So since Dual Tournament's finished, I'll go ahead and start with Survivor League. They changed the Survivor league format this season. They've abandoned the 3 players per group method, and is now using the Dual Tournament mini dbl-bracket method. The process, however, is still very confusing. Try to keep up now, will ya?

*This is how Wild Card will work.

The 7 players who lose in the Round 2 Finals match will all play in a Tournament style bo1 single elim match. Out of the 7, the person with the highest KeSPA rank will get a bye on the first round.

The winner of the mini-tourney will play 2 sets of bo3's with Ever)Z(aQua. However, because aQua does not get a second chance like the others, he will have a 1-0 lead in the sets, meaning he only needs to win 1 bo3 while his opponent needs to win 2.

Yay, Can I get a quote from you stating that I am in fact a Genius!?

From an overall standpoint that definitely makes sense.

- First round determines players who simply don't have it, the group winners, and the group second place.
- MSL qualification round is the group first place gamers playing to qualify for MSL.
- Round 2 is the losers from the MSL qualification round, the last place players from the MBCGame Starleague Round of 16 groups, and the losers from first round fighting to survive.
- Round 3 is the winners of round 2, the third place players from the MBCGame Starleauge Round of 16 Groups, and the fourth place players from the MBCGame Starleague Round of 8 groups fighting to get into MSL.

So convulted though. And I also get to be a genius, awesome.

It's not that hard to understand Live2Win, and thanks for posting it! I don't know which set I liked better though, I think a part of me still loves the 3 1v1's because I think it takes more skill to get out of that.

Wow~ We have a high chance of seeing Rainbow or Zeus possibly~.
I sorta do wanna see Zeus again... I'd honestly like to see him winning. He's a good guy on TV to watch. Really fuckin funny sometimes.

Rainbow is cool too, but I really think Zeus has a possible chance at another Starleague. His possible brackets make me happy~

Where can I find the results of the offline qualifiers? I'd like to know the results of Canata.

And who the hell did beat July, Sea[Shield], Reach and Stork?! I can't believe they are all out of the the upcoming 2 MSLs, although the qualifiers for Pringels 3 (probably?) have just begun!

All I see so far is the race distibution of the players who advanced:

4P/9T/11Z

so you've got a déja vue?
If so, here comes a hint: Have a look at the race distribution for Shinhan 2! P's are becoming extinct!

Ill try to break this down into steps.

First Stage.

The survivor league starts with 32 gamers, and cuts that number in half right away with a dual league process. We are down to 16 now, 8 of them ranked one (2-0 winners) and 8 ranked two (2-1 winners).

Second Stage.

The 8 first rank players play each other in bo3 series and the four winners go to the MSL. Now we have 4 rank one players and 8 rank two players left.

Third Stage.

For the 8 rank two players, we need 8 opponents. Four of them are the losers of the second stage, while the other four are the fourth place losers from the current MSL groups (being picked tonight). They matchup and play a bo3.

Fourth Stage.

The winners of the 8 third stage matches play the third place losers from the current MSL groups. The winners advance to the next MSL. This makes 8 players, plus 4 MSL seeds, plus 4 survivor league rank one players for a total of 16.

Some notes

- The survivor league and the MSL run at the same time, with the MSL losers moving to the survivor league while the MSL playoffs take place.

- To get back to the MSL, a third place group finisher must win one series. A fourth place group finisher must win two series.

- To get to the MSL from below, a gamer must get top two in his survivor group. If he wins that and a playoff, he is in. If he comes in second in his survivor group, he must win two more series.

I hope this clears some things up.

The reason it's simple to read now is because when I translated the dates and names of the matches I changed it to my own way to make it look easier!

Before it was labeld much more confusing! >.<

nvm, just found it on fighterforum, and found out what asked for. And also whom Yellow, Anytime and Casy lost to.

Or at least if those, whose names could be translated with progamizer.

Ok, no problem:

famous players and whom they lost to:

July vs n.Die_cHalRengE
Stork vs Inter.Calm
Anytime vs ][Min][Gu][
Casy vs Junwi_[saM]

Progamizer couldn't translate the names of the players who defeated Sea[Shield], Reach and Yellow

Canata won against Stay[Hyo] and another player, who also couldn't be identified by progamizer.

@Live2win: where did you get the names of all the players form? there are several names in your first post, of which progamizer hasn't got any clue of.
