Absolutely no concern? Dont you think that the current system is at least soemwhat broken? I mean, dont count me in for the removal of the ability to switch players around, its fun and healthy, but maybe, just maybe, there could be a system where groups didnt exceed or drop below certain ELO points. MSL introduced the reseeding system at ro8, making Flash vs Jaedong for like three straight finals so they can "up" the viewership. OSL doesn't have such a thing. Yet, OSL is far more prestigious than MSL. Proposing to "fix" the group is just ridiculous-- it motivates greed and discredit any shenanigans that can be pulled in the selection ceremony to incite drama. Not to even mention that the top 8 seeds are immovable. There are also two players exiting from each group. If anything, the system gives plenty of leeway to ensure the qualified players move on. | ||

OSL is such an established league that the name Starleague became synonymous with individual leagues, even though it's not really true (OGN Starleague vs MBC Starcraft League). OGN is also more financially stable than MBC (official stream, no virtual stage bullshit, etc) and has historically pulled in the better sponsors. How awesome was Korean Air S2's venue? | ||

Although I see Flash as the strong favourite to 2-0 it, there is no guarantee at all that he'll make it out of it alive. I like the feeling though. I'm all nervous and excited already.

Didn't the OSL originally have a larger prize pool than MSL as well? | ||

I'm not concerned. Obviously big names = bigger ratings, but bw is entrenched enough in Korean society to not be completely dependent on them. At least 1 of TBLS always gets bounced out in the group stages, yet MSL always comes back the next season. Future potential sponsors may decide to wait until after the group selections, but I don't believe professional brood war to be so fragile that a one time fluke would jeopardize the future of the esport. | ||
