Prize Pool

Code S

The total prize pool was ₩144 900 000 (Approximately $134 000 USD), divided among participants as follows:

Trivia

• This GSL marked the first GSL in which the GSL-MLG Exchange Program took full effect (1 Code S, 3 Code A players seeded from MLG).

• As such, this GSL also marked the GSL with the most non-Korean players, with 6 total, 5 being in Code A. Unfortunately, none of the 5 in Code A could make it past the Round of 32.

• 50% of the players of this GSL were Terran as there were 32 of them in the 64 players of both Code A and Code S.
• This was the first GSL where there was a tie in the Up and Down Matches. This was followed by another tie in the first round of playoffs before an outcome was decided.
• Capital ship watch: Games where these units were a major factor in the outcome:

Unit	W	L
Battlecruiser	None	None
Brood Lord	None	None
Carrier	None	None
Mothership	None	None
