Just based on general gameplay and achievements, let's have a breakdown. And I want to be an eSport contributor on TL. So here is my first real article of eSports, it might suck. Post your opinions below please!
1) by.FlaSh (of KT Rolster)
![[image loading]](http://www.mymym.com/gfx/Flash_OSL.jpg)
Winner of last year's EVER OSL.
Runner up for last year's Nate MSL
Winner of 2008 XNote GomTV Star Invitational
Runner up of 2008 TG-Intel Classic Season 1
Holy crap lot of awards. There is definitely a high chance of FlaSh winning this year's OSL again. With a close 70% overall winrate, your money is still safe if you bet on him.
However this year, new compeitions may arise...
2) n.Die_Jaedong (of Hwasueng OZ)
![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/Plexa/Batoo_Final/jaedong.png)
Winner of last year's 2010 NATE MBCGame StarCraft League
Winner of WCG 2009 Chengdu Grand Final
Winner of last year's 2009 Bacchus 2009 OnGameNet Starleague
Winner of last year's 2009 Averatec-Intel Classic Special Match
Winner of last year's 2008–09 Batoo OnGameNet Starleague
Winner of 2008 WCG Korea Finals
Winner of 2008 TG-Intel Classic 2008 Season 1
Runner up of 2008 Arena MBCGame StarCraft League
Winner of 2008 GOMTV MBCGame StarCraft League Season 4
Winner of 2007 2007 EVER OnGameNet Starleague
Winner of 2007 2007 Seoul International e-Sports Festival
Runner up of 2007 2007 OnGameNet StarChallenge Season 1
With a heckload of awards (sorry made some cheesy term to avoid cussing on TL) and having a good record of always getting into the RO 4, if your a Jaedong fan there is no reason to be unconfident! With a win rate .1% lower then FlaSh's, who says the Tyrant doesn't have a chance to just destroy everyone in the OSL. 4-0ing Kal (in 2 seperate scenarios, but still 4 times in a row of Jaedong's games) is not an easy task to beat the 56% win rate zerg stomping protoss. As long as he doesn't make minor mistakes like the game VS. EffOrt, he should be fine! If FlaSh just somehow miraculously gets eliminated in another set, Jaedong has a this league in the bag.
3) Sea.Really (of estrO)
No awards yet? Well this year's might be his first. Catching up to fantasy's performance and from his results of the proleague, if Seiya puts in the extra effort, he has a chance. With incredible TvT as with TvZ, a lot of overconfident players might just crack under his pressure. And there is definitely no reason to take away his not-as-strong but still devastating TvP. Beating last year's OSL runnerup Movie and the famous Jangbi and Kal gives no reason to demote his TvP at any rate. Beating fantasy, Jangbi, firebathero, and ending FlaSh's 22 TvT winstreak is not an easy achievement.
4) Stork[gm] (of KHAN)
Runner up of last year's 2009 WCG Grand Finals
Runner up of last year's 2009 WCG Korea Finals
Winner of 2008 Incruit OnGameNet Starleague
Runner up of 2008 WCG Grand Finals
Runner up of 2008 WCG Korea Finals
Winner of 2008 Blizzard Worldwide Invitational
Runner up of 2008 XNote GOMTV Star Invitational
Runner up of 2008 Bacchus OnGameNet Starleague
Runner up of 2007 EVER OnGameNet Starleague
Winner of 2007 WCG Grand Finals
Runner up of 2007 WCG Korea Finals
Runner up of 2007 GOMTV MBCGame Starleague Season 2
Winner of 2004 CYON OnGameNet Challenge League
Put the highest bi*ch in the heels right here! Stork is known to beat top-tier players with his amazing game management and strategy. Will the silver bird finally win another gold instead of silver medal? Maybe so. He has his work cut out for him, Stork has to cut through the other top players to win this year's OSL.
5) Siz)Kal (of STX Soul)
Runner up of GomTV MSL Season 4
Sorry for STX and Hyun fans, but Kal doesn't have a high chance of winning the OSL. He might get into the RO 4 though. Personally I think Kal is an overlooked player due to his creative and advanced style, however he doesn't have what it takes to win the OSL this year. I do wish him most of luck!
6) Bisu[Shield] (of SKT)
![[image loading]](http://www.mymym.com/gfx/bisu-msl-win.jpg)
Winner of last year's 2009 WCG Korea Finals
Runner up of last year's 2009 Averatec-Intel Classic Special Match
Winner of last year's 2009 GOMTV Averatec-Intel Classic Season 2
Winner of 2008 ClubDay MBCGame Starleague
Runner up of 2007 GOMTV MBCGame StarLeague Season 3
Winner of 2007 GOMTV MBCGame StarLeague Season 2
Winner of 2006-2007 GOMTV MBCGame StarLeague Season 1
OH MY GOD ITS THE REVOLUTIONIST? If Bisu can get his act back up how it used to be, he CAN do it! He can and he might not, he is still one of the top Protoss players if not best. Most people are saying Protoss aren't doing good now, but then again I wonder how Movie got into last year's OSL Finals (thought hes a PvZ sniper... and all his RO 8 and 4 were Zerg players...) I mean Bisu's win rate is still 64%, meaning he still has what it takes to win an OSL.
7) by.Movie (of CJ Entus)
Runner up of last year's EVER OSL
This is all in his luck, if he can get another lineup of Zerg players as his opponents. Movie's one of the progaming scene's most deadly Zerg snipers since Nal_rA and Bisu. His PvT and PvP are not decimating but not be underestimated either, so if he can play it out correctly ~Just like a Movie~ (personally I'm not a korean and I don't get wtf that is supposed to mean, but since I've seen it on the signs of the OSL finals...) I mean he has some slack cut off considering he's seeded into the RO 16.
8)Nal_rA (of OGN Commentators)
[img]http://www.mymym.com/gfx/nal_ra_large.jpg[img]
Winner of 2004 HanGame OSL
Winner of 2003 Stout MSL
BALLER HERE! The dreamer may dream up anything to win an OSL! Considering he has map hacks while commentating and knows everything his opponent does, what makes you think he can't win?
List of further players that may win the OSL but I dont have great faith in. If I do get enough comments I will make a short paragraph on the player.
-ZerO
-Kwanro
-fantasy
-Leta
-Shine
-BeSt
-EffOrt
-Calm
-Hwasin

