As someone who has played in GPD tournaments both as offrace and after a long break from SC2, I'm with the other guys. Masters absolutely shouldn't be allowed in the GPD cup. Current or former.

I agree, I mean you wouldnt hold this kind of event for platinum players to give them a spot in a BSG cup would you, I dont see why the same wouldnt be applied with the GPD cup
It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.

Considering the different points made, I like what schnitzel proposed to spice it up. So winner of this tourney will vs the winner of the GPD cup for a small prize seems good
Add on : And the highest placing non masters will get a wildcard spot too (BSGPD)
