Live2Win so kindly explained the ins and outs of the 5th and 6th seed for the next OSL. I simply reiterated in the explanations.
I want to apologize for my foolishness. I didn't realize that the Korean text for the Shinhan Peaks of Baekdoo and New Pioneering Period didn't show up on computers that didn't support Korean text. I blindly thought that it would still appear until I went on my friend's laptop the other day and saw the map names as a bunch of question marks. I'm still going to keep the Korean cause it's visually pleasing to me =P, but I typed out the names in parentheses.
Sorry again, jkillashark

The spoiler codes are freaking awesome btw. Much thanks to whoever made it.

I think you forgot 815 III in the map pool, and I just noticed it.
Edit: Or not and I'm just stupid and can't see.

The Semifinal Match B between ChOJJa and JJu should be starting in about 11 hours. I've noticed a 6/9 Shinhan 2 Semifinal B thread hasn't been started yet so here's some info for someone who wants to start such a thread:
Semifinal Match B: A2 ChOJJa vs C2 JJu Game 1 @ 815 III Game 2 @ 산한 백두대간 (Shinhan Peaks of Baekdoo) Game 3 @ Rush Hour 3.0 -if necessary- Game 4 @ 新 개척시대 (New Pioneering Period) Game 5 @ 815 III
My vote goes out to the ZvZ master ChOJJa, although I do respect JJu's ZvZ strength, I think ChOJJa's is just too good.
The winding days of this tournament mean mucho points on liquibet. This game will be worth a whopping 4 points. Getting this right or wrong can make or break a liquibet season.

Yellow retiring without a single OSL win would be a disaster.

He couldn't do it numerous times when his skill was way better relative to the elite progamers of the time. Now there's just way too many players who can beat him either in bo1 or bo5 so he would need some sick luck if he were to go all the way.

I dont think it would be a travesty if Yellow retired and didnt get an OSL win. He just hasnt done it. He has certainly accomplished more than almost anyone else(Save 4-5 players) in his BW career.
Honestly I would have thought he would have dropped off the map altogether if he sucked. But his form is far from terrible lately and considering he stays with his old style it is quite a feat.
Thank god Chojja won vs Jju though, or this would have been the worst OSL final ever.

Boxer 1st 1st 1st (1st 1st if you count wcg) - 3 (5) 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd (2nd if you count KT-KTF) 4 (5) 3rd = 11
Yellow 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd (2nd 2nd if you count wcg) 3rd (shot at another 3rd place too) = 6 :o

But to be honest, everyone has shit chances of winning an OSL cept 1-2 people at a given era. Even then, it's not easy ~_~

I'm guessing he's not as exciting. I still think that Casy is a very exciting player and that Casy vs ChOJJa should be an interesting match. Casy's TvZ is still not very tested. He's played a few games but I have yet to see a good match for him against a top zerg player such a gnomey.
