April 2005 - July 2005
Introduction
This is the first season with the renamed Ongamenet format. Prior to this we had the Major League known to everyone as OSL, as well as a Minor League called Challenge League. Players failing to place 1st, 2nd or 3rd in the OSL together with a bunch of qualified players from the Challenge League then battled out the spots for the upcoming OSL in the so called Dual Tournament.
With the new format what was formerly known as the Challenge League has been renamed to Ongamenet Dual Tournament Round 1 (short: ODT R1), while the old Dual Tournament is now simply Dual Tournament Round 2 (short: ODT R2).
The System aka "how the f*** does it work again?"
ODT R1 consists of 24 players divided into 6 groups with 4 players each. In each group a mini double elim tournament is hold, this is what happens:
- 1st placed of each group goes to ODT R1 Play-Offs
- 2nd placed of each group goes to ODT R2
- 3rd and 4th placed of group are out
The 6 1st placed players of ODT R1 battle out a winner, who gets a direct seed for the next OSL, the other 5 go to ODT R2.
ODT R2 again consists of 24 players (the 5 1st placed of ODT R1 who failed in the Play-Offs + the 6 2nd placed of ODT R1 + the 13 players who didn't get 1st, 2nd or 3rd in the OSL), they play the same kind of mini tournament as above, the following happens:
- 1st placed of each group goes to next OSL
- 2nd placed of each group goes to next OSL
- 3rd placed of each group goes to next ODT R1
- 4th placed of each group goes to the offline qualification tournament for ODT R1. Pros HATE to go there, it's where players like Nal_rA get stuck and then fail to get into OSL for an eternity.
