they haven't?

because osl would have probably dropped sc2 if blizz wouldnt sponsor organize the wcs, osl now has LoL and their last sc2 osl was a fail so no point actually to run a sc2 league on their own pocket

They won't win any way, not with Life and Innovation both in the tournament

B-but, you don't understand man, Protoss are going to roach-bane cheese all-in Life and Innovation out of the tournament.
That's what this thread has taught me at least.


Ah yes, and SC2 has too much variance and bad players will advance

But it's still random as hell, since every player feeling behind against a given opponent will probably cheese.
I don't know why OSL have to do things differently from every other WCS tournaments, going away from a perfectly fine format.


OSL is not going away from any format. They are simply not moving closer to the format you want to see.

Big difference.

Here are some interesting studies I've come across with regards to Bo1:

I seem to remember people pissing and moaning about Proleague when they found out the format after it switched to SC2 as well. In fact, you could probably just copy this thread and change "OSL" to "PL" and it would probably be the same thing. People eventually came around.

Like most things, people are just overreacting because they haven't experienced it. OSL is wonderful, tense and dramatic and has been the premier SC tournament for a decade for a reason.


We experienced an SC2 OSL last year and it was bad.


You can't compare the level of KeSPA players during the first OSL (fresh from dual proleague) and now.

The GSL used to use best of 1 in early 2011. It was changed because it is an inferior format.


Starcraft 2 in 2011 was a complete joke. Especially the map pool.

No idea about what? Ofcourse Gom will do season 3, we already knew that and it is completely irrelevant.

So what do I not have any idea about? Are you trying to tell me that the OSL last year was as good as any of the GSL?

And why should people like me not complain? Gretech has done a great job for the last couple of years and have tweaked their format to make it better for us viewers. OGN is using a format without even considering what the viewers want to see. Best case is the results are the same but we get to watch less games, which makes it lose/lose.


Have you considered you are *not* OGN's main target audience? It's not like there was no eSports before SC2 or you came in.

Why would they make Ro32 Bo1? That's really, really, incredibly stupid. I thought they had to copy the proven GSL format, instead of making shitty modifications of their own again. That makes me really angry.

Meh, now that my annoyance at their territorial alpha male butchering of the format just for the sake of it is out of the way:

A: Soulkey, Flash: poor Ragnarok and Yugioh should be outmatched, though I think they have a slight chance of upsetting Flash if they play really aggressively.
B: Innovation, Savage: Innovation is pretty much set (except for anything could happen with the BS that is Bo1s), second spot is a coin toss. I suppose Flying is the favorite for 2nd, but w/e.
C: Sos, Effort
D: Symbol, Curious: Please not Shine, please anybody but Shine.
E: Life, Jangbi: Life is obvious and Jangbi has been in amazing form lately.
F: Leenock, Roro: I would love if First somehow made it out of this group...
G: Squirtle, YongHwa: LG-IM Protosses, best Protosses.
H: Rain, Keen: Bomber will be in choke mode early this tournament, I feel.

Dunno about a group of death, but Group E certainly looks really interesting.

Seriously? Group E over a group with Flash and Soulkey? Only notable player in E is Life, sure the other are good, but they aren't top top tier.

What people want to see is LoL and Word of Tanks dude.
But World of Tanks Bo3 at least, let it be clear.

FlaSh vs Soulkey will be very exciting, but it's only one game. There are 2 other players you know, and it will be ZvZ... I agree that group E is the most overall interesting group to watch.

JangBi has one of the best records in Proleague, he is really good!!
