2012 GSL Season 1 Complete Groups Announced!

Dear GOMTV.net users,

2012 HOT6 GSL Season 5 alongside with IPL Season 5 at Las Vega was a very successful ending to 2012. Thank you so much for the support and cheers you gave us during that great tournament!

But now, it’s time to unveil the first champions of the year in 2013 GSL Season 1 Code S Ro32! The players have been readying themselves for this moment for a long time now and it is time to show off what they are capable of. No longer will they get another chance like this, because... this will be the final season of Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty in the GSL!


Groups have been set for 2013 GSL Season 1 Code S.

- For Code S Ro32, players are divided into 4 tiers
* Tier 1: The Top 8 of GSL Season 4
* Tier 2: 2012 GSL Point Ranking 1-8
* Tier 3: 2012 GSL Point Ranking 9-16
* Tier 4: 2012 GSL Point Ranking 17-24



A Code S seed has been given to Stephano (Ilyes Satouri) who has constantly seen excellent results in many foreign tournaments.


Code S Ro32 Groups

- 2012 GSL Season 5 Champion, Sniper has selected Huk (Chris Loranger) for his group.
- 2012 GSL Season 5 Runner-up, HyuN has selected BBoongBBoong for his group.

LOL @ Startale.. loses 2 Code S players, still has 4.

I really hope they don't end up closing after not being able to afford Squirtle and Parting but with 4 more Code S players, they have what they need to impress sponsors, especially with Life still kicking ass.

I don't think it's about them not being able to afford them. I mean, ESF players don't even get salaries, unless that changed. When you don't pay salaries, it's a bit hard to argue that the reason you lose players is being unable to afford them. I'm sure Parting left because he can command a high salary on a team that pays salaries. I don't think Squirtle is in quite the same situation, since he doesn't have close to the results of Parting. But hey, FXOBoSs did say that there were some changes afoot with Korea and the ESF, so maybe this is part of that.

But yeah, ST still really, really, ridiculously stronk.

Squirtle, Symbol and Hyun all without teams? Oh dear!!

GL to stephano, I think he can get out of his group.

man group A looks so strong

[CleighMoores]

All I want to see is Stephano come out the other side with some strong results and a big impression. I think he can at LEAST make it to the round of 16, maybe even further if he can bring his A game!

[SLCN.NXZ]

Life and creator out of group A, Leenock and curious out of B, sniper and gumiho out of C, group D for don't have a clue, parting and losira out of E, MKP/MVP and Keen out of F, taeja and nestea out of G, drg and stephano out of H.

Fighting!

A strong representation from all three races this GSL!
