yeah so format is in each group, using group A as an example:
Pure vs Hyuk play a Bo3
winner of that will play Sea in a Bo3
only the final winner advances.
|
Iris vs Pusan
Winner vs bisu
lol that could be savior
Iris vs savior
Bisu vs Savior

Plasma & Return of the King?
Sounds interesting
Edit: Question: With the new maps, does this mean that they were sent to the proteams much earlier so they could start practicing? If so, IdrA, where are our leaks!?!
|
I wanna see the new maps!!!!!!
|
Plasma is a pimp sounding name

Return of the King must be a reference to Boxer !!! =))) Well I guess not really, but next starleague after he's out of the army though.. :D
Can't wait for the maps to be shown

brutal, i can't have sea and pure in the same OSL
whatever, Sea fighting!
other things i think will happen:
group B: kal > effort, kal > flash (call me crazy)
group C: forgg > shark, forgg > much (not sure about this one. forgg will decimate much if he gets past shark, but i just don't know. shark is pretty fuckin' wild sometimes)
group D: hwasin is gonna take this without incident
group E: sangho > jojoba (??? sure), mind > sangho (or jojoba??? sure. whatever, mind's gonna walk these chumps)
group F: IRIS > PUSAN, IRIS > BISU. IRIS IS GOING TO MAKE OSL.
group G: Light > Violet, jangbi > light
group H: justin > han (prove me wrong little han~), rock > justin (can you honestly believe one of these two players will make OSL AGAIN)
group I: I don't know what's up with dongrae, he somehow made it through both offlines. tester is bad, dongrae is bad, either of them will become bird food when they hit stork.
group J: go.go > bestgod (lol bestgod), i HOPE ggplay > go.go but its up in the air, very close
Group K: FANTASY > SOO, FANTASY > NADA. FANTASY WILL MAKE OSL. I fucking love nada but I want to see what fantasy can do in the round of 16, and his TvT is pretty fuckin' outstanding.
group L: Midas is gonna work these two half-wits with style and grace
|
As long as it's just not two new macro-maps looking virtually just like everything we've seen added for the previous seasons (except Hwarangdo)
Please tell me you've been creative dear map makers!

the last time they got creative we got stuck with Troy and Demon's Forest. I'd much rather see a great new map that is sensible and balanced, like Athena is
|
Btw, once this round is over, will they just toss all the names into the big tombola-lottery-machine for random brackets, or is there already some kind of organized schedule/bracket made?
As in, winner of group A meets winner of group B etc?

Demon's Forest was.. uhm, Demon's Forest - i'll give u that.
Personally I didn't mind Troy all that much - despite the fact it forced certain playstyles and had a slight racial imbalance.
Hell, either way, I'm happier watching creative play than constant macro wars. Call me a sucker!

Slight racial imbalance on Troy?
Why would you play anything other than P on there? ._>

mmm not sure if i'm happy about the new format =/
but pusan will have to be a fucking god to make it back to the osl TT

There is no way I will accept anything other than Bisu and Sea qualifying from their groups.

I like how there are only 10 zergs in OSL (out of 40 players atm), and two of them are playing the Red Sniper in a Bo3.
|
ROFL, no zergs getting through? Personally, i think Sea (as much as i love him) will have a couple difficulties with Hyuk and Midas will lose to Yarnc. Pusan will get through!!!! and ggplay will beat gogo.
edit: nm u said ggplay would probly go through.
|
Theres a very strong terran line up and the protoss lineup is good too, the zerg lineup is pretty weak in comparison
|

Does anyone have any images of the new maps that they could throw up in this thread?
I'm talking about "Plasma" and "Return of the King".
|
uuuuuuuuuuuughhhhh noooo. All the players I want in the osl are fighting strong players. Pure against Sea? Well, its not the round of 8, so Sea is going to win. DAMN! Kal vs Flash? Damnit. Iris vs Bisu?! Damnit!
On a side note, hopefully Tester can beat Dongrae and go up against Stork. Storks been pretty weak in pvp lately, and hopefully that will net him a surprise [but wonderful] loss.
|
Kal EffOrt Flash will be good
I actually think EffOrt will pull that 1 out
|
looks awesome, cant wait to see the new maps, they sound cool.

Troy had slight racial imbalance? Is this a joke?
It was TERRIBLY imbalanced.

I would love to see a map like Iron Curtain in the next OSL.

LoL since when is Iris some newby i completely agree with FS on this Iris is geting in to the OSL with or without Bisu or Pusan . OMFG IRIS vs Pusan will be epic !!!!Mind is going to steamroll his group with ease
|
I will be upset if Sea makes it cause i would rather Pure or Hyuk did instead.
|
PUSAN why! We could have had epic Iris vs Savior and Savior vs Bisu matches!!!
|
=O Two new maps? "Plasma" and "Return of the King"? Very, very interesting.~

Holy shit, you're right. Even so, Pusan/Iris/Bisu is probably the most interesting group. Definitely hoping for Iris to make a splash again. Kal/Effort/Flash is also intriguing. As for Hwasin and two zergs....lol. But then again, what would a major starleague be without Hwasin advancing to quarterfinals and falling apart?

