This choice was much easier for the WCS S1 finals with Apollo & Day9 and the lounge etc. Add Artosis to DoA and the choice will be easy. | ||

Its not that they "must have their little bit of extra", its that they do have a lot of extra to set themselves apart from WCS AM/EU and global finals. Letting go of GSL/OSL trademarks would be silly. And not everyone thinks WCS should be "truly global". | ||

The other region got another tournament created for the WCS. Korea had to "sacrifice" theirs to be a part of the WCS. The least they can do is keep the name. | ||

If this was the first season OGN put on a tourney and they wanted to that then I understand, but throwing away a 10+ year brand for WCS is just silly.

They have no shame when it comes to tiebreakers, refer to gogo vs effort vs shine for one of the longest nights of starcraft ever. | ||

You see where I'm going with this? I would have liked it if both decided to change the name. In any case, I'm not a big fan of KeSPA for not keeping the stats from PL separate the BW stats. Just like I'm not happy when they use the OSL for SC2 because they're different games and should be kept separate. It's their trademark, but I don't like the overlap. Which leads me to the next question? Will we continue to see the Golden Mouses handed out? Will they decide to bring back the Diamond and Platinum mice for those players who manage to win five/seven OSL titles? ![[image loading]](http://www.gosugamers.net/images/news/goldenmouse.jpg) I don't know what to make of it. At this rate I think it would be next to impossible. I don't know whether to be offended or admire those players who manage to rise up and win the OSL for BW and SC2 respectfully. It would be quite the feat. I'm trying to find a pic of the diamond and platinum mouse because I'm almost certain fomos had a picture of all of them on a table but I cannot seem to find it. Quite something else. Now that sir, is what you call a fucking trophy! | ||

JangBi even more so but at least these two seems possible. Fantasy, Stork, Effort - I don't see it coming. | ||

JangBi winning would make me cry. Also would love the fact that the new history of OSLs would start with 2 consec. Protoss wins. | ||
