It's more popular, more prestigeous, and generally provides better games. The past 5 OSLs were better than the MSL's imo. | ||

Hell, the previous MSL (GOM S3) was better than the previous OSL (EVER). I mean, my god, i cannot think of a SINGLE intense/good quality game played in the entire OSL. Maybe some of the tiebreakers were good, but other than this.... every game just disappointed the shit out of me. The first sign for me was when Yarnc somehow lost to Frozean on demon's forest after both players played like crap. Savior vs Jaedong was decent... were there any other good games of note? | ||

Guys like Reach, Ra, Grrr, Kingdom, Garimto etc just aren't up to it anymore. Too much one sided rape in an OSL/MSL like that. | ||

Worst OSL I've seen so far, in terms of entertainment and game quality, but one of the most satisfying for my personal taste, because Flash seems promising. W/e, we'll just wait for next season I guess | ||

From the Interview thread: You went with a bunker rush after proxy barrcks on the 2nd match. What is the reason you did this? You were a game ahead? did you try it on a whim? If not did You make arrangements beforehand? I have made arrangements beforehand you have seen all strategy today. I expected Stork rise to the bait for my psychological warfare. So he naturally did it. (note: Before the finals, Flash said "I am going to beat you by 'anti-carrier build' strategy" this excited Stork. In opposition, Stork said "I already analyzed your strategy. I am going to break you") It was Stork's fault for thinking that Flash would announce his strategy beforehand, and not change it. | ||

I've never seen anyone improve as quickly as Flash had, before the GSI Flash was "one of the best" players around, easily top 10. After the GSI Flash was easily top 5, now Flash is top 3, and it's not just that your perceptions change, he's game play improves with every game. That said, OSL Finals were nice because Flash dominated, but the OSL game quality as a whole was fairly low. It was more exciting than EVER though for some reason... | ||

It was not all one sided. | ||
