GomTV has posted info about new group nomination system:

http://www.gomtv.net/forum/view.gom?topicid=214360&cid=0&kind=8

Since Ro32 and Ro16 are now both group plays, with Bo3 matches, Ro32 groups will be decided by random draws from a pool of 4 tier of players.

The GSL champion and runner up pick their first opponent from Tier 4. The rest is random drawing. Ro16 will be standard group nomination system.

It seems like a good decision, as it should prevent MC from picking the strongest group and droping into Code B. At least in the Ro32.

Haha nobody can pick forgg and be confident I think except MVP cause he never loses in TvT (MMA always beats him I know)

tier 4 looks more dangerous than tier 3, some of that new blood is scary

That's actually kinda cool. A bit of an odd way to go about it, but I like that they're attempting to seed the players more by ranking. Makes for much better games as the tournament progresses.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

No, IdrA and Sen have actually been given Code S spots, for their results.

idra's in tier 3 because he has GSL points from earlier in the year. Tiers 2-4 are ranked based on 2011 GSL points

aww yee, i'm hyped.

hope mvp and forgg aren't in the same group.

even if it was on ladder, the smashing that was delivered will not provide justice for the fans. not yet anyway.

No, I'm pretty sure it'll work the same way as last season, losers in the group stage will drop down to Code A.

What this is announcing is a new group stage format where you can't hand pick players, but are instead randomized by GSL point rankings.
You called down the thunder, now reap the whirlwind.

...? Sen has arguably the best results of any foreigner, placing consistently high at almost every big event and Idra has a good deal of GSL points + MLG results.

So there not showing this?

Says on website;
The GSL format has been completely revamped for our 2012 series. As Code S Ro.16 will be played in dual tournament mode, Group Nomination has been moved after the Code S Ro.32 Group stage. Therefore, 2012 GSL Season 1 Code S Ro.16 Group Nomination will be broadcasted on January 20th, 2012. Only strongest 16 players who have qualified fierce competition will be in Group Nomination and you can enjoy more interviews and more contents.


So they only showing the RO16 draw? Hope this is just bad wording, i like watching all of them talk to eachother and banter. Plus with Idra there im sure the banter will be up a level

There is no Ro32 draw. It's (mostly) random seeding, if you read OP.
