Code A seeds on the line in Esports Weekly Match

A new road has opened for Starcraft 2 players to attain GSL Code A.

Currently the Global Starcraft2 League (GSL) has a format with Code S, Code A, and the code B tournament. The Esports Weekly Match (EWM) will add on to this, starting February 5th.

The EWM is a weekly online tournament with 64 players. The winner each will advance into an offline tournament, and the winner of that will get the Code A seed. In 2012, the EWM is expected to provide 1 seed for every code A tournament.

The 64 players will be chosen on a first-come, first-serve basis. To qualify, a player must be above 500 rating in Masters league on the Korean server. However, players that are part of a team, domestic or foreign, are eligible to particpate regardless of rank and are given first priority to particpate.

The format is best of 3 for every round, and the map order is Daybreak, Dual Sight, and Antiga Shipyard.

The tournament will be broadcast overseas via TwitchTV, and will be cast by popular foreign casters John “TotalBiscuit” Bain and Shaun “Apollo” Clark.
