The groups for the first Code S tournament of 2014 have been drawn and the schedule has been released. Following the traditional GSL method, players were divided into four tiers depending on their placement in the previous season and amount of GSL points they earned in 2013, with one player from each tier being drawn into every group (full tier list on GomTV.com).
