I predict 8-10 minute T>Zs; not enough mutas or lurks possible. Hello. You must be new. Let me tell you about a map called Nostalgia. This is one of the greatest maps of all time and had, gasp, only one geyser between main and nat.
Well that's an old map, gameplay has evolved. They didn't create maps like that in a long time. With good reason... I can't see Z winning against T on a map like this in today's pro scene (with the exception of cheese/ling all-in or highly risky hidden expansions). What do you want to do with just 1 gas? You need 2 for lurkers and mutas and 3 for defilers and ultras (better 4). Now they take away one and expect it to work out just fine? It's all a conspiracy to make T stronger!

I say Stork or Flash to take it all.
Have you herd of a guy called Jaedong?

I agree, Jaedong is the freaking KING right now. His level of play has shown that he is capable of overcoming economic difficulties, like playing a single gas economy, and still dominate.
However, Flash's recent victories, and the maps selection, cause me to expect him to win this OSL.

Jaedong and Savior will make it out of their groups I think. ^_^
|
I was hoping they would use Colloseum, oh well. But I can't wait for the new season!
|
The intro should be twice as good as the one two seasons ago to make up for Bacchus.
|
I think its a good idea that at least one of the maps favors Terran.. Last season and GSI the maps were pretty anti.
|
I'm hyped =) Finally some new maps and NO KATRINA!
|
yes Hwarangdo looks quite nice
