Dear Teamliquid.net users,
After an exciting first week of GSTL Season 2, we are now ready to get started with the hardest league in the world, GSL Season 3 Code S.
We're all still a bit shaken from the amazing Grand Finals of last season, but our 32 players are already preparing to show their best and we're looking forward to even better games and are expecting a new hero to emerge soon.
This season's Code S will be the the most balanced competition in terms of race distribution. We hope everyone is looking forward to it as much as we do!
Our 32 players have been placed in to certain tiers according to their accumulated GSL points and were then evenly and randomly placed into 8 groups of 4. For details on the system you may read here: http://www.gomtv.net/forum/view.gom?topicid=219114&cid=0&kind=8
This is the player tier list for GSL Season 3:
ThorZaiN as well as viOLet have received Code S seeds for their outstanding results in international tournaments.
ThorZaiN has once again proven his skill by winning the last DreamHack and viOLet seems to be in his prime right now, placing first in the MLG Spring Arena 2 in addition to several other great showings in other tournaments.
Last season's champion Mvp picked SuHoSin for his group, our runner-up Squirtle picked Thorzain into his group.
The complete groups for Code S Ro32 are as follows:
We hope everyone is looking forward to GSL Season 3!
Thank you.

I wonder if the zergs will actually play good this time around :x
Lets go ThorZaIN!
|
I really hope ThorZaIN doesn't embarass himself and lose everything.
|
Funny that Nani chose Creator. hum... I wonder why... trolololol
|
There's only one group that doesn't have all 3 races. Which is pretty far from the GomTvT we once had to put up with.

Only Mvp and Squirtle got to choose a player.
|
I am looking forward to Group B. Nestea vs Naniwa rematch maybe!!!
I like that their is no obvious group of death. All of these groups have at least 1 player who is the very obvious underdog of the group and two players who have legit shots at taking out the fairly clear group favorite

Naniwa chose nobody. Its all random minus MVP and Squirtle getting to pick an opponent.
|
Squirtle loving his group
|
Hmmm. Interesting considering viOLet said he didn't intend to go back to Korea.
ThorZaIN has a really hard group. I know every group is hard, but ThorZaIN's group really doesn't play to his strengths. All of his opponents are extremely powerful vT.

Unless they changed the format from last season, only the top 2 from last season (mvp and squirtle) get to chose their opponent. The rest is randomized by tier
|
Group B... I guess NaNiwa finally gets his chance for a redemption against NesTea. May the better player win.
|
Nice groups. They all have good matches and some even have nice story lines.
|
Group F with Parting, Symbol & Marine King looks like the ' Group of Death" to me.
|
Awesome! I can't wait for Code S this season.
|
Dumb marketing move from Squirtle to pick an foreigner in EGThorZaiN, couldve picked any other player and chooses the foreigner who beat NaNiwa in TSL just feel its a grudge move then anything else..
&
SuperNoVa and TheSTC not on a team by now is mind blogging to me.. like Liquid pick up SuperNoVa already, he has Liquid written all over him

So the groups leaked yesterday were correct.
|
Thorzain and Naniwa with the easiest groups.
|
Oh gods, it looks like with the end of the Keen-Nada rivalry, we have the new Parting-MKP. They seriously meet in every group. T_T Go MKP!
|
>_> Same groups as posted yesterday...
Group F and Group B groups of death
People underestimate Group B
NESTEA.
Naniwa has proven himself in GSL
Creator is on fire and STC beat freaking Jjajki and DRG last season in his group
And God, Ganzi MC and MarineKing Parting always fighting
Nestea Naniwa round 3 too
