5th June, 7.30pm.
* If the winner of game 1 loses in game 2, the winner of game 2 will play game 3 against the loser of game 1.
* Tiebreaker ends when a player wins two consecutive games.
* After three games, if noone manages to win two consecutive games, the cycle repeats itself.
A little worried for Mini, Rush beat him on Ground Zero last time and if the maps don't change after the first round of tiebreaks, then he won't advance without beating Rush there. Given the number of Zergs in the Ro8, I sure hope he makes it out and shows some more PvZ, though.
Hmm... if Flash wins, he'll face Zero in the Ro8 right? So if Grape or Mini can win the tiebreaker, they'll face Shine in the Ro8, which is a favorable match-up for them. And if Soulkey wins, we will have a Fantasy vs Soulkey Ro8.
Edit: I'm assuming the winner of A plays the runner-up of group D, like the last 2 OSLs. Or have they released a different draw?

As if an SC2 showmatch was more important than qualifying the last OSL.
Damn you horangee for your cannon cancelling skills! We'd have 4/4 tiebreakers and Stork, now we have to do with ONLY 3 groups. Can we top the record from KAOSL1? Let's find out on Tuesday!/
Assuming the contestants actually care (Flash), I'd say Flash, mini, Hydra. But any result after a couple cycles will satisfy me (Ro8 with no TBLS has its allure as well).

Is it true that this is the last OSL then? Or are u saying this because BW is at a tough place right now?

It is the last BW OSL.
And the previous one was the last relevant BW OSL.
LoL I love flash but I think he will let Action pass, I think Flash is focusing on SC2 full time since he is coming to the next MLG. Here is my predictions:

This BW OSL is still relevant. All the players are practicing for both SC2 and BW. It's not an isolated incident.
Only true Flash fans could rationalize that the reason Flash lost is because he is focusing on SC2 more than you know.. the last OSL. Its only the longest running and most prestigious BW league, and Flash winning it would cement him as the only player to ever win 4 OSLs and a 7th title.
Naw he don't want that, he practicing A-move giantballs into other giantballs instead.

and Flash will let Action advance!
Players can't afford any kind of collaboration like that...because of the match-fixing scandal.
Flash, don't do this to me. You have to advance... Stop playing SC2 for a couple of days and focus on this!
Hope that Soulkey will make it as well. I want Ro8 to be as stacked as possible. I'm not sure who would be the best out of mini/Grape/Rush. I guess mini? I was really impressed with his PvZ...
Time for the legend of the tiebreaker to take hold.
Both Effort and I believe Jangbi too went on to win OSL Finals after making it out of tiebreakers. Your future OSL champion is in these tiebreakers if that's any indication.

Stay tuned?
(Speculations: Event match among BoxeR, YellOw, Reach / transition into SC2)
I wouldn't put it past KeSPA/OGN to put on something this idiotic.
how shitty would it be if they announced the Ro8 onward would be SC2?
We are in a time where things are really gloomy and dark there is no hope for us old guards . I have already seen the worst that could happen to our once happy broodwar scene . Nothing else is going to shock me.
