Well, Thezerg went from being an unknown to me when he took out Hwasin in a previous season, so I wasn't taken by surprise too much.

How about 'Three ace members qualifying'? That takes the cake for me...

How is it suprising that 3 people lost before the finals?

Not three people, three meta-titans (or used to be)...

Guys, Casy beat Tempest. 2-0.

Now, there are upsets. There are mega upsets. But Casy winning a TvP series, that's different. Way different.

How Jangbi did not manage to come out of that group is beyond me. Thought he was supposed to be one of those players who are "dominant off-line but struggle during televised games [though probably not anymore]"

Yes, and it's spelled Casy, not Casey.

He hasn't.

Yes he has, his first ever tvp series, at least according to TLPD.
It was in "2003 3rd OnGameNet Challenge League" versus Rock, 2-1.

Biggest surprises for me: JangBi not making it, Iron making it and the number of zergs advancing overall

Well, when I saw forGG was against Miracle I kinda expected him to lose. But Savior just can't catch a break in the OSL prelims.

And I wonder if JangBi is losing confidence in his PvT or something?

Come on, some giants have to fall, Savior/Jangbi/ForGG are just the unlucky ones this year.

2 SKT1 Zergs? They're SKT1 Zergs!

And the Casy TvP is pretty random too.

I bet most people didn't think too much about this poll before voting, I mean, I'm not really that surprised that Casy made it seeing how he prepared anti-toss builds for proleague and SKT1 zergs aren't that bad compared to some of the other scrubs in their groups. Canata winning vs Skyhigh is actually shocking though.

Sea/nada/mind/ losing in the first round of their groups pains me. Good terrans seem to be lacking in an overall sense of this osl. Light is pretty much the only terran that could do anything in an osl that qualified here. Casy, ruby, canata, gogo, and miracle won't do much. Zergs definitely got the best qualifiers, a lot of young blood won their groups and are trying to prove themselves as the next big zerg.

FBH, bogus, and iris losing sucks too. This osl is definitely a zergs, I'll be rooting for by.hero.