Midas will not lose to Yarnc. Midas is fucking awesome.
Pusan vs Iris will come down to what they open with imo. Iris vs Stork in that semi final a while back with iris going 2 fac and stork going 1 gate expo is definately applicable with Pusan going 1 gate expand fairly often. I hope he opens with 2 gate or dt/reaver or something.
Orcourse I have my fingers crossed for pusan just cheesing the fuck out of iris, but id be cool with a macro war, so long as pusan wins.
|
Just compare Justin, han, Rock to Pure Hyuk Sea 
Luck is unfair, isn't it?

Erhm...?
Watch Nada vs Best and then edit you're post.
TvP on Troy is SO HARD

is awesome32278 Posts
Nooooooo poor EffOrt he got a terrible group
|
The format looks really cool now that I actually see it laid out. I still miss the group double elim format, but this has me pretty excited.
Predictions:
Group A - (T)Sea
Group B - (T)Flash
Group C - (T)fOrGG
Group D - (T)Hwasin
Group E - (T)Mind
Group F - (P)Bisu
Group G - (P)JangBi
Group H - (T)Justin
Group I - (P)Stork
Group J - (T)go.go
Group K - (T)NaDa
Group L - (T)Midas
But I hope I am wrong and a zerg or two make it through, especially if is uprooting one of these terran.
|
why does pure have to run into Sea already -.-
Whatever, I still predict Pure will take it
+ Show Spoiler [predictions] +
A- PPUUUUURRRREEEEEE- Very excited about his starleague debut
B-Kal- Flash is falling a little and Kal is a very solid player.
C-ForGG- Beast. I still don't like him but I greatly respect his play.
D-Hwasin, how lucky is he. There are 7 zergs in this round and he gets two.
E-Mind- Yay for inconsistency.
F-Iris- Looking pretty good in offlines. Pusan shouldn't give Iris much trouble, but Bisu might
G-Jangbi- Looking too solid
H-Rock- Han is too new to judge and Justin sucks.
I-Tester- I think Tester can beat Stork in a macro game.
J-go.go- The other two players are bleck at the moment.
K-soo- I can definately see soo making the upset. I would really like fantasy to advance, but I'm not sure he can win.
L-Midas-Others look weak
|
The real interesting thing for me in the Iris/Bisu/Pusan group is if Pusan manages to knock Iris off. Then we have the showdown that has been a long time coming, old MBC-style mentor and his student, now in SKT. Could be very interesting.
Hopefully Shark will manage something as well.
|
if 0 zergs make it out of this, im going to say sc is imba
|
Well..... the only ones who really have a chance unless someone chokes are Hyuk and GGplay..., Then again theres already 2 zergs seeded for the Ro16 soooo hopefully they can atleast get 4 into there.
|
|
|
who are the 4 already seeded?
|
July, Best, Luxury, Backho
|
|
|
A
 Hyuk
B
 Flash
C
 Much
D
lol Hwasin so easy
E
Mind
F
uhh Bisu I guess, but I bet this group will disapoint.
G
JangBi
H
han solo
I
Stork
J
go.go
K
NaDa
L
HerO
edit: Holy shit one zerg? And that's being hopeful to the extent of being delusional.
Luxury and July get seeded into this though right? So maybe three zergs...
|
i think whoever decided these groups loves hwasin as much as i do ;D
|
Hong Kong20321 Posts
wtf at above post made me realize how little zrgs there might be WTF -____- ;( or maybe the new zergs will be super ownage and own everyone lolz
gOGO NADA AND IRIS
|
i think everybody should cheer for zerg players...
i know is hard when is a noname vs bisu or nada...but...=(
|
|
|
Maps: Plasma, Return of the King, Andromeda
this is going to be hilarious
rotk is heavily balanced towards terran, plasma is heavily balanced towards zerg, and andromeda is andromeda
|
My predictions:
Group A: I think this group will be very close but I am hoping Sea will pull it out.
Group B: Flash though I think Kal does have a good chance.
Group C: fOrGG though I've never really had a chance to see Shark play at all.
Group D: Hwasin
Group E: Mind
Group F: I'm really hoping for Bisu.
Group G: JangBi
Group H: I really want to say han as an upset.
Group I: Stork
Group J: I'm thinking GGPlay but perhaps go.go will make it.
Group K: NaDa ftw!
Group L: Midas
|
i just wanted to say that i love this new system Bo3 each match is much more interesting and the better player will win for sure !

sea won't have any trouble with hyuk
pure will be a tough match though

I'm guessing these are the new maps. The were shown on the incruit star league section on fomos.kr
|
Where are july and luxury? Did Savior not qualify? I love all the terrans but i have a soft spot in my heart for zerg. I agree BW is imba if no zergs.
edit: just saw that 4 are seeded. Thats stupid imho.

well, they did place 1st-4th in the last OSL, and there have always been 4 seeds into the OSL Ro16

No savior did not qualify

Hoping to see the TL shirt flashed after Sea has dominated his way through these two easy opponents and terran once again reigns over the OSL.

That would honestly not be good. I'm at work and Sea doing that would cause such a retarded 'ROFL' I'd probably get fired on the spot.
|
Didn't Sea say on TL Attack that he would flash his TL shirt upon victory in his next televised match? He didn't do it in WCG, so he'll probably do it here unless he's forgotten.
