Wow...the protosses and zergs are really star-studded lineups.

I usually just root protoss all the time, but my 3 fav zergs (Chojja first, GoRush and Yellow) are in, too.

Should be fun!

When are group pickings scheduled?

Yes. They really need to get rid of Cultivation Period at least.

It's good to see Yellow and Ra back in OSL.

Lol, so boxer makes it into the finals of the OSL filled with the least zergs ever, then he gets stuck in a group without zergs when trying to qualify for the OSL with the most zergs in a year ;D?!

EDIT: Fine, there was 1 zerg ;p

Hmmm... now that I think about it, there's only one really oustanding Terran in this next OSL. That's oov. We all know how good Midas TvZ is (which is soso). I didn't see much of Casy's TvZ in Shinhan. I'm not sure how strong a showing Terran will give.

What about the Protoss? They suffer enough with a few Zerg and some Zerg imba maps (Cultivation Period cough cough Age of Expansion). Luckily, our beloved shining star, Kang Min (Nal_rA), has a wonderful PvZ. Last I checked he 2-0ed teammate Hong Jinho at BWWI.

Now the Zerg, have a VERY strong group. They have four VERY seasoned veterans: GoRush, Yellow, and of course JulyZerg. Makes me worry for those tosses. I remember that XellOs_Pluto JulyZerg highlight. That dramatic beginning: Only two Zergs to qualify through Dual Round Play, last ticket to Gillette Starleague through SlayerS_`BoxeR`. Freaking 5 qualifed this year and 1 seed.

Which leads to three important questions:
How will Terran handle the plethora of Zergs? With such seasoned Zergs, will they be able to take advantage of the most Zergs in a starleauge for a long time?

Will the Zerg finally dominate a starleague like no other? They have so many strong players and numbers that I'm pretty sure it makes many non-Zerg progamers shift in their seats.

What happens to Protoss now that there are so many Zerg? The Zerg not only have very well tested veterans, they have an imba(lanaced) map in their aresenal. Will the two neo-tosses (Stork and PuSan) be able to show their new flair for their race?

He is going to miss this next OSL. However, he got 3rd in his ODL R2 Group and is sent to ODT R1 for the OSL after this next one. Confusing, eh? Manifesto's gem on how ODT works should help you understand.

I'm sorry, his TvZ is soso. I dunno, Zergman plays a very nice Zerg. I was really shocked when Midas lost to that guy in tiebreaks. But yes, he did beat in the 2nd tiebreak.
