This wouldnt be fair. Anybody except Aqua gets a second chance? If so they should change Aquas game to a bo5, giving Aqua a 1-0 lead (you could also call it a bo4 with Aqua only requiring a draw).
Edit: Even better solution: Let Aqua participate in the Wild Card Tournament! If he doesn't win, he will play the winner 2 days later for the last MSL-spot. Otherwise he can demonstrate his superior skills on November 23rd against some random noobs from the audience.

This is how Wild Card will work.
The 7 players who lose in the Round 2 Finals match, (yes, this means NaDa and YellOw[ArnC], etc) will all play in a Tournament style bo1 single elim match. Out of the 7, the person with the highest KeSPA rank, (either NaDa or ChoJJa, depends on tomarrow's match) will get a bye on the first round.
The winner of the mini-tourney will play 2 sets of bo3's with Ever)Z(aQua. However, because aQua does not get a second chance like the others, he will have a 1-0 lead in the sets, meaning he only needs to win 1 bo3 while his opponent needs to win 2.

A league without NaDa doesnt feel the same

Couldn't they just have come up with something complicated instead?

It's already happening. NaDa is about to go back into slump mode. Let's see if it happens before OSL finals or after.

It looks like its similar to the finals from a double elimination tournament. Aqua being from the winners bracket with a 'life' and the winner of the mini from the Loser's bracket.

They've released the draw for the wild card tourney next tuesday:
Ro8: YellOw[Arnc] vs Kingdom NaDa vs MinGu GooDFriend vs DaezanG
Semis: ChoJJa vs YellOw[Arnc]/Kingdom NaDa/MinGu vs GooDFriend/DaezanG
All games best of 1.
The Winner will play Aqua for the last spot in the next MSL next thursday. Aqua gets a 1-0 lead, because he won't have a second chance. But will it really be a bo3? I think bo5 would be more fair.

Chojja is already in semis because he's highest in KeSpa?

The wildcard will consists of:
NaDa YellOw[ArnC] ChOJJa DaezanG Kingdom GoodFrienD Mingu
ChOJJa is the highest ranked KeSPA of the 7 and he gets the first round bye.

The November 2006 Ranking says this:
1. Savior (Z, CJ) 1202.0 ▲1 2. Chojja (Z, KTF) 1141.0 ▼1 3. Nada (T, Pantech) 1109.3 ▲3
So shouldn't Chojja get the bye?

Oops my bad. I forgot that ChOJJa's still 2nd even though he's been slumping like crazy.

Ro8: YellOw[Arnc] vs Kingdom NaDa vs MinGu GooDFriend vs DaezanG
Semis: ChoJJa vs YellOw[Arnc]/Kingdom NaDa/MinGu vs GooDFriend/DaezanG
By this, ChOJJa has the bye. You see he has no game in r08, the others all do.
