Usually, when these players win the OSL, they have reached the highest (professional) goals they could ever dream of: winning the two most competitive tournaments that exist. You could clearly see that NaDa had lost his "invincibleness" right after Panasonic. He went from extremely determined/confident during Panasonic to sloppy/nervous during Olympus. He was playing significantly worse because of this. He had nothing left to win, only stuff to lose. Same happened to Oov, while Savior seems to still have "it" since his OSL loss... just a tad less, which makes all the difference. these are the reasons that none of these players will be truly great IMO, if they had more determination they could be much better (if one of them had that determination theyd easily be the GOAT BW player) GOATS in every sport/game dont get bored of winning, great players do. | ||

It's only StarLeagues broadcasted by OnGameNet so that would be: GARIMTO (Freechal) BoxeR (Hanbit) Nada (Panasonic 2002) July (Gillette 2004) Anytime (So1) sAviOr (ShinHan 3) and GiYom if you go by just OSL definition (Hanaro wasn't broadcasted by OGN but its successor tournaments [naver onwards] were OGN broadcasted; so it is an "OSL" but not from royal road context) Plus, whoever won the first OSL was going to be a royal roader no matter what, so it's a bit silly XP | ||

Is this because of the format of the tournament (group stage for OSL, and the other thing for MSL) ? | ||

Btw, it's also interesting to note that ALL BONJWAS WERE BORN ON NOVEMBER. :D NaDa: 1984-11-20 Oov: 1983-11-05 sAviOr: 1987-11-23 Bisu: 1989-11-03 For 4 persons to be born on the same month, it's a (1/12)^3 = 1/1728 = 0.06% chance of happening if I'm not mistaken. -_- | ||
