But people should stop expecting this to be a GSL2 with the same format. This is the OSL; it's good that it's run differently. Makes a good contrast. Also on an individual match basis, I think the GOM player is going to win, but if I had to bet on a 'gom vs. kespa' overall result I think 3-1 is the safe bet. | ||

Say what you want about DRG and Nestea, but as if the votes for Fantasy and Jangbi are based upon their sc2 skills compared to DRG + Nestea. Slumping or not, if this poll was DRG vs LegalMind it wouldn't be close. Not saying Jangbi is bad because BW fans will smack me upside the head. But the votes are not based upon the falling results of these two zerg players. No way no how. | ||

Looking good for our GOM heroes. Day 2 should be a pure cleansweep, and Day 1 "our" Dong , NesTea and Dishwasher should pull them through the washing machine drum with only Flash keeping Kespa off from absolute embarrasment. | ||

I actually believe that the current trend of SC2 of playing big boX series with so many tourneys running with little preparation time is one of the reason the current metagame is so boring/static. Players dont really have enough time to prepare specific builds tailored for their opponents/map and have to fall back on standard ISO-9001 boring play. | ||

It allows to have a really big preparation time/number of game ratio so we can see really refined map/player-dependent uncommon builds.
