Rain vs DRG was first kespa vs esf and you saw how that went down.


Well, that was OSL, not GSL. I think ESF will be much more motivated in stopping KeSPA player from winning the GSL. + Symbol has so many great Zerg players to practice with already because he was in TSL.

OSL is much more prestigious to all koreans.

Wasn't that for bw only? I thought GSL is more prestigious for sc2. Anyways, what I meant was ESF will be more motivated in GSL since they kinda consider GSL as their home turf.

What do you think the best SC2 players were doing before sc2 was released?

I realize, but wasn't OSL in SC2 sort of a failure?

Some article I read awhile back on tl. It said KeSPA wants to focus more on proleague because OSL wasn't as successful as they hoped or something.

Proleague has always been a bigger draw than OSL...

Well, they wanted OSL to be able to compete with GSL, but wasn't that successful, especially in foreign scenes. So, they are focusing more on proleague.

If they expected OSL to be as popular as GSL right off the bat that would be really dumb. Especially with their choice of casters and their production they put into the eng casts. It will be very different for HOTS OSL :)
