Yes, but I did run tournaments for 2 years so that helps... kind of. It still took way too much time to figure out.

Which format are we talking about the new one or the old one?
Old one (The Open Seasons) - Yes
New one (The Closed Seasons) - Kinda / not quite

I believe the new one is a mix of Open/Closed. 32 entrants from previous seasons battle for 32 spots and any amount of entrants from outside of Code S/A battle for 32 spots, together composing a Ro64. Though I've only seen the format explained once or twice, in Korean on GOMTV so I may very well be wrong. ^^

Yeah, I heard the same thing but I barely know any details.

Oh, and I think it's considered to be Closed because it's only available to people who have been successful in previous GSLs.

I only understand the general idea. All I really get is that there are tourneys and then tourneys to get into those tourneys

I have a general idea, but I'm fuzzy on some of the details. I put Don't Care, though, since it doesn't really matter that much to me.

For the people finding it hard to understand, I think it's the kind of system that will make much more sense once it's implemented.

Nope, don't get it.... but honestly i haven't had time to sit down and read about it yet. I listened to DjWheat trying to explain it and I think he definitely didn't get it^^ I'll sit down and read it at some point.

Same, I've half heartedly tried to understand it, didn't manage and decided it really isn't important. Epic games and hopefully learning a thing or two keeps me watching.

it makes sense, its kind of like how soccer is run in certain leagues
You're about as useful as a one-legged man in an arse kicking contest.

Ya, I'm way into the GSL, so I made sure I understood everything, but some aspects are not easy to understand at first glance (like the Code S group stage), so more casual viewers might not get everything until they actually see how it works in the tournament.

Yes, but only because I read up on it and made a good hard attempt to understand. But when it first came out I was clueless.
