I am pretty excited to see this, hopefully some more information trickles out throughout the week, as this is supposed to start on fri. I'm interested to see the format, (it was supposed to be a bracket style 2x elimination right?)

Cool stuff, nice chart too.


Thanks.  The chart format is actually lifted from the main liquipedia GSL Rankings page, so I can't take credit for it:


http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/GOMTV_Global_Starcraft_II_League/Rankings


However, I've been the primary guy updating that page for the past couple of months.  Since I don't have editor status on LP yet, any update  s I make have to be "checked" by an editor before the public can see them.  This means that newly-earned points might not show up there for a day or two. (Currently, the list there doesn't include any of this week's Code A/S results.) Usually, this isn't such a big deal, but with WCS Korea making the ranking list more relevant at this time, I copied the table over to my userspace, where edits are applied instantly (so any lag in update s is totally in my control).

Yes.  The win moved him from 15th to 7th in the running points total, and he can only be passed by the NesTea/Byun winner (and NaNiwa, but he doesn't count).

Great news!
 
Khaldor and Wolf will  be casting this. I can just imagine how this went internally. When the news was announced internally Artosis was like "Dudes, I need to cast that!". GOM: "Sure, if you and Tasteless would like to cast that, that would be great." Tasteless: "That is not Code S, it's not in my contract." GOM: "We ARE going to pay you for that, you know?". Tasteless: "Not in my contract, that could take really long.". Khaldor: "Well, if you don't want, I would be happy to cast that." GOM:  "You're up to that, Wolf?". Wolf: "Sure.". GOM: Ok, you two to do, Wolf and Khaldor.".
Khaldor: "Yeeeeeehaaaaaa!"
Artosis: "Sigh"
Tasteless: *leaves room*
 
Sorry, just getting the impression Tasteless doesn't enjoy casting as much any more.
 
I really like Khaldor, but Wolf and Artosis would be my favorite casting duo for this, when they casted together that was really great.


cool story bro?

With this being a WCS event, will HQ streaming be free? 


I second this, I am also wondering if we will need to buy a ticket for this. I remember blizzard had guidelines as to how WCS tournaments needed to be run, but i do not remember the specifics. (ie: are you allowed to charge others to watch wcs)

yay! is this the "extra tournament" that's been hyped on the 3-day trial page?


Seems really legit. Will GSL/GSTL be on hiatus while this tournament commences?
