Hi guys, Code S will start next week Monday - Thursday. You will only be required to play on ONE of those days, and match time is tentatively at 5pmSGT or 9pmSyd/Melb. You would need to confirm participation NOW and also have to tell me if theres any particular day you cannot play on, and i will schedule the groups accordingly.

Groups will be randomly drawn live on stream.
The scheduling will be done to suit the groups after that.

For example if group X has ice,jesse,targa, kowi after the draw, that will be the final group and it will stay intact. However, the schedules will then be looked at and the games will be played on the day most appropirate for members of the group for e.g Thursday as none of the players can make it on Monday.

all positions in each of the 4 groups are first assigned a number.

Group 1	Group 2	Group 3	Group 4
1	4	7	10
2	5	8	11
3	6	9	12

the 12 code S players are listed in the following fixed alphabetical order.

Aaron
Edge
filthy
Iceiceice
jazbas
Jesse
Kowi
Oxygen
RedArchon
Revenant
roz
YYJ

http://www.random.org/sequences/ will generate randomly a list of numbers from 1 to 12.
the players will be assigned the random number based on their exact position in the list.
The players are then placed into their groups based on their random numbers according to the pre-determined format at the very top.

+ [Example] +

e.g random.org first numbers generated =
5
4
12
...etc

So Aaron gets 5 which is 2nd position in group 2.
edge gets 4 which is 1st position in group 2
filthy gets 12 which is 3rd position in group 4

So in terms of maps, Match 1 = Player A vs Player B = 1st position vs 2nd position = Aaron vs Edge.

Code A follows the exact same process as code S but from 13 to 16.

all positions in each of the 4 groups are first assigned a number.

Group 1	Group 2	Group 3	Group 4
13	14	15	16

the 4 code A players are listed in the following fixed alphabetical order.

Fah
iaguz
Refallen
Targa

Maps for Code S

Match 1 & Match 2 = GSL Crevasse
Match 3 & Match 4 = GSL Tal'Darim Altar
Match 5 = GSL Terminus Re

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
Match 4: Loser of 1 vs Loser of 2
Match 5: Loser of 3 vs Winner of 4 -> winner of this match advances to Ro8
