Oh well, OGN's own choice I guess. Having race leaders being seeds is a choice for popularity, the choice is not made based on results entirely, but popularity, nestea / mvp are popular partially because they got that many GSL wins, and MC is popular for being the only GSL protoss winner too, and DRG is the most relevant GSL winner recently (since MVP is taken). The goal wasn't to seed the best players right now but to ensure public interest, I don't think they could have picked better. GSL winner was just a basic criteria for marketting. | ||

If the seeds are for marketing purposes then I can see Flash, Jaedong, and pick 2 from Fantasy, Stork, and Jangbi getting the KesPA seeds instead of the 4 from the current OSL. Not Bisu since he never won an OSL. | ||

This is THE Starleague, the one and only everyone in korea who has ever loved starcraft, has dreamed of being a progamer and more importantly Dreamed of winning THE Starleague. now you believe that MKP is the second best player in the world?(:p) When someone as good as him gives his best for the thing which he wanted the most his entire life, do you think he won't make it out of his group? Will the Competition be hard? Fuck Yes! Will that stop him? Fuck No! Have Faith. BELIEVE! | ||

On the other hand they are also trying to make BW fans care about SC2 in seeing the Ro4 of this OSL carry over, they are hoping the fans also carry over and that to ensure they feel that this last BW OSL "matters" and that the next OSL also matters. (Ro4 carrying over is an OSL tradition) Remember they are trying to market to 2 demographics, and to remind the BW fans that this next league was indeed an OSL, and not some imitation of it. | ||

They picked the best 3 for each race based on GSL and foreign tournaments which were MVP, Nestea and MC, and 1 more based on the person who has been getting the best results recently which was DRG. http://www.thisisgame.com/board/view.php?id=1229924&category=13438 Sweet, thanks for link. | ||
