit awkward the last two years when the GSL quarterfinalists had to play off against each other in a single bo5 for two pretty lucrative spots in the season finals.

That does make sense actually

I dunno, format change (and fewer players in an already struggling scene) I’m really not sold on. The format I’d have to see it in action and it could deliver, just not sure either way yet.

First prize is way too out in front of second too, so not a huge fan of that.

Anyone got a link to the qualifier brackets?

Glad for herO, saw that ForGG tried to qualify. Did he actually play much recently? Sad he didn't do it since he was doing pretty good on Day 1 it seems.

Also considering Leenock is doing fairly well at Age of Empires it might have been a good choice for him to switch.

The link at the top of the post can be used. It has the qualifier as a separate tab, as is customary for GSL code S.

Another link is the alpha x crew's cast which you can read about here

ForGG always plays in the qualifiers, he streams SC2 quite a bit on twitch too

I dont remember the last time i watched a tourney with round robins. Feels like tiebreakers are so obnoxious but im sure that’ll be ironed out.

I remember ages ago in Code A round robin tiebreakers, it went on for I don't know how long due to it being best of 1's.
I even forgot the players involved but I do remember Wolf was there casting it. It was stupid but funny how it felt like it'd never end.

Excited to see how Ryung performs after his very very impressive display at Katowice!
KeeN not qualifying (didn't check if he tried) is a bit weird after his good return in that EPT cup, but I am not surprised about Percival given his performances at Katowice.
Leenock switching games seem like the ultimate move since he is very successful in AoE4 at the moment

More like 24-28 players. 32 would've been a bit too much, you would've filled a couple of spots with players that aren't really competitive
