Just speculating:
If next week Bisu > Shudder which is most likely, Iris > Light which is most likely, and Rock > Frozean which is likely on a P imba map, the Ro8 will look like this:
Up vs Jaedong Stork vs Savior
Flash vs Light Bisu vs Iris
The key to this OSL will be how Bisu plays against the terrans. After his games vs Hwasin the terrans shuld realize that they need to cheese to beat him. If Bisu makes it through Iris, Light/Flash, the OSL is his for a fact. Unless Stork beats Savior this time.

Sweet Sixteen
Isn't it the quarter final?

It looks like Stork screwed himself over by beating Jaedong, since he'll most likely face Savior in the RO8.
Getting eliminated by Savior twice in a BO3 in the same season = no thnx.

Getting eliminated by Savior twice in a BO3 in the same season = no thnx. good point, but he doesn't seem like the player who would drop a match for the sake of sneaking around danger players. kind of like midas, who also has a tendency to shoot himself in the foot.

Would be kind of similar to Hwasin getting eliminated by Bisu every season.

i just think starcraft is more vulnerable, because you can have a draw where an eliminated player can help a teammate (or friend) a lot by tossing a game. that can't really happen in most pro sports.
eliminated players should at least be playing for a dual league seed or something..

Well, there we have to go by trusting the players' sense of sportsmanship and professionalism.

So only Sea, Jaedong, and Stork have been confirmed for the quarterfinals so far? I thought there were more.

Sea's not even in the OSL RO16, and I don't think that MBC has infiltrated the OGN headquarters, so I'm going to have to say that Sea will not be in the quarterfinals.
Those who are qualified for sho' include: Upmagic as A1 Light A1 if he beats Iris, A2 if he loses to Iris Stork C1 Jaedong C2
That is all.

I think that's what davidgurt meant, but Sea = Sea[Shield], and not Sea.Up
