does winning an osl as an amateur will give you a pro permit?
(dont start complaining on how a guy winning an osl would have got his permit by than - just trying to steer the soup)
hypothetically lol suppose a god that started playing starcraft or just a very talented kid at the age of 14 or 12 what ever the min age was

While it probably wouldn't give a progaming license, each time has a certain number of licenses that they can give out to players each year. So in order to get a progaming license, you either have to win Courage or be recruited by a team and gifted the license. I'd imagine a promising new player making it deep into the OSL would be picked up by a team and gifted a license pretty quickly.

Bumping in hopes that someone might have some information on what's going on with this. When are they going to finally start the OSL proper? I'm all for the My Starleague idea but it's annoying that it seems to be delaying the OSL by months...

the perlims are over as of yesterday(Seoul).

the highlights of yesterday's prelims will be on ~~Friday~~(sorry the Kyoungin prelims highlights will be on Friday) Sunday.

I'm going to assume that they will announce OSL prelims sometime this weekend to next week.

What about Courage tournaments - have they stopped doing those?

They were held in Seoul and Daegu in February, at least, but I guess they are less frequent than they used to be? (I could be completely wrong.)

VODs were interesting (though I understand no Korean whatsoever).

There was a ZvP that was clearly over where the zerg player made a lurker egg heart. The commentators all almost fell out of their chairs.
