It's been mentioned in the past few weeks, but OnGameNet has tweaked their OSL qualifier format significantly. They've introduced the concept of "My Starleague" (Great wrap up post by jpak), which is basically an open qualifier for ANYONE who is not a registered progamer.
They will have several one day tournaments in most of Korea's major cities, with a few famous progamers attending each as "scouts," with the highlights from the competition being compiled and broadcast by OGN at a later date.
Yeah, it's basically 'Korean Idol: Starcraft BW.' Not terribly surprising, as the Reality Competition TV shows have just started to catch on in Korea, and this would go with the recent cultural trend. The first TV show will air on the 20th.
The first regional auditionqualifier took place last Saturday in Busan, Korea's #2 city and #1 port. Fomos reported that there were hundreds of participants, from students (OGN's minimum age requirement was 12) to office workers.
There were a few participants of note, such as Fantasy's younger brother, and some friends of progamers. Members of the KT Rolster organization were on hand to scout out any potential talent, and it appears that they invited a few players to trial with the team.
The next event will be held this weekend in Jeju and Gwangju.

My Starleague is scheduled to last till mid-may, then there will be the usual prelim with the amateurs that qualified from My Starleague + regular pros. After that, dual tournament, and then finally OSL. Even if they rush all the proceedings after MyStarleague, I don't see how they're gonna have OSL before June

Sounds amazing to me!
Can't wait for it to get started!

I think reach has just spotted new talent in the press crowd. He doesn't fuck around.

In the Kwangju prelims later today, Hiya, Anytime, and the Hwaseung head coach Han Sang Yong will be the scouts. Kwangju is the hometown of Anytime and the head coach.

Kind of scary having Sashin Toss be scout :<

Effort should participate while he's waiting to be pro again.

I'm not really down with this idea but maybe I'll be wrong and it will be interesting.
