Why bother to attend OSL if it means working your ass off when you can go GSL where they seed you into the bracket | ||

Or if part of the reason they picked those 3 was because those are the 3 you think of when you think protoss zerg and terran  . And of course DRG seems to be better than Nestea currently but they used the reason that they wanted to pick 1 player who was doing well recently? xDWTF HONGUN? Is that old or is he not retired from SC2? That tweet of his had bad english anyway. | ||

this way for the first season, we will have a grand opening, and hopefully a surge of new fans for both GSL and OSL and sc2 in general! | ||

http://leveltory.com/osl2 http://leveltory.com/osl3 ^ graphical representations of the brackets my picks: A: I think Seed, NaNiwa, MMA and Life are probably the bigger names in this bracket. Would not be surprised to see any of the four make it, but I think Seed will do well here. B: Squirtle, Creator, YongHwa, and Symbol are probably the favourites, of which Squirtle is probably most likely to advance. C: MarineKing, Polt, and Bomber are the big names here. MarineKing is probably the favourite? D: This is not that strong a group, and the standouts are probably Happy and Genius. Genius probably will take this one out. E: Leenock, HyuN or July are the biggest names here. I think HyuN's actually favoured here despite the God of War and God of War jr, as he can take out both in ZvZ (he's pretty good at that lately). TheStC can do a good run too, but it depends on how he practices his vsZ haha. F: HerO, Tear, Tassadar, viOLet, ByuN, TAiLS and Ryung are the bigger names here - group of death? I would hazard a guess at ByuN taking it out, since he beat HerO pretty recently and has a strong vsP and vsT. We'll see exactly how strong next week though with his Code S group. G: Pretty interesting group, with jjakji, LosirA, YuGiOh, Monster, and Maru the more notable players. I think LosirA takes this out with TvZ trends of late, and his pretty solid ZvZ stats. Would not put it past Monster or Maru to surprise though haha. H: So we have GuMiho, Sage, Zenio, GanZi. This isn't that strong a group I feel, difficult to say. I would guess GuMiho if he can get his act up a bit and reach Code S RO4 skill levels again. Otherwise hard to tell. I: SuperNoVa, CoCa, JYP, BBoongBBoong and aLive hrmmm. Probably SuperNoVa or aLive, whoever is feeling better on the day. They're both pretty good, maybe SuperNoVa is a bit better. J: We have Oz, ThorZaIN, AcE, ForGG, Annyung and Keen. I think AcE is actually favoured here, he's playing better than the old AcE lately. K: PartinG, ByuL, sC, Lucky, and Puzzle are here. I think Puzzle is likely to take this? L: Pretty good group, with Curious, Moon, PuMa and TaeJa. If TaeJa plays well to his potential, this is probably his group. Curious or Moon definitely could do well too. I will probably be able to maintain a LR discussion thread for these qualifiers :D Is it worth it though? ie will we get live updates/ghetto stream/coverage from people there? haha =] | ||

Rather that they are throwing the established BW players under the bus by forcing them to compete with the SC2 pros. They aren't ready for that, and instead of working with them in the transition OGN/KeSPA has been forcing them to play two games at once. A finals without either a BW player or any these guys: MVP, NesTea, MC, DRG, would be a total disaster for OGN. So why take the risk and allow all these unknown SC2 players to participate? Should've at least just invited the famous SC2 pros only. | ||
