No, not the Greek god of wine.
This one. + Show Spoiler +
Yes, this Starleague will be sponsored by an energy drink.
So while you all sit there and make your CJ faces, like I did for a good 10 minutes, let me go over the basic information you all already know.
OSL Group Selection: Jan 11th, 2008 (6:30PM) Terran(4)= FrOzean, Flash, XellOs, Sea Zerg(6)= Jaedong, July, Rumble, Luxury, YellOw[ArnC], sAviOr Protoss(6)= Stork, Bisu, Much, BackHo, BeSt, Rock
Maps: There's some good news in this area. Due to MASSIVE balance issues, Persona is thrown out the window, along with fantasy II which also brought some positional balance issues (like that's a big surprise). Currently the only announced maps are Blue Storm and Katrina. The 2 other maps will be brand new maps from OGN. Let's pray we don't see permanent psionic storms or something.
Points to watch for: - Only 4 terrans, least amount of terrans to ever qualify. - 3 protoss seeds, most for the resurrected race in history. - XellOs's comeback to the main stage - July's goldenmouse attempt - Savior's slump, ending? - Stork, the YellOw of Protoss? - Luxury and YellOw[ArnC], the first ever star-leaguer, dual-leaguer twins/brothers.
For a better understanding of why this sponsor is such a joke, here's HonestTea's description of the drink's "reputation" in the Korean community.

Let me explain:
To call Baccus an "energy drink" is to call Taco Bell "food." As in, it's a low-grade product that gets the job done.
Baccus is Red Bull on crack. That little bottle is like 45% caffeine, 45% taurine and 10% sugar. It's what college kids drink before all-nighters, and what over-worked salary men drink before another night of staying at the office until dawn.
Baccus is a mystical potion that grants extraordinary abilites at the cost of wierd side effects.
Basically, it turns you into a beserker for 60 minutes, afterwards you become a zombie for 120 minutes.
So no, it's not exactly a positive association.

Bacchus OSL sounds pretty cool actually I can't wait to see the new OGN maps.

omg someone update the title please. My retarded ass put 2007 instead of 2008
|
I'm glad they seem to have found a sponsor without so much trouble this time around. Is an energy drink really an inappropriate sponsorship candidate for the OSL? It seems fine to me.
|
I want to see a map with permanent plaguuuus, and one with permanent nukular explosions.
|
Fantastic line-up for the osl. Go Savior and Twins! Go zergs in general.
btw, how does bacchus taste?
|
woah cool i was just drinkin one of those yesterday and wow so awesome how little terrans there are. ya yuck
|
oh god finally new maps, I can't wait! Looking at the players this could very well become a very nice OSL.
YarnC v Lux final please.

I guess since you guys aren't use to it, it isn't that bad. For the Korean thread on FiFo there was laughter all around it.

Care to explain their mirth? 
I don't like this oSL lineup.
FrOzean - who the fuck cares GTFO Flash - KTF's prodigal child Sea - l'enfant terrible, I don't want him to win the whole thing, but I expect interesting games from him. XellOs - if Seo Jihoon refrains from DDR, he wins OGN. Please, no DDR.
Jaedong - I love you but you don't deserve two OSLs so quickly July - Fatzerg for golden mouse? MAYBE Rumble - LOL. w/e who cares. Yarnc - GTFO fucking poseur Luxury - royal road? nah. So... welll... yeah. Just make interesting games and lose in the... quarters. maybe semis. sAviOr - You'd make a good finalist. I don't want you to win though.
Stork - lawl plz die Bisu - no OSL for you. I want to see Bisu/sAviOr, nevertheless. Much - to semis. You aren't interesting/charismatic enough to be a finalist; I don't want DAUM again. Backho - you look like one of my friends but uh. no. GTFO as well. BeSt - new hope of T1~ You are ugly though. so GTFO. Rock - The FUTURE of PROTOSS is here! TheRock for Bacchus OSL 2008!

Permanent Psi Storms?
That would be so much lulz.

i want to see Rock pull out a Bacchus energy drink after a win, but inside the bottle it's not an energy drink at all, but rather the blood of his enemies

Semi finals:
July > Bisu Xellos > Jaedong
July vs Xellos in the finals :-)

terran out numbered for first time out of x number of leagues?
