2012 Global StarCraft II League Season 5: Up and Down Matches

From Liquipedia StarCraft 2 Wiki

The GSL Season 5 Up and Down matches are preliminary matches in a GSL season where players who did not get eliminated previous season's Code A decide their status for this season. The format being a group stage with large groups allows GOMTV to inject players to the GSL through these matches and allows the seeded players to compete for their status as a Code S player.

*MMA, Ryung, and Genius are still part of SlayerS at the time their Up & Down matches are played, as the team disbanded in November.

Format[edit]

  • 12 Code Round of 24 Winners automatically advance to Code without going through the Up & Down Matches.
  • 16 Code Round of 32 Losers + 12 Code Round of 24 Losers = 28 players.
  • Players are divided into 5 groups of 6 or 5 players.
  • Each group's 1st and 2nd Place advance to Code .
  • Tie breaker: If player A and player B have the same number of wins, but A has won over B in a previous game then A will be the winner. If a tie still exists, a rematch will be played.
