Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. And they probably need to get accustomed to time zones and so on.
There's interviews with the players on TL, where Jinro mentions that he feels pretty ill and exhausted from traveling.

But yeah, give it time, and these guys will make Code S no problemo : )

Getting to Code S is no easy feat. As each season concludes Code S and A seems harder and harder. But if they put in the time and effort they can make it. But probably not if they just stay there one season then leave. Even qualifying for Code A can be difficult. Reminds me though....who has the Code A spots from the recent MLG???

I thought the MLG-GSL deal had Code A spots as well. We'll find out I guess.

Well seems like GomTV got hacked.

Careless of them to put passwords as plain text. But really I'm of the opinion if anyone really wants to hack a site they can do it even with the best commercial security on the market now.

Overall I'm not really bothered. Few months ago I already moved my email off my personal one and made an easy password that I don't use anywhere else. Part of my old not really much bothered with attempt to get SCL members to use my account as a way to sample what Gom has to offer.

Surprisingly no one talking about this...

YellOw trying his hand at SC2. Succeed or fail it does bring a bit more attention to SC2 in Korea. Not sure if everyone can watch it. It was entertaining.

Finally updated. Bracket for Code S looks so scary on HuK's side.

Well seems like they're learning lately that if their finals disappoint....just put on another match that won't disappoint. Previously it was a small LG side tournament. Now in celebration of its one year anniversary with SC2...."GSL All-Star Match". 10 players with the most votes participate in a 4 hour match of some format. Not sure what it'll be like. Hopefully entertaining.

The voting page is here under "Event 02". The names in red are the current top 10 voted players.

Wow, really nice. I like that they have included Foreign players, and of course, people have voted for them!

So far, it looks that those players are really good, looking forward to it! I am just a bit sad that they have picked July over LosirA, I mean, I know it is people's vote but still. And I think they should include at least one more Protoss player, like Puzzle or if Genius got the Votes... but oh well.

Can't wait, this tournament will be of an epic proportions, and hope to see NesTea vs. MC!

Well considering no matter how much hype surrounds a new up and coming Protoss.....they still just randomly get knocked out. MC does as well but he has a bit more consistency.

The All-Star event before the finals has been decided. Seems like 5 best of 1 showmatches. Info:

Some players can't participate due to various reasons. Sad to say this but Jinro vs FruitDealer is the least appealing to me. They've both been dropping off slowly.

EDIT: Also saddens me to see only two Protosses. That as well as (GSL spoiler alert):
