Unless you're residing in Korea don't expect to play. I mean why would you want to qualify for something you couldn't play in anyway? have to start somewhere. sure but online quali can play. i play better recognition Anyway who knows may make an exception. I see a lot of people want to help. Anyway, I was just curious im working all day except sunday so cant play. thanks for helping (nothing). Sziky, don't even try because at 1st round of 128 player you will get your foreigner ass raped and instantly eliminated. Even American Korean Scan admits his noobness, and pussies to enter and instead chooses to cast, so why the heck you wanna try? Playing at fish doesn't make you that smart. Have you ever won participated any Korean tournament? Only Defiler? Ah, c'mon... Don't understand you guys, why are you cheering him for nothing... I will get banned for truth, huh? User was banned for this post.
Sigh. Dork.

anyone know when ssl11 starts?
ssl10 started pretty soon after the ssl10 preliminaries
so its weird this time its taking longer
I doubt they can't determine which maps they gonna use. Their crew(company), especially Sonic wanted to try some new stuff but however as one korean mapper (who is author of Demian) stated that OGN didn't like to use new maps as far as he knows. And that new map "All Or Nothing" which was included in preliminary got so many issues. IMHO it is really imba and double gas at main favors Zerg, plus weird mineral and gas counts. You can check it out yourself by downloading it in TLPD and see the strangeness. Maybe now they're testing it and want to use modified version. However, you need at least 3 more maps to select. I think maps which were used in KSL - "Avalon" and especially "Demian" - are pretty safe choices, because they're at least used in league.

I disagree with All or Nothing being Zerg favored. At least on PvZ, Protoss had the advantage because of the gas for HTs and goons.
Yeah, more Avalon OGN pls.

Just speculation at this point, but it's quite possible something SSL11-related is happening today -- most of the Afreeca streamers are offline, apparently for a shoot/filming in Yongsan, Seoul, i.e. also the site of the  OGN studio/stadium. Some tournament planning and promotional video/pictures, perhaps?
List of names posted in the top post:
 Bisu
 Larva
 Sea
EffOrt
Minam
Sea.KH
by.hero
Mong
Jaehoon
Tyson
Mind
sSak
Last
HiyA
ZerO
Then more progamers named in the thread:
Shuttle, Movie, Zeus, Iris, Sharp, free, GuemChi, PianO
Pure speculation on my part -- Out of all these names, only Minam competed in the online preliminary (he came in second), so perhaps it makes sense if they knew they had been assured a spot...

Somewhat related news, courtesy of lemmata , from a recent Sonic interview with OSEN/Naver:
There were rumors of SSL prize money not being distributed to the players, but the truth was that everyone got their money. The problems had to do with the players income tax being applied to the players at a much higher rate than it should have been because SonicTV didn't take advantage of all tax deductions. This apparently has been corrected since the last SSL.

if its anything like last season then Ro32 onwards will be offline with Ro32 played in the Sonic studio and Ro16 through Semis at the Old OGN studio(with full TV broadcast by OGN) and the finals at a big venue.

Sonic has stated that SSL11 is not far away multiple times in the past week on his facebook / afreeca channel. His last message:
We will make an announcement with the press soon.
It's really almost here, get ready to be overjoyed.
Compared to SSL10, the invited lineup with be so much better, so get ready!
I'm actively supporting / helping it to be absolutely amazing.
Everyone Hwaiting!

Recap of HiyA's VOD from jinyung2 and GeLaar
HiyA says he just came back from profile filming (guessing it's for intro videos and stuff), then some players went to go eat/drink while HiyA came home to stream.
The names below are people he personally met at the shoot, and does not include all the participants. He was in the 10:00 time slot and others were at 12:30 and other time slots. After SBENU SL ends, HungryApp league will start right after.
He also responds to a question from the chat with: "As far as I know, NaDa won't be playing."
Someone asked about Hwasin and Hiya said that unless Sonic goes insane, he will never invite Hwasin.
HiyA, Sea, Mind, sSak,Last, Iris
Zeus, free, Shuttle, Pure, LuCifer, Bisu, Noble, Jaehoon, Movie, Tyson, Lazy, GuemChi
EffOrt, Killer, hero, Larva, ZerO, Child(??)

I'm surprised Sonic/SBENU's market/PR department has been so inept. I would have thought they would be building the anticipation for weeks leading up to the competition -- free press and brand advertising... Enable some word of mouth and momentum, but instead, it looks like they'll announce it at the start of play.
I think the same thing happened during the recent SC2 events... nary a word until competition commences.
