The winner of each GPD open is awarded with one hour of professional coaching from a coach in this thread (link) . Winner should contact the coach directly, state which GPD Open he/she had won, preferably before each GPD Open Season ends. I understand this list can be rather volatile.

SO for this season of GPD Opens #113 to #116 leading to GPD Cup #3, the winner will be able claim one hour of professional coaching from Enderr. Conditions, it's one session per person for the GPD Opens. So if someone wins 2 GPD Opens, he can only claim once.

The winner must claim the session before GPD Cup #3 or at least have made arrangements with him for when the session will take place.

RULES AND REGULATIONS

+ [Tournament Eligibility] +

Players must have their own SEA account; playing on another's account is not allowed.
You must be , or on any of the 4 servers (SEA, NA, KR or EU).
You should not be and above in this season (2015 Season 3) and/or had been in the last (2015 Season 2) on ANY server. *subject to change/update each season*
If you have achieved on any server in HOTS at any time, you will not be allowed to join. The only exception being if you have achieved on only SEA. From GPD #110, SEA will be treated similarly to having achieved , as long as you have laddered on another server and show proof that you are GPD on the other active server.
Example : If you were briefly on SEA server previously just to get that badge at least once in your SC2 career, as long as you are not or the next season (aka this season 3 2015) on SEA AND still legitly GPD on the other server(s) which you ladder actively on, you will be permitted (similar to guidelines) to take part in GPD Opens again after skipping a season.

If in doubt please feel free to ask for clarification.
Active laddering means at least 30 games on active account before GPD Opens #113. This is especially important for those who play on KR and SEA with the MMR reset this season.
