Kowi has been uncontactable for the past week and has been replaced by nGenLight
The timings were made according to the players availablity so the groups are not played in order. i.e Group 4 goes first.
Also if there are 3 players in SEA it starts at 7pm SGT /10pm Sydney and if there are 3 ANZ players it starts at 5pm SGT / 8pm Sydney - This is because some SEA players have a problem with making it at 5pm SGT.
The monday/tues matches coincide with the GSL korea vs foreigner finals but i dont see a solution for that but this will be a good gauge/test to know many viewers we will lose if we clash with gsl timings.
Match 1: Player A vs Player B
Match 2: Player C vs Player D
Match 3: Winner of 1 vs Winner of 2 -> winner of this match advances Ro8 as #1 seed
Match 4: Loser of 1 vs Loser of 2 -> loser of this match is #4 seed and loses code S status instantly.
Match 5: Loser of 3 vs Winner of 4 -> winner of this match advances to Ro8 as #2 seed
Match 6: Loser of 5 vs Code A finals runner up -> Up/down match, winner gets code S next season.
i.e Match 1 for group 1 = ice vs yoon on GSL Crevasse Code A Finals Runner Ups
Match 1 & Match 2 = GSL Crevasse
Match 3 & Match 4 = GSL Tal'Darim Altar
Match 5 = GSL Terminus Re
Match 6 = Xel Naga Caverns
Map pool will be TSL maps with 1 veto each per player.
Winner vetoes first followed by loser's veto who then also picks map.
Crossfire is no longer in the map pool.
We will be following the example set by TSL by using this extremely balanced map pool. Hopefully more competitions follow suit as well and this becomes the standard
wait, why are you using last seasons code A runner ups?
like, assuming this runs over a month (which it pretty much does), wouldn't it make sense to use the finalists for next SEASL's Code A to see who makes it into that code S, not the previous SEASL's Code A?

that makes sense but if im understanding this right it would mean the up/down match is not played now, but next month instead when next months code A runner up is determined. So #3 in the group will be in a tough spot because he cant take part in any code A tournaments next season cause he wont know if hes still code S or not as the up/down matches will be held right after season2 code a is determined. unlike the GSL because our code a / s seasons are run one after the other not concurrently as it will just too hard for us to manage together.
yea and we wanted an up/down match from the get go with no pior season to base it on so i felt selecting the runner up will be the fairest way to give another code A player a chance. of course we can rework this next season based on the feedback ill be getting but i feel this is good for now.
