Everyone else has so far gotten crushed at Code A qualifiers, and those don't even contain all the Code S and Code A players. I wonder how the format will be like in terms of number of players though. | ||

Even the ones still in OSL are probably practicing SC2 80%+ of the time and only practicing BW the day before or the day of their match. | ||

I could see him taking a shot at it and getting decently far into the qualifiers. | ||

I think it might just be honest discrimination, because it limits players like Puma JYP, Hero and the like from getting in. It might not be much but it is a limit. | ||

Wait, what are they going to tell sk telecom (their sponsor) then? We just "Didn't feel like it anymore" lol? Has something like that happened before? I know about the gomtv classic, but a pl league? | ||

Not really , players who have BW matches this week will practise more BW unless there is a chance that they will be send for the ACE match , because if you aren't good in both SC2 and BW chances are that your team will stop sending you . | ||

I know about the gomtv classic, but a pl league? They'll probably only do it with sponsor approval, and judging by the recent trends, I don't think sponsors will really mind. They probably prefer SC2 over SC1 (from a marketing POV), but Korean fans will probably be disappointed that BW really ends. We'll see.

It's still not easy to play both games due to differing game mechanics and hotkeys. | ||

Even the ones still in OSL are probably practicing SC2 80%+ of the time and only practicing BW the day before or the day of their match. I am pretty sure the ones in the OSL are at least practicing BW 80%, ro8 games (i think) were much better compared to the games in the odt or ro16 or even BW games in PL. This is the last osl, i am sure everyone there wants to win it, so they are prob concentrating in bw more than sc2. Anyways, I dont think they messed up KesPa players much more than they already have, probably the next OSL is going to be way later, they might even be some seeds from this BW OSL, but yea they are going to have a disadvantage as they will still be playing bw/sc2 compared to gsl players only sc2. But who knows what might happen to Proleague. | ||

Anyways a few questions about OSL. How many spots are there in this tournament? Also are their seeded players from the last OSL? Ive never followed one before and don't really know the format they use just that its "The" tournament to win in BW | ||

They are improving fast . Most of the top Kespa players are gonna be middle to high korean GMs by the time of their qualifiers have ended and the mixed matches begun . At that level anyone can take a game from anyone . Mind games and preparation will be more important then overall skill level . | ||
