How awesome would it be to have 12 players fighting for 4 spots in tiebreakers. Effort vs Gogo vs Shine anybody? 
I wonder if anyone will lose the game and go "WHOOPS MY KEYBOARD WAS BROKEN THE WHOLE TIME let's regame" and then go on to win the OSL.

Possibility of 12 players for 4 spots in tiebreakers is insane. What would've been even crazier is (and it was a possibility before last night) if all 8 spots had been decided in tiebreakers.

in the OP, I think modesty should be ahead of hyuk because he won the head to head.
Well, It looks like flash doesn't have much competition. The only one I would give a chance vs him is fantasy.
And go jangbi! Although you would have to go up against flash...

When does the tiebreaker play? I really want to see this one.

Yeah I agree. As a Flash fan I would like to see him play against:
R8 Flash vs soO
R4 Flash vs Killer
Finals Flash vs Fantasy
soO and Killer are showing impressive game sense these days and Flash vs Fantasy will be thrilling.

rofl is hyuk playing fantasy again

I've been looking around but haven't seen it... what's the playing order of the quarters? Is it group a vs b and c vs d or something else?

So far I have some ugly predictions for players who already left a group:
-Flash- almoust none of the players who advanced so far have any chance against him in Bo5, with the possible exeption of Fantasy, and only with him playing his A+ form. In Bo3 he can be beaten by Zerg if unlucky enouth.
-Fantasy- the best chances to eliminate him is to beat him in Bo3,as he is known as a real pain in the ass in Bo5. The best player to eliminate him in Bo5 (except of Flash) is Killer, with a style really effective against Fantasy's shacky TvZ. Also Hydra would have some chances, but if Fantasy not bring his TvZ retard mode, cyclop will also fall.
-Hyuk- be beaten in the very first Bo5 unless playing against Zerg or Protoss. Seems inevitable to me that he will be beaten by any terran if any get to semi to combat him.
-Soo- I will be surprised if he go far. But hey, its SKT Zerg. nobody knows when he will strike.
-Modesty- he lost good form from last OSL, he will fail.
-Killer- if he will dodge Flash, I can see him potentially taking gold, but better pray for Flash defeat in Bo3 or hope for Fantasy to play his best and somehow kill him in Bo5 (if there is possibility to such a semi). Against Fantasy, he can win. Against Hydra...it will be difficult.
-Hydra- another candidate for gold. Must aware of both Flash as well as Fantasy. In Bo5 he can beat anyone except Flash.
Now players, that still may advance:
-Jangbi- will fall. fantasy, Zergs, Flash...I see him being eliminate by any of these.
-Baby- can beat anyone in Bo3. Can be beaten by anyone in Bo3. Against the swarm he have some chances in Bo5. Fantasy will probably beat him (if current trend will continue), Flash will almoust surelly beat him. Just dodge Flash.
-Calm- this guy is a fucking enigma. I dont even dare to making predictions for him.

randomized, group winner vs runner up

I hope protoss gets some imba maps next season, lol.

I believe Modesty is the first seed and Hyuk is the second seed since Modesty > Hyuk. He should be placed above Hyuk in the OP.

this. bisu is carrying protoss right now. As much as I wish it was not true, but bisu has issues in individuals so protoss is screwed. map makers should balance it out with making better sl maps (maps only used in osl and msl)

As you are all quite well versed in player analysis, I probably don't need to say this. However, I will say it because of how revolutionary it is:
If Flash wins this OSL, HE WILL BE THE FIRST PLAYER TO WIN 4 OSLs. I'm sorry, but it just seems to me that EVERYONE should be rooting for the emergence of a singular entity. That singular entity being hands down, the most accomplished and arguably the BEST player in these last 11 years of professional BW in Korea.
And yet still... you root for and talk about players who are, in comparison, nobodies.
Will you step beyond your petty loyalty to players less deserving and wholly inferior than He? Or will you cling to your own sense of novelty and faux individuality, rooting for a player who will never reach these heights, at which Lee Young Ho is arriving?
Even if you are not a fan of his, if you are a fan of BW, you will root for the advent that Flash is bringing to SC BW history.
He is making history. Take notice.
( I understand that this post is extremely opinionated and I am calling the community out. Sorry if I actually offended any of you with my insults. But for the most part I'm just having some fun pseudo-trolling and being dramatic. However, my excitement is genuine. I want to hear some cheers for Flash!)
: )

Well if Killer wins he'll be the first Zerg who has lost to Boxer's nukes to ever win an individual title, what about that huh??
