The most prestigious of the Korean leagues, namely the OnGameNet Starleague, held their group drawings for the new season today.
After a break of about a month korean progamers are now getting back to business, with OnGameNet (OGN) and MBCGame starting into their new respective season of individual leagues and team leagues.
OGN's upcoming Starleague features the current best of the best and since its players get to pick groups on their own, fans highly anticipated who would pick whom. The Starleague consists of sixteen players, divided into four groups. Four players were seeded: NaDa, Julyzerg and Gorush because of placing 1st to 3rd in the preceding Starleague and stork[gm] due to winning the last Challenge League.
In the first round each of the seeds gets to pick one player, so NaDa picked first, then it goes backwards with the player having been picked by the fourth seed (XellOs in this case) picking the next one and so on. To make it easier the numbers indicate the picking order.
 NaDa | > iloveOOv (1) | >  Reach (8) | >  Oversky (9) |
| Julyzerg | > Midas[gm] (2) | > GGplay (7) | > Kingdom (10) |
| Gorush | > Hoony (3) | > Iris[gm] (6) | > Jju (11) |
| stork[gm] | > YellOw (4) | > XellOs (5) | > Goodfriend (12) |
OnGameNet tries to split the race more or less evenly, so with six Terran, six Zerg and 4 Protoss players there had to be one Protoss in each group, which means that for example group 4 couldn't pick a Protoss and GGplay had to pick Kingdom.
Group one really looks like a group of death, featuring the three OGN champions NaDa, iloveOOv and Reach. NaDa even has two titles already.
Other past OGN champions are Kingdom, Julyzerg and XellOs.
