July 16th is the date set as the beginning for OSL's new season. The non-KeSPA dual tournament will fire off with names like Mvp, DongRaeGu, Oz, Symbol, and ByuN.
The sixteen players who qualified through the non-KeSPA preliminaries or were given direct seeds have been divided into four groups of four. Those will be played in the familiar five-match GSL format. The top two of each group will advance to the next round.
