Hey all recently GomTV just posted some news regarding changes they will be making to GSL Code A and S, and its all pretty much here..

http://www.gomtv.net/2011super1/news/65340

what are your thoughts on this? Personally I feel that this is a change for the better, it allows more foreigners to get into Code S or A, and also it removes some of the volatility of Code S in the past because now its only the 4th place in the group that goes to the Up/Down Matches and not the 3rd and 4th placings.

The MSL Ro32 format is a good change.

I dislike the groups because you could no play someone in your group and advance creating unfair situations like InCa only having to play Huk and Rain(lol) and not July which he probs would of lost to. So like the winner 1 vs winner 2 and loser 1 vs loser 2 then that is a good change. Also that the winner of code A also gets automatic Code S is good because it takes up from them picking the two worst players and then the second worst player in code S gets to stay in code S by default which is kind of silly.

i like the changes it will be interesting to see how they turn out i agree with uncletoms points on the way the groups could be slanted but hopefully code s should get to the stage where any1 can beat any1 and not who will win out of nestea mc and mvp

from watching GSTL, Code S and Code A don't really have much difference actually in terms of skill level (though there's a huge difference in prize pool)..

Well, it used to be a pretty big difference, but with each passing GSL, code A gets harder and harder to compete in.

GSTL is so much better to watch than regular GSL. Can't wait to watch it weekly!

Weekly GSTL is the best change.

I wish GSL would do something to ensure that skill instead of luck gets players through the group stage.
