1. Create an account on BracketMaker here. Fill in your TL.net username as "name" so we all know who it is on the leaderboard. It's easy, and takes two seconds.
Unlike LiquiBet, you have to predict it the whole way, naming everyone, including the winner, much like NCAA brackets that everyone fills out for USA College basketball. So it's extremely important that you get your first round picks right. It's weighted so that the later rounds are worth more points.
Good luck and have fun!
Note: Predictions will close January 17th Midnight pacific time.
iloveoov is winning the votes so far...which is nice since he was Winner Of WCG 2006... I made my own Bracket of "OSL Bracket"... 1st Place: iloveoov 2nd Place: Midas 3rd Place: JulyZerg
Nice job setting this up Hotbid. We used this to predict some small forum tournaments on another board I visit (GF) and it was a ton of fun.
Sea.Up is going to win this OSL!!!! You heard it here first folks!
EDIT:
Oh, and you can view the leaderboard to see how other people voted! Which is cool too, so make your bracketmaster account name match your TL account guys! Seeing "user2873 thinks Oov will win" is boring. I want to put a person to the predictions!

You got it wrong there, buddy. July was second at WCG 2006, and since we all know WCG's are the most accurate predictors of Starcraft skill in the known universe, July - not third-place Midas - will finish second in this OSL - as well as every single other Starcraft tournament that will ever be held ever (until the next WCG of course).
"But oov and July are on the same side of the bracket!! How can that be?", I hear you whine. Never fear! Such is the power of the WCG that even the single-elimination bracket must do what it wills. Do not allow yourselves to be confined, nay, brainwashed by the heathens and their "bracket limitations". Open your eyes and believe, place your faith in the World Cyber Games, and it will truly go "Beyond the Bracket"

If you click on "user2873" you can see their name sometimes. Dunno how that worked out.

you have no idea what you're talking about if you think that wcg results have any bearing on the OSL. actually you just have no idea what you're talking about in general.

I was following his joke...and I put results of last WCG Korea and WCG to follow it...
NADA is gonna be the first one to have 4 OSL and 2 in a row ( Like Boxer but totally, he has more than BOXer). He proved that he could handle difficult situations, turn the matches around. His TvT is quite consistent atm. But It's gonna be along way though, GL .
