Oh... well, I'm going to enjoy this OSL while it lasts. I had always thought that there was going to be another BW OSL after this, not sure why.

KeSpa players are going to look like a joke against the current SC2 players unless they improve pretty quick.

Sad for broodwar. I also feel this will turn into a second GSL as the bw/sc2 pros don't stand a chance (yet)

Bad idea to allow SC2 pros to play against the BW pros in the first SC2 season. It will end up in all the former BW stars getting roflstomped. Second SC2 season, sure, let them compete, but for now the skill difference is still far too huge and i don't think it will change enough within the next 1-2 month.

I still want to see Boxer vs Flash...

~~fuck ongamenet~~ probably thanks still for lasting so long despite all this marketing shit around SC2. SC2 not bad game but too much taken from BW and still even then couldn't supersede it. BW will always be #1 in my mind.

Hope for new BW showmatches, when SC2 will be running, though. One does not just ~~walk into mordor~~ forget something that has been around for fucking ETERNITY.

Showmatches gogogo! Come on Ongamenet, you can't not do it.

Hmm... seems to me that it will be mostly GSL players if they hold qualifiers of any sort. Not many of the BW pros are good enough yet... they have time I suppose... How long till this would start? That time could make a huge difference.

according to the ELEPHANT mentality the kespa players should be good enough to make all "original" sc2 players look like a circus act by next season right? Or has that whole group of the community that believed the ELEPHANT talk eaten their words already?

That's just ugly.

I don't think anyone actually thought the BW players would go straight from BW to dominating SC2. Mostly they were jokes, or people saying that they had what it took for them to become big. And we have yet to see.

I'd rather have them play BW for two-three more years. :<

Perhaps we as a foreign community should also honor this End of an Era with some event similar to the series of legends showmatches by OGN.

How about a BW tournament with all famous foreigners in BW? Eg: Grrr, Elky, Idra, Nony, Ret, Day[9], Tasteless, Artosis, Incontrol etc. Could be epic?

Doubt that's a good idea. Grrr and Elky doesn't even play anymore, and I'm fairly certain the rest haven't touched BW for more than half an hour since SC2 was released. It would be like watching players at C+ battle it out or something.

EDIT:
We do get this though :>

It will be a total chaos. How will Flash, Jaedong or Stork feel when somes like MVP, Nestea or DRG, some B-teamers at best in BW will win OSL ? And another is the popularity factor. Crowds in PL seems non existent while for BW in OSL it's always crowded. This is pretty depressive.

Why? Isn't there a lot of premier SC2 tournaments already? Why is it so special to you that OnGameNet Starleague switches now? You do not have a single post in any of the Brood War forums so it can't be because you have any history with OSL and wants to see a new angle to it. You are simply some guy who has heard of it, so excuse me for wondering why you are so overjoyed that the last bastion for Brood War fans all over the world has now fallen.
