is the most sad news of the e-sport of all time, Starcraft was the first real e-sport in a country and now Starcraft 2 is the only chance to save a little of this legacy, if wasnt starcraft 2 today i think LoL and DOTA would will BW anyway, So Starcraft 2 and HOTS is the only hope to save competitive RTS.
Rest in Peace
Hmm, that's a really interesting point actually.
I think you're right. DoTA2's million dollar tournament pretty much would have happened one way or another... I really hadn't considered that.

I follow sc2 mostly now but this news still made me feel hollow.... hard to say. But it was bound to happen eventually it is better this way for the players since they won't have to train both games after this osl. Just glad I was able to see pro bw in Korea while it was at its peak.

 More trophies for MVP

can someone explain how OSL season and prelim format usually works? The format changed from season to season, but I believe it was like the top 12 or something got seeded into Round 2 and 3 respectively. Prelims gets 16 players + 5-12 placing from previous OSL got placed into a Dual Tournament with 24 players (6 groups and the GOM style group format - winners vs winners (winner advances, loser plays winner of losers match for 2nd spot in group), losers vs losers (loser gets eliminated), ). From there, 12 players (top 2 of each group) would advance and meet the 1-4 placing in 4 regular groups (which means everyone played everyone). Then top 2 of each group would advance to playoffs (Ro8). I'd imagine the format will change for OSL SC2 though. Importantly also, the group stages were usually Bo1s and Ro8 to finals were all Bo5.
ah okay, sounds difficult to get my head around right now. haha thanks :D

That actually feel worse to me, the top BW pros getting knocked out in the qualifiers by GSL players rather than pro BW dying. Not only does the league disappear but the fan favorites gets smashed.

That would suck to see them lose yes but you still know they will eventually rape everyone which makes you feel a bit better =)

RIP BW. As sad as it is for you BW guys, there is still much to look forward too in sc2.

Bittersweet. That's the only way I can put it.

What a way to shit over OSL name. They don't have the decency to change the name. At least MBC and MSL were close with a little dignity.
Well, in years to come a new BW league will rise again, mark my words.
i dont think so. Who would make another BW league?

I'm just wondering how big the brackets are going to be with this many players trying to participate in it.

This is very sad, but I'm glad OSL is staying a tournament to add something else to watch
Although I'm not too upset, I've stopped following BW a lot since Oz disbanded
