They mistook Sting for Hero. Pretty sure Hero will be playing and not Sting. The format is the same as last year: two five men groups. Top three move onto the knockout rounds, with the top two from each group being placed directly in semifinals. Biggest format change is that instead of Bo1 group stage matches, every match in pool play will be Bo3.



It starts on the 17th of December and ends on the 22nd.



For the 2013 GSL Tour, there will be four regular GSL seasons with Code S staying exactly the same and Code A/Up and Down matches getting slight changes that will be announced soon.



For GSTL, there will be two GSTL seasons, but they will be in full league format more like Proleague with a long regular season and playoffs.



For GOMTV itself, there will be enhanced HQ and a new flash player that GOM will put on their site you can use instead of GOMTV. Meaning you no longer need to download anything to watch GSL.

Shellshock Profile Blog Joined March 2011 United States 95659 Posts #4 I like the changes so far. Looking forward to the new GSTL. More team league matches can't be a bad thing, right? Kind of sad that there will only be 4 GSLs next year, but they were kind of crammed to get a 5th one in this year and the shorter tournament caused a lot of people to complain, so I guess it's for the best.

PhoenixVoid Profile Blog Joined December 2011 Canada 16298 Posts #14 I like the more spread out GSLs, S5 just felt forced to combine with IPL and I think the scheduling may have tampered with some player's quality of skill due to lack of time. Having more GSTL matches is good though, and all those new stream upgrades are nice. I'm afraid of demented knife-wielding escaped lunatic libertarian zombie mutants

Sting won IEM Singapore. Hero won DH Winter. Seeing as DH Winter was apart of the Blizzard Cup last year (which Hero won), pretty sure it means Hero is qualified and not Sting.



It's pretty much the same format as last year except they switched MLG Providence with IPL5, IEM NY with OSL, and I think Blizzcon for BWC. Sting won IEM Singapore. Hero won DH Winter.

CuSToM Profile Joined October 2010 United States 1408 Posts #19 what's the situation for 3rd in points? I'm guessing it depends on whether or not Ryung advances? Cause Hyun/Bogus can be royalroaders and I don't think Sniper has placed high enough in previous seasons to be that far up Team SCV Life #1

The compression was due to WCS. I will bet money that the drop to 4 GSL seasons is mostly to allow for WCS 2013. The compression was due to WCS. I will bet money that the drop to 4 GSL seasons is mostly to allow for WCS 2013.
