July up and down matches complete, as well as MLG Anaheim Code S seed determined, the groups and schedule have been set!

GSL Code S groups have been set and we will see some crazy games as early as group play! There are 32 players competing, and only one non-korean, and an extremely large amount of Terrans. Out of the 32 players, 8 are Protoss, 17 Terrans, and 7 Zergs. The games will be casted by everyones favorite Archon - Nick "Tasteless" Plott and Dan "Artosis" Stemkoski.

Seong Won 'MMA' Mun earned his Code S seed from MLG Anaheim, and is put into Group A, with the three time champion

Jae-Duck 'NesTea' Lim.

Group B is certainly a crazy group consisting of so many top tournament winners,

Doh-Joon 'Noblesse' Chae cannot be comfortable being pooled with

Min Chul 'MC' Jang,

Jong-Hyun 'Mvp' Jung and

Seong Hun 'Polt' Choi.

There is so much talent in these groups there is no telling who will win, will it be another victory for NesTea? MVP? MC?

Format and Prizes!
Rounds 32 to the Round of 8 are Best of 3
Semi Finals are Best of 5
Final Match is a Best of 7

The bottom 8 placing players will lose their Code S status and have to enter the up and down matches where they can potentially reclaim it.
