Since the players from this round of eight automatically get seeded in the next MSL, how will that work for Stork? If Oversky were to theoretically be ready to join MSL again by the time the next one rolls around would he get the spot (I'm positive he won't be ready, but just run with me on this for a moment)? I mean, Stork did lose in the round of sixteen, but I am guesing since he won the wildcard playoff he will get a seed into the next MSL, right?

I just read through this whole opening post again, and it just totally refreshed me on the system and how far along we are. Invaluable stuff for those of us who can't watch many live games.

He likes to use the lame way of Romanizing hangul (Yi instead of Lee, wtf?)

Technically it should be I Yun-yeol, but I by itself looks a little off. My friend's last name is 이 in Korean and she spells it Yi.

...and it's hangeul not hangul.

* The modern name Hangul (한글) is a term coined by Ju Sigyeong in 1912 that simultaneously means "great(한) script(글)" in archaic Korean and "Korean script" in modern Korean. It is never written in Hanja, though the first syllable, han (한), if used in the sense of the word "Korean", may be written 韓. 한글 is pronounced /hangɯl/ and would be romanized in one of the following ways:
o Hangeul or Han-geul in the Revised Romanization of Korean, which the South Korean government uses in all English publications and encourages for all purposes. Many recent publications have adopted this spelling.
o Han'gŭl in the older McCune-Reischauer system. When used as an English word, it is rendered without the diacritics: Hangul, or sometimes without capitalization: hangul. This is how it appears in many English dictionaries.
o Hankul in Yale Romanization, another common system in English dictionaries.
* North Koreans prefer to call it Chosŏn'gŭl (조선글), for reasons related to the different names of Korea.
* The original name was Hunmin Jeong-eum (훈민정음; 訓民正音; see history). Due to objections to the names Hangeul, Chosŏn'gŭl, and Urigeul (see below) by the Korean minority in Manchuria, the otherwise uncommon short form Jeongeum may be used as a neutral name in some international contexts.

Thanks Carnac! If you guys don't want to be old school, follow the romanization rules that I use and we'll be aite.

Eg.

iloveoov - Choe Yeon-seong
Please don't spell it Choi Yeon-sung. First of all yeon and sung have the same vowel and therefore spelling the vowel as eo and u shows inconsistency. The consonant vowel ㅚ (in iloveoov's last name) should not be spelled oi cause it can be misinterpreted as 오이 instead of 외. Therefore the new Korean rules have dictated that that consonant vowel be spelled oe.

The only wrong romanization I do is people is for people who have the last name 이. The Korean governement says it should be spelled "I" instead of Lee or even the one I use Yi. But I is very ugly and Lee is just a recipe for mispronunciation. Therefore I have used Yi cause it is the most similar to the spelling and is more aesthetically pleasing.

If you guys would like help in the romanization process, I'm pretty anal about how things are spelled so I will teach you guys.

actually his name is 최연성... so obviously ㅕ and ㅓ are different vowels. therefore Yeon-Sung would be an acceptable way to romanize it. oh, and all the korean-americans that i know that have the last name 최 all spell it Choi (including my mom's maiden name) so... meh.
