Whoops! Thanks - I assumed it was Kennigit because that's who MLG_Adam addressed his initial tweet to. I fixed it in the OP

I'm quite excited that shit is finally happening, but I can't help but be fearful as well. Isn't it kinda early to match them against MarineKing and DongRaeGu?
I mean, those 2 are our top ultra gosus and have spent almost 2 years on this game, with several thousands of ladder and practice games and hundreds of tournament matches. I know that top BW players are very talented, but I don't see even Flash or Bisu taking a series off of DRG with just a few months of experience playing the game at a relatively high level.
Well, if they do, they're definitely the real deal though, and if they don't, it doesn't really mean anything (but that would maybe be a blow to their mythical aura).
I'm as hyped as anyone can be though, it's finally happening after all :D

BW players already have accounts in Korean grandmaster. I don't expect them to get embarrassed, especially with another six weeks of training.

Yeah, I know, but MKP essentially shits on KR GM (reaching ridiculous 80% winrates at time), that's not the same at all as hanging around at 50-60% winrate. They could still get embarrassed.
Well, if at least they crush foreigners, I'm fine with it :D

Don't forget that DRG is god of the korean ladder even before people knew who he was.

Wow, this is gonna be sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk if its true. Bisu, Jaedong, and Flash, I believe, all came out to Blizzcon last year, so I could totally see this being legit as this is practically Blizzcon being and Anaheim and having Blizzard take part.

We really won't know until we see them play. It's not going to be like Yellow vs Boxer in that god awful show match but we don't know if it will be like MKP vs random Code B player or if they are actually going to compete.
You have to remember as well that they will be doing a huge amount of in house practice in addition to the ladder accounts.
I find it hard to believe they will be better than MKP after only 2-3 months practice but who knows until we see them play.

April really was coming.
I am interested to see how well the BW Pro's transition into SC2.

It's an un-sponsored tournament currently and doesn't look like getting sponsored, also alot of the pros have openly stated they've spent way more time playing sc2 than bw and that the winner of this osl will be the one that doesnt bother much with sc2

That won't really settle anything. If in one year from now Flash/Jaedong/Bisu/Fantasy etc.. aren't at the top of the tree (at least the ones who dedicate themselves to the game) then it will settle that debate.
But I'm sure no one thinks Flash is going to show up to Anaheim having never played a televised game and rape everyone.
