People have to understand as well, that prestige is what makes OSL the premier league, not the prize money.
Wonder will that prestige will maintain in this bloody switch....or people just interested in the prize pool for it to be prestigious (my impression of the SC2 people).

SC2's most presitigious league is GSL. It is the most presitigious league because it has by far the highest skill level - and the only way to change that, is if a league sports a higher level of play constantly.
It won't change to a league just because it is older or has a longer history, and a league that has a higher price pool but worse competition won't be as presitigious. That's at least how I see it, and I guess the majority of "the SC2 people" would agree.
Also, your condescending tone towards the fanbase of this game is driving me mad. There is so much hate and arrogant behavior on display in this thread it's a shame. We all can symphathize with the loss of your hobby, but ffs cut the elitist remarks!

I wonder why so many here are taken by surprise this is happening. Already at the beginning of May at the joint Blizzard-KeSPA-OGN-GOM StarCraft II eSports Transition Conference OGN announced the following:

OnGameNet plans to hold an individual level Starcraft II league in July. They would like to make it as open as possible so that anyone can compete, whether they are KeSPA, GomTV, and even amateur players.

Seeing how BW pros were already switching practice to SC2 because of Proleague, hoping that OSL be kept running as a BW league along with a new SC2 league was just wishful thinking. And of course they would continue to use the name "OSL", as it is an established and recognizable brand name for OGN.

So my question is this: If Boxer goes into the SC2 OSL and wins one, is he still eligible for a Golden Mouse, since it would be technically be his third OSL win?

It is a sad and a very happy news. The sad part is, that BW is basicly beeing put to rest.
The good news is, that OSL will be played by all SC2 progamers. The GSL just got competition for the most prestigious league in SC2. Maybe now GSL will try to up their production value (streams).

I cant wait for this.

I was hoping that they would cancel the OSL with this one and then just make a new league with a different name, to preserve OSL for BW. But whatever.

We all knew this is coming but that doesn't make this news hurt any less. The OSL is the most prestigious SC tournament in the world and I hope OGN makes as smooth as possible transition so as not to tarnish, in any way, its prestige, integrity and history.

I hope they not only retire the wall of champions, but also the trophy and maybe even the name like some others have been saying.... the OSL is a hollowed championship, where winning one is an achievement, and winning three makes you a legend... SC2 needs to make its own history not piggyback on BW's legacy.

And how should they call it?

It's OnGameNets League about Starcraft, so not much of a choice in names...

Easy. OnGameNet Starcraft 2 League. I suppose you can still simplify it as OSL, much like GSL (Global Starcraft 2 League).

Of course, Starleague is OGN's flagship league and brand name; there's no way they'd just drop it now. But it'd be nice. It'd be nice if they could do it that much justice and retire it all. The name, the records, the awards, the games, the wall of honor, the legacy. Just start anew.

really? is starcraft 2 that bad that it would bring the brand of OSL down? That feels like a bit of a slap in the face tbh and I personally see no point in it either.
