Last month some people complained that such a thread was unnecessary...ahh, screw them. I always found the announcement in BW pretty useful as a PR reader
Do it!

JWD's semi-derail almost made me forget this is an OSL threads. Today's games should be pretty good. Most exciting one should be Backho vs type-b, maybe even Bisu vs Zero for the revenge value.
Jaedong should have a field day with Yellow[arnc] but his schedule has been insane lately and unpest wouldn't be improbable. Leta vs Kwanro should be pretty straighforward aswell, because I don't think Kwanro has what it takes to resists Leta's 2 port play.

You must not watch a lot of sports.
And in SC, it's pretty much impossible to tell whether a player throws a game or now. Unless you suddenly see Jaedong driving ferraris and hanging out with the Korean mafia.

Unless you suddenly see Jaedong driving ferraris and hanging out with the Korean mafia. It was pretty obvious in the Blizzard Invitational in Germany. Stork was playing against a Chinese PvP, and they both wanted to throw the game (Stork double expoed) by doing stupid micro back and forth and barely attacking each other. Stork went into the opponent's main, was attacking the single pylon that was powering all the gateways, and didn't finish the pylon off when he easily could have. In the end, Stork still won and he had to play against Jaedong.

I wouldn't mind if Yarnc won and brought us some great games later in the tournament. Because chances are he won't unless Jaedong throws... I hope he loses... .
I LOVE U THO YARNC, I JUST LOVE FLASH MORE

I doubt Jaedong would throw his game. In my mind, it would kind of be disappointing to his fans.

aers' stream is really nice

The OSL theme song is gay, I wish they had something more aggressive like past seasons.