Flash won Ever 2009, not 09's bacchus. Jaedong won 09's Bacchus OSL over Yarnc.

Flash and JD are still massive favourites to take OSL. However, the RO16 is something of a crapshoot, so anything can happen.
|
Calling it now, Sea.Really (Seiya, whatever) is gonna own this OSL!!
|
|
|
Nal_rA. He has maphax, and two golds, two silvers and a bronze to his credit. He has to win. 
|
|
|
Lol, Bisu. Good luck to him.

I'm actually cheering for Bisu/Stork for this OSL haha
PROTOSS, THE RACE OF THE SKYYYYYYY
|
Efffooort, please
I would be fine with Jaedong and Zero too.
I think Flash is most likely.
|
jesus that picture of jaedong is epic!
hopeing for Stork!
probably Flash (which is still good! :D )
|
Honestly I think Flash is assured to win atleast one more league. He's so determined to be the #1 player and he's seeded into both, which will help him buffer his PL stats before he has to worry about leauges.
I'm hoping Flash OSL for golden mouse.
|
i want bisu//stork
but it will be jaedong//flash
|
Bisu/Stork/Fantasy will do it for me.
I love Jaedong (point to sign) but he's won enough XD!
|
Either Leta or effort deserves it.
|
Well...I'm cheering for Stork, obviously, but at this point I really don't have any way of making a prediction. Flash and Jaedong are obviously big contendors...but so are many others.
Go Stork!
|
bisu or fantasy will be my pick. or Nal_rA, ofc.
|
|
|
flash imo
^ Ryoo you copy my gag lol
|
Stork, obviously! Birdtoss got this Korean Air thing in the bag, man. Besides, he is a self-proclaimed Korean air fanboy. You will be sure as hell that the higher ups will rig this thingy magig toward Stork's favor in order to obtain the 2 page long massive pro-Korean air ranting from Stork's winner interview.
Otherwise, I hope Bisu wins. I want the Protoss to dominant again so badly.

