Someone from OGN says that the next OSL should start in early 2012. There are 2 sponsors who are currently working on the details of the size and scope of sponsorship, and once that concludes, the new season should start.

The original stamement should read as IF we can get two or more sponsors interested......... then we shall start the OSL........
but still promising news though.......
nope, article clearly states two or more sponsors have already shown interest
스타리그를 후원하겠다고 나선 기업이 2개 이상이며 후원 규모만 확정되면 곧바로 리그를 시작할 수 있을 것이라고 전했다. = Two or more corporations have agreed to sponsor the OSL, and the league will be able to proceed as soon as the amount of sponsorship is fleshed out in detail.
2 sponsors? Nice! Hopefully this means they can expand the scope of the OSL to compensate for the loss of the MSL? I'm thinking televised preliminaries and maybe turning some Bo3's into Bo5's so we get more games. Ok I'm getting way too far ahead of myself. As long as they get rid of that myOSL garbage I'll be pleased.
Wait, what am I saying? It's the fucking OSL! I'll be happy no matter what incarnation it comes back in.

They could get rid of split Bo3's and Bo5's. That would save some air time together with reduced PL format, and maybe they could create some sort of lower league like Champions League & UEFA Cup (or whatever it's called now) or Code S & Code A in GSL. Maybe there would be no prizes (unless sponsorship allows otherwise), but OSL slots/simple exposure as a player? This would give lower tier players more air time, helping them get over their nervousness when playing televised games.

Why would you want to split the leagues? If you do, than you don't have people like jangbi who come out of the prelims and go on to win the entire thing. I hope they keep it the same, and they delay one of the sponsors so we don't have to wait or the second osl of 2012.
