Could anybody who was around when the system was first introduced to BW confirm the origin?
It's an auto racing thing in general, not just categories of a certain type of car. It has the same meaning. Not quite. Does not translate well to SC2 terms. This can be seen in his matchup with Classic, where he was initially defeated and then made a comeback, steamrolling both Koreans in his bracket. Young players always have an advantage of a more fast and flexible mind, and this is very important when you have to play against people who constantly strive to improve, not just win.
It is always very entertaining to watch Koreans play versus foreigners. Scarlett regularly plays with Koreans and her specific playstyle makes it exciting to watch. Our current trio is not as innovative, but all three will undoubtedly show great games.
Almost half of them have made it into the RO16 already, and this makes it even more likely for at least one foreigner to make it into the Playoffs. Since all three play different races, this tournament will also be a great showcase of all matchups. Currently, StarCraft II is in a good shape balance-wise and the race distribution is roughly equal in this tournament.
It will not necessarily be indicative of any balance issues since the Korean scene is vastly different from everything else, but it will still be a good way to spot potential issues. It features eight Koreans and eight foreigners and will take place in early August. Neeb and SpeCial will also participate in it, so if luck abandons them in Code S, they will have another chance.

Jjakji has had a reemergence as one of the top Terrans since the new patch dropped in November, qualifying for IEM Gyeonngi in dominating fashion and being ranked near the top of the Korean ladder. That being said, Dear will be greatly missed, as he was one of the most consistent Protosses of His results skyrocketed and made him easily one of the most fearsome players in the world, topping off a strong year with a Homestory Cup victory.
Patience lost to DuSt Gaming's "still up-and-coming for three years" Terran both in the round of 4 and decider match, getting a disappointing third place in his group. Ki Woong "Hurricane" Nam -- Hurricane has been a highly respected Protoss among the professional scene for many years. That being said, he's basically the Protoss equivalent of Won Pyo "Curious" Lee, before the Zerg's more recent breakout performances. Hurricane seems to make it into the GSL Code S just about every season but never really has had an impressive run once he's there.
Well, this season we won't be seeing any of Hurricane. He lost twice to the rookie Wook "NightMare" Jang. Hush's road to defeat wasn't really an upset, but he will be missed. With strong performances in individual leagues and Proleague, Trust really started to break out of his former teammate Sung Wook "Zest" Joo's shadow. Trust lost in both the round of 4 and the decider match to one of last year's exciting new prospects that never came to fruition -- Won Ju "DRGLing" Lee.
Joon Hyuk "Impact" Kim -- Although it's not an upset losing twice to Jin Air's two-time world champion Yoo Jin "sOs" Kim, Impact is definitely a Code S-quality Zerg, so it's a bit sad that we won't be seeing this top-ladder player compete this season.
The Terran race fared a bit better than Protoss, with only one top competitor being upset during the bracket phase: Jong Hyuk "Dream" Cho. The longtime top Terran has been a bit disappointing as of late, with very few high finishes in , so perhaps this shouldn't be too surprising. Zerg had a few big names fall short of their goals this season. Since HyuN's retirement has been on the horizon for quite some time now, perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised by this defeat.
While this list of great players who didn't make it into GSL's Code S can be disappointing at first glance, there is no need to fret. The makeup of the year's first Korean tournament, as well as the current state of StarCraft II, make this one of the most exciting seasons we've ever had. Formerly known as Lure, Billowy has been around since the beginning of StarCraft.
Occasionally, he will be in Code S, but he never really makes a great showing. Looking at his stacked group of sOs, Curious and Yoon Su "soO" Eo, it feels nearly impossible for Billowy to make any real impact on this tournament. Now, if Billowy were able to make it out of this group, then maybe he has reached a new level, but I wouldn't expect much from him this season.
Another player for whom the bracket looks hopeless is DRGLing. Easily one of the most exciting rookies of early , he has been very quiet, and there's nothing that suggests that he can stand up to his difficult group. If DRGLing gets out of this group, then we suddenly will have to reconsider who the best Zergs in the world are.