Isn't really's tvp a lot stronger than his tvz?
I think Flash will probably win, but hoping Effort.
|
Flash
Leta or Really will get 2nd
|
Lol.
Anyways, Flash and Jaedong has won enough tours, its time for other players to  Shine.
|
I'm a big JD fan, but when you put every other decent zerg as one option, statistically, taht seems more likely.
|
This has to turn into another one of those "who has the biggest fanbase on TL" kinda polls. On topic, I think Stork will take out this one. A Stork v Flash final would be nothing short of incredible.
|
|
|
For some reason, something just makes me think this is Storks OSL.
If Movie/Effort doesn't win then I'm just hoping for a Flash vs Jaedong rematch, done the OSL way.
|
stork is ridiculously overrated
|
Call me a dreamer but I have a good feeling about stork this go around.
|
|
|
If KaL can manage to dodge zergs and Stork he might have a good chance.
My ideal finals here is Sea.Really versus KaL with Really winning 3-2 :D
I think Flash will win though.

I voted jaedong of course but I really would like bisu to take a OSL, that way we truely have three kings and not two gods and two amazing protoss players
|
Jaedong so we can finally call him Bonjwa.
|
Sea[shield] tyvm ^_^
edit: if he's still in, not really keeping up
|
Jaedong! Cuz of fanboyism of course. 
Although I think Flash will win just because he's an amazing player.

go Really or Jaedong, crash and burn stork.

Flash or Jaedong. Probably Flash. It's his time.

Flash, I think he has at least one more in him

Rooting for Bisu/Stork but I think it's gonna be Flash.
|
|
|
Honestly, I think Flash is the favorite against anyone in this OSL, even Jaedong and any dragons. I think I'll give him a 40% chance of taking it.
Golden mouse for Flash would be ideal, but I'm also rooting for Stork. Can't there be two winners?

why dont we just go all out and give everyone that made the starleague a medal too?

Flash, because it's at OGN and they have heaters and proper power cords.
JD at the next MSL though, that man is a mountain bunker, you can't even blow it up with a nuke he's such a killer

i'd go with flash here.
but due to the fact that there's kang min in the poll, i can't vote someone else.
|
|
|
voted for fantasy, somehow i have a feeling this time it's meant for him...
second and third choice jaedong and stork
I don't think flash will do well, because the schedule will get him tired. He's been in this situation all the time, maybe now he'll prove me wrong and manage a great performance
|
You forgot Flash's first OSL win at Bacchus 08 :p

He'll need someone else to knock out Flash and JD for him then. Stork is consistent but he's not consistently better than the best. He's just good.

I actually see Stork managing to take out Flash if he plays his best and is a bit lucky. But he wouldn't even touch Jaedong

i like stork's chances this time around. you guys are dumb if you don't think he's capable of beating jaedong or flash in a best of 5

Voted Bisu. He needs an OSL.

Capable isn't the same thing as likely.
Then again Stork has the cahones and execution to be the only Protoss that I think could beat Flash in a Bo5.

Anything can happen but I don't see him as the favourite. Those two are just so good.

The maps are pretty balanced, so could be either one of the top players from each race. I'm rooting for Jaedong though.

A month ago today you said that Kal was the best PvZ player in the world and was a match for JD. In the last month has Stork gotten considerably better than the best PvZ in the world or has JD gotten worse?
I mean I don't like to remind people of what they say but seeing as you're calling others dumb and idiots for predicting that JD will win a ZvP I feel it might be pertinent.

Stork for sure !
If he somehow gets eliminated then its either Jaedong or Flash

I really want Really to do incredibly well but I also want Flash to win. So I'm torn between the two.
I'll just be incredibly happy if Really and Fantasy get a decent way through the tournament. Same with Stork.
|
Bisu, I'm hoping for at least a ro8 appearance from him. Some sort of seed and I'll be happy.
For who I think will win, Flash. But I'm hoping Bisu or Stork

Would be awesome if an eSTRO player won a league.

