Wow they split them up into different days.
Does anyone know if it will be best of 1 or best of 3?

From the looks of it, Bo1.
Which makes me scratch my head. Bo1 doesn't work very-well in Sc2 IMHO

Yes, that is why OSLs takes much longer. They are Bo1 and everyone gets to play everyone else in the group( round robin). If they need tiebreakers, that will take place one week after these games are done.
It is the ultimate preparation match. 1 week 1 opponent 1 map.

OGN is on LIVE television

I like that there is one match of each group on each day, as opposed to having a marathon day playing out the whole group. It's easier on the players, and makes it really exciting for the viewers. GSL should definitely copy that.
But they should do Bo3 instead of Bo1, allows for mind games and prevents the inevitable cheese fest that Bo1s tend to be.
Hyped for this! Want to see more of the Kespa players.

We have to remember that OSL is different from GSL. The break between games are much longer and we get interviews, replays of the match, etc. Although, sc2 games are generally shorter, I don't think they could fit 4 Bo3 in their broadcast schedule. From what I know, the GSL schedule is much more flexible in this regard.

I am not sure about that. Cheese in Bo1 is very risky and usual done when a player feel really inferior to their opponent. But at OSL Ro16 level, I don't think you will see too many straight up cheese. Strong timings and all-ins? Yes. Cheeses, probably not.
In BoX, the better player might be inclining to cheese because there is a chance for him to win outright. And if he loses, he feels he can win the next set of standard games.

True, the OSL isn't GSL. But I feel that Sc2 series needs to be at least Bo3 in individual series, Bo1 feels like ice hockey where only one 20-minute period is played

Even though it's Bo1 you can still potentially make it out of the group with a score as low as 1-2 (going 2-0 in tiebreakers) so I'm not too worried.

Doa is the only caster I know of on ogn, they roped in torch and moletrap from LoL for the tyving OSL finals english stream so maybe them as well.
I just always watch the Korean stream though, I find it heresy to watch the OSL in English.

My girlfriend would not enjoy me watching it on the TV with untranslated Korean going. It would be a bad choice for everyone. The best part about the matches is that it is only four games. No 5 hours of matches daily to watch.
