The matches to decide the OSL third to eight place finishers were played earlier today. There are also some interesting rumors about a format change for next season within OGN.
Casy and IriS lost their semifinal in this season of the OSL and played for the bronze today. ZergMan, FireBatHero, YellOw[ArnC] and Much lost in the quarterfinals and played for a fifth to eight place finish. Normally this would be quite important as the current format would seed everyone from first to sixth place. Number seven and eight would have to qualify again via the ODT. However there are some rumors about the format changing back to what it was before for the next season. That would mean that only top three get seeded.

Live2Win had to say about the rumors over at teamliquid here. Remember that these rumors are not confirmed yet.| OSL 5th to 8th place | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

These games were played offline, meaning they were not shown on TV. ZergMan is fifth, FireBatHero is sixth, YellOw[ArnC] is seventh and Much is eighth in this OSL. If OGN decides to stick with the current format this would mean that ZergMan and FireBatHero will get a seed for the next season, while YellOw[Arnc] and Much would have to qualify through the ODT again.

IriS showed off his TvT today, completely destroying Casy. It was almost sad to watch. If OGN sticks with the current format, they of course both get seeds. However, if OGN goes back to the previous format of the OSL, only IriS will get a seed.
IriS: Third place in the OSL.
On the 24th of February it's time for the final at last. NaDa takes on Savior for the title in a best of five match. This is definitely something to watch.