Jaedong will win the OSL. Not only that, but he's going to win the MSL as well, in 2010, OK? Jaedong is too Jaedongood, and you know it.
(Stork gets second place in both leagues, obviously.)
|
as unlikely it will happen, im rooting for Sea!
i absolutely adore that guy ^^
|
Flash needs to win, and will win
|
rooting for sea.really, sea[shield], stork. But it probably will be flash or jaedong
|
|
|
Jaedong for the Platinum Mouse.

Smart money's on NonY who will be seeded after his TSL2 victory and following the unlikely but disabling injury of some non-JD Zerg player

I still think Flash is better then JD

With Jaedong, I don't know. Most people would eventually just decide to rest on their laurels after winning as much as he has. It's no longer a question of his talent --- it's a question of when he'll decide that enough is enough. Who knows.
But Flash? Anyone who thinks that Flash "had his time" has another thing coming to them. Last season's 2400+ Elo rating was just a hint of what's in store for him; the kid is still younger than Jaedong and Bisu were when they won their first titles, and he's sitting on two OSLs, a GSL, and a GSI....
Personally I think Flash and Jaedong are the obvious favorites to win this OSL. I think the likelihood of one of them winning it is a good 75%. I also think that Fantasy is really going to bring the heat this time around, and that he, Stork, and Bisu are the only ones who can defeat Flash and Jaedong once it gets to the Bo5 stage. (Actually no, Jaedong could lose a ZvZ Bo5 to Effort or Calm, but he'd still be the favorite.)
The last few OSLs have been won by... Flash, Jaedong, Jaedong, Stork, July, Flash, Jaedong. Keep it up, OSL :D

And is it wrong to want your favourite player to do well?

Things happen man. Ah I give up, defending myself makes me look even more stupid.
Flash and Jaedong probably won't get knocked out via cheese. We might actually see a rematch of FvJ in the finals, 3-2 going to Flash.

With incredible TvT as with TvZ, a lot of overconfident players might just crack under his pressure. And there is definitely no reason to take away his not-as-strong but still devastating TvP.
Are you sure? TvP is definitely Really's strongest match-up. Just look at the statistics (58% and 9/10 for the last 10) and watch his recent games. I don't mean to disparage your OP though, great starting point for OSL speculation.
On topic, I think Flash will win. He and Jaedong are just so far ahead of everyone else, and Flash has a competent team to support him in Proleague, while Jaedong does not. Plus I'm a fanboy.

Wouldn't it be nice to see Bisu knock out Jaedong in the semi and Stork knock out Flash? And then Bisu vs Stork finals would be sweet too. I hope they have this third place finisher so we can see Flash vs Jaedong battles together again. But I just want a Protoss to win a StarLeague.

I want Flash to get the Golden Mouse so much. If that doesn't happen, Stork or Jaedong would be sweet.

It would be epic enough if those 4 actually all got to the semi-final. At that point I wouldn't care who won, I'd just sit back and enjoy the ride. Nah, who am I kidding. GO BISUUUU!!!
Ultimate round of 8 will have fantasy, flash, jaedong, calm, bisu, stork, kal, and effort. Top 8 players based on elo still in OSL.

My realistic prediction: I think Bisu can take it this year
My... prediction: Flash <333

Sadly we know this is impossible. Instead of Bisu, who will get knocked out in the ro16 if not earlier, we will have Kwanro! Eww...

lol,
bisu, stork, flash, jaedong on semi-final will be the best outcome.
|
My realistic prediction:
KILLLLLLLLLLLERR
|
Flash!
Other major contenders are Jaedong, Stork.
Among the guys who can go far are obviously infamous Zergs like Effort, Calm, Zero. Hope for Terran is Really and maybe Fantasy. No hope for Protoss
|
I want Flash to win dual titles this time. If Flash doesn't win the OSL, I want Movie to win, but I'm rooting for Flash first.

