Seems like they'll be using a new system starting this OSL. I do not understand it 100%, but I have a pretty good idea so I'll translate here.
1. 12 players who were placed into OSL through Ro36 will select one of 12 balls in a box. The balls are labeled 1, 2, and 3, and the ball does not get replaced into the box.
2. The first part of the group selection is finished when the 12 players are divided into 3 groups; group 1, group 2, group 3.
3. Here comes the fun part; the 4 players who were seeded into Ro16 from previous OSL gets to pickDRAW now, starting from the top seeder.
4. Here's how it works. The seeder will selectDRAW one player from group 1, group 2, and group 3. This will complete a group.
5. Top seeder (winner of previous season) can select the order of the selection for other seeders.
Different from previous years, and no golden ball.
Welcome to Bacchus OSL 2010.
EDIT: Now it makes much more sense. Since I made a mistake...

It all depends on the first draw.
If all the good players get seeded into one group, Flash will have to pick a good player. If all the good players are spread out, Flash will have easy time going through the Ro16.
What are the chances of all the good players getting into one group, forcing flash to play one of them. Either way Flash is in a good position. If they pick in order that means the fourth seed gets what's left right?

Flash decides the order of selection for the seeds so not necessarily the fourth seed.

Ahh I missed that part for some reason, you're right. Thanks for clearing that up. This is going to be interesting.
Honestly, you can't pick a group from 4 only good non-seed players. Even if you get Fantasy, Kal and Sea in one group... then the fourth player will inevitably be less fearsome

Yes. But honestly, this OSL lineup is rather weak. The only unseeded players Jaedong needs to worry about are Sea and Fantasy.
Edit: I take that back. He only needs to worry about getting Sea. But since the top 2 in each group advance, that won't be much of a worry.

If he gets second, we'll have another nice Ro8 JvF. -_____-

on 2nd thought, this is going to be much more boring. previously we saw the preferences of all the players, but now we only see the preferences of 4 players!
