someone should have told zenio that no man can defeat the gracken.

and im pretty sure he doesnt have Medusa head lying around as backup.
 
mvp and zenio deserved to advance, really solid.

Fruitdealer will stay in Code S no doubt. It doesn't look that rosy for jookto, he's 3-10 in GSL now. :o

If you can defeat two Code S players in a row, you deserve to advance, cheese or not. :p
 
They are playing gisado on non-ladder, "experimental" maps and according to the korean restreamer, one of the maps will be used on GSL (???)
 
Regarding foreigners and Code A:

It seems that any foreigners can play in the Code A qualifiers, but 4 selected foreigners will get into Code A for free.
 
hahahaha^^ so complicated

The observer was pretty poor today, i hope it gets better/is switched back to tasteless.


And blizz please +5 second build time to marines.
 
Yeah, the observer had some really poor moments--worse today than the previous day. I really hope he improves. I much prefer Tasteless' commentary with the separate observer, but not if it's going to permanently ruin the observing.
 
Look, I'm sure I could take the time and effort to understand that chart, but this is complete bullshit. It's incredibly complex, ridiculous, and worse than the BCS bowl system.

Fuck off, GSL.
 
That chart is much easier to understand if you already understand how the Code S, Code A and the up/down matches work now.

The only random and unexplained factor is the foreigners and how they'll fit in in this whole new system since GOM didn't exactly clarify it yet.

The chart makes it WAYYYY more complicated than it really is. All you need to know is basically: the losers of the Code S group stage have to face off against the winning Code A players, and the winners of the Code S group stage get to stay in Code S another season. The losers of the Code A tournament have to defend against newcomers who weren't in the tournament the previous season.

Honestly, it's a pretty straightforward thing overall, I can't think of any more complicated way to represent it than that bracket.

Code S Tournament:
Ro32 - 8 groups of 4 - Top 2 in each group advance
Ro16 - 4 groups of 4 - Top 2 in each group advance
Ro8 begins knockout phase until Code S champion is found.

Code A Tournament simultaneously:
Ro32 all the way until the end is normal knockout style.

Up/Down Matches:
Bottom 16 Code S players and top 8 Code A players put into groups of 3.
Top 2 in each group go to Code S -- loser to Code A. Whoever placed 3rd in their group has two chances to stay in Code S, 4th and the Code A player have one try.

This is all that is aired on GOM, and all you need to know.

Actually I think the code A player has two chances to get into code S. If he loses against the 3rd place player, he gets to play the 4th place one, the winner goes to code S and loser to code A.

The 4 invites are getting into Code A itself for free, not the Code A qualifiers? That is awesome, kudos Gom.


Poor ret going through these nail-biting qualification matches. :lol

Yup straight into Code A, so it's possible to move to korea and be in code S within a month, that is exciting.
 
I don't think the system is that confusing.

I wonder who the 4 foreigners are going to be however.

When they say world wide tournament, do they mean Dreamhack, blizzcon, wcg, etc?

Yeah, I speculated before that

Dreamhack
Blizzcon
MLG series
IEM Global Challenge

are probably the biggest non-Korean tournaments out there. At least they were in 2009. I'm not sure that a community-driven tournament like TSL3 will be considered, but in terms of prize money it would certainly be up there (35k$ total).

But as long as Gom doesn't specify this, the 4 invite spots are basically a free pass for them to invite some good prolific players. :D

tis 15k for the winner

I assume at first they'll invite HuK, Select + a few others in Korea who have performed well over the year (both did well at MLG's)

d'oh, you're right it's ~35k in total. Not on MLG levels (considering how many events they've got lined up) but still up there with Dreamhack.

Wasn't the last MLG's (Dallas?) 1st place prize money only 6,250. The TSL has more for the winner but less money overall for the placings.

Edit: Found some prize money information.

You are right though, MLG run multiple events a year whilst the TSL is only once a year.

MLG Dallas

Total: $17,50

1st Place: $6,250
2nd Place: $3,750
3rd Place: $2,500
4th Place: $1,750
5th Place: $1,250
6th Place: $875
7th Place: $625
8th Place: $500

damn it you edited your post!

Hoping the MLG prizes get bigger this year, considering they've had a $10mil boost in funding and that their 2010 budget was like 40mil.. that's quite the increase!

I hope so. Right now Halo 3 4x4 is where the big money is for the MLG tournament.

1st place got 100k.

That's true, but JP let on on SotG that we're going to see an increase in MLG SCII prize money in 2011 due to its popularity at the three events it was a part of so far.

We don't know the numbers yet, but I'm very sure that MLG's 2011 total will be larger than TSL's.

I will subscribe to this thread. Searching for it was too much pain in the ass.

Just type in Gom in the search field in the upper right and scan the page for "Sponsorship" - it'll always be on the front page. Or better yet, use the neogaf seach plugin for Firefox, since that one produces even better results (this thread is #2). Never had a problem finding this thread.

Fuck, even the Brawl and Tekken winners got more than Jinro. :lol :lol

That just ain't right.


edit: Halo 3 isn't going to be featured in 2011, but I hear Reach will basically take over. Not at the same prizepool level at first, though, so that should open up some possibilities for Starcraft II.

I hope they make an announcement soon. Continue the momentum.

Argh wtf at yesterday's Code S matches!!!!!

Fruuuuuuuuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit Deaaaaaaaaaaaaaler :( :( :(

Liking the Code A + Code S match counts though, and the Bo1 (Code S at least) makes them seem at least so far a higher quality match.