Flash won Ever 2009, not 09's bacchus. Jaedong won 09's Bacchus OSL over Yarnc.
flash won the first bacchus of 08, which isnt listed, im guessing the OP didnt use TLPD?
|
You might as well cut that list in half because most of them have to chance at winning unless flash, stork, and jaedong all get sniped before Bo5 begins.
With that said JAEDONG FIGHTING !
|
Whoever it is, the final better be a duel between two players of epic level.
So that Korean Air will dish out an epic amount of cash and attract an epic level of live audience.
|
A PROTOSS BETTER WIN THIS SHIT.
|
Flash. Golden mouse incoming
|
Nal_rA fighting!
@whoever corrected me is obviousy korean or fails at english
Sorry my bad in part, unconfident is slang, but whatever you said doesn't sound formal
"There is no reason to be not confident" is the proper way
|
Stork will take it this years i'm pretty sure
|
did nal_ra come out of retirement or u just threw his name in

Seems that our resident Terrorist is back in form just in time to jack the national airline.
Stork got a good shot at this. He is one of few, and perhaps the only one left, who is truly capable of taking Flash down in a BO5.

I would say Jaedong/Stork don't think anyone else can take him out in a bo5 perhaps calm but even then I doubt it.

Probably already mentioned, but OP did not list Flash's Bacchus OSL Championship - plz edit

I sorta want Leta or BaBy to make it far.

I feel like someone newer is going to take the OSL this time.
So no Flash, Jaedong, Stork, Bisu, or even fantasy.
Bacchus had a lot of unexpected faces in the OSL RO8 including Calm, Shine, Pure, and Movie.
I am predicting that someone like that will win this time. Kinda like how Anytime won So1 against Boxer.

I like how you say not Fantasy or Flash, and then in your "newer" players, you have 2 players that debuted as progamers before them, and one that debuted only a few months after.

I think he means players that don't have a lot of achievements yet

Yeah, I mean new in the sense of "Hey I don't remember these people destroying faces left and right."
Kinda like how GGPlay had been around since 2004 but he didn't really accomplish all that much until he won the Daum OSL in 2007.
I'm expecting a winner along the lines of GGPlay, Anytime, or even Mind who beat both Savior and Bisu in GOM S3.

MICHES SO DARN CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crazy. Stork and Bisu are tied in votes but even crazier, Flash and Jaedong are DEAD even in votes at 257 each!?!

wow jaedong and bisu eliminated, who will stop FlaSh?
|
Pure v Kal finals!
calling it right now >_< Pure played awesome against major (whoever he is) and Kal is such a freakin ninja that i can feel it in my tiny ginger bonesssss
|
Personally, I think it might be Calm's year. It's just a feeling I've got, but I don't think Flash or Jaedong will win a starleague this time around...
|
everyone that doesn't want nal_ra to win is a heartless monster

I hope flash doesn't accidentally not build turrets, not micro, or try too many 14CCs. Seems like those are the only ways he can lose...
|
"just like a movie" is suppose to mean that his games have cinema-esk experience. Him being disadvantageous in beginning like a hollywood movie but winning in the end with Final push.
|
|
|
Jaedong, Bisu, and Really are out of the picture. I think it's either Movie or Flash.
|
Surprised a Khan fan didn't say Stork.
|
Unless somebody else step it up, there is no way that Flash can lose in a BOX other than to Stork.
Stork got a lot on his shoulders now. I hope OSL doesn't bracket screw it and have them fight each on in Round of 8 or something...
|
lol boo stork!
FlaSH gogogogogo new jaedong 1a2a3a 3 more OSL wins pl0x gogogogogogo
s-t-a-r-t
|
Flash is too obvious of a pick, its just not fair to play against him. Though I hope Really or Beesuit wins this year. WHERED DID THE REVOLUTIONIST GO? D:
|
|
|
Stork no shit. Jaedong is already out and away.

Kal vs  Really final.Really to win.

Nal_rA win this OSL easy. He will 3-0 everyone else and rape his way to the OSL gold.
Final will be nal_rA vs flash. Nal_ra cannon rush game 1, proxy DT game 2, standard play crush flash game 3. gg no re
Dreamer hwaiting!!!

I think the question is who will get the silver. Gold is already settled.
