Don't get me wrong, having people such as Flash still winning StarLeagues is quite reassuring, but the SSL is going to offer a refreshing take on things, so I'm quite interested to see how this works out. This leaves a lot of room for upsets and unexpected results. I find that kinda ironic because this tournament initially was the exact opposite of what you're describing because it was solely invitational based and not merit based. I don't get how SSL is going to be really refreshing, its kinda makes it a farce if so many good players aren't playing. The only problem with Flash & the old guard keep winning is if there arent open qualifiers which are important to keep the scene healthy.

The previous speculated reasons seemed very political and it might have been justified but it would kinda suck if the competitive community decided to collect | ||

Just checked SC2 liquipedia to find their channel since SSL was organizing only SC2 tournaments and WTF happened to it? Design of liquipedia looks horrible. I don't know if it's something global change or not but hope they won't touch BW one. | ||

Sc2's liquipedia changed a few days ago, i think dota2 has this style for quite a while. I guess sooner or later every liquipedia will look like that | ||

Light hurt himself pretty fiercely and apparently needs surgery. He will forfeit his spot in the SSL. And apparently Larva has bladder cancer which will require treatment. Sucky news all around. | ||
