You should really read the article(s) on the Ongamenet Starleagues and the format.Wait wtf?? wat happened to julyzerg?!?!?! and wat does ODT mean???
The first stage is the Challenge League (they call it Starchallenge now?). Well, there's also qualifiers for the Challenge League, but no one really pays much attention to those. Let's just assume it all starts at the Challenge League.
Two players emerge from each group, playing the format as you can see by the results above. The player that won two games (let's call him the "Winner" of the group) and the player who went 2-1 (the "Runner-up") emerge from each group of 4.
The "Winners" all play a mini-tournament to see who advances directly to the next Starleague. Rock won that. He's the #4 seed in the next Starleague.
All the remaining "Winners" and the "Runners-up" (of which July is one) advance to the Dual Tournament (ODT, you asked what it meant) and those players and the players from the last Starleague (who didn't finish in the top 3) get divided into groups of 4, similar to the Challenge League / Starchallenge (whatever they call it now). They play in the same format, with two players emerging from each group to advance to the next Starleague (it doesn't matter who the "Winner" and who the "Runner-Up is, both advance likewise with no difference at all).
