Of course. Heck, an entire hybrid season would not have any substance because the sample size and skill differentials would be too small and too great, respectively.
It really is a reset :S Let's see how this looks like when there is a more substancial number of games played. Then we can start taking some conclusions

I doubt any team is really practicing BW. Maybe players practice a BO for BW when they need to be fielded in BW but that's it I'm pretty sure.

And yeah the sample size is low, plus you have players preparing for MLG, OSL, or both which skews things. I don't think we'll get reads on the best players until they play SC2 exclusively.
Can someone explain how the different rounds factor into everything? Do they play a certain amount of rounds and never start the scores over between rounds? Thanks. I couldn't find anything on liquipedia or anything.

I don't understand it either. I thought they'd keep their scores but looking at liquipedia it seems that they just start over fresh after every round, but what would be the point of the rounds then?
There used to be map changes between rounds and often a week or two or longer break, and up through 2010-2011 there were winner's league rounds. SK Planet season 1 the maps just had updates (XXXXX to Neo XXXXXX), but 2010-2011 proleague still actually changed maps entirely (12 entirely different maps, and then 5 maps had updates to make 17 maps used in the season).
Also winner's league was a huge part of the format. The 2010-2011 proleague was R1 R2 Bo7 proleague, R3 R4 Bo7 winner's league, R5 R6 Bo7 proleague. KT only made the playoffs because the dominated winner's league rounds.
meh... these are interesting and mad thanks to the op for posting them, but they aren't too applicable. these guys haven't even really started their SC2 careers yet.

Can't blame them though they're being forced to play a game they didn't choose to play.. professionally and It shows in some games. we'll see though.. I can see stork retiring for sure.

Even though I see your argument, alot of the players have said in interviews that they enjoy playing Starcraft 2. Maybe they are just saying that though?

It could just be PR, well we dont know until the day where OSL goes pure SC2. Then we will see.
