GomTV has released the brackets for the upcoming GSTL May. The team league that puts the top eight pro-teams in Korea will launch shortly after the individual tournament concludes.
As you probably know, the team ranking is based on the amount of Code S and Code A players that each team possesses. This led to the arrival of a fresh newcomer to the league: the recently created team MVP has pushed aside the two-times finalist Incredible Miracle. Below you can see what the current team standings (with 1.6 points for each Code S player and 1 point for the Code A players) are and also the Ro8 pairings for the upcoming tournament.
Team Standings | |||
Team | Code S | Code A | Points |
1. Old Generations [oGs] | 8 | 1 | 13.8 |
2. Team SCV Life [TSL] | 5 | 2 | 10 |
3. Prime | 5 | 1 | 9 |
4. StarTale [ST] | 3 | 4 | 8.8 |
5. SlayerS | 1 | 7 | 8.6 |

According to the GSTL tradition, a new map will be added to the map pool for the new season. The two-player battlefield is called Belshir Beach and it features a nice, bright and sandy landscape and a middle area with both open spaces and strategically position choke points. The expansion pattern is pretty straightforward with an option of a gold base that is closer to the opponent's side.
Feel free to discuss the new map as well as the tournament brackets in the comments below.
