If we look closely at Eddie's photo, there are a series of hidden images that we can see. (Pay attention, they are very well hidden) I will attempt to show them in these following zoomed in images.
If you look closely in the top left corner, you may be able to see a graphical depiction of the world (or Earth). Eddie has in the past liked to use this as a representation for OSC tournaments, and the impact they have had in unifying the starcraft globe. I think this is a critical piece of the puzzle, but still, only the beginning.
The depiction of the world is mirrored by the opposing corner, the bottom right, where it appears a cartoon character is depicted; giving a thumbs up. I'm still not sure who this is meant to represent or if they are someone we should know. However, if we interpret this image at face value, I believe this cartoon is to suggest that this announcement will be something positive. In combination with the graphical representation world, I suggest that this announcement will have globally positive impact.
Moving on, you'll notice here that an area of Artanis is covered by Coming Soon and StarCraft II signage. I believe that if we combine all our information so far, it suggests that this new change will be coming soon to have a very positive effect on StarCraft II around the world.
With me so far? Now, here's where it really goes down.
Now, if you compare the original with the following photo you'll notice something very subtle,
Did you realise?
Well, it is clear that the area which is covered by the StarCraft II logo is where a typical human nose would exist. In the above image, you'll notice that Artanis, does not have a nose.
This. Is. Huge.
I propose that in a soon to be announced update, in a series of single player missions, the protoss will discover plastic surgery and thanks to this, all protoss will receive a nose through surgery. I believe that this is a very viable path for the lore to take and that this would indeed be a hugely positive change for StarCraft II world wide.

My guess is that it's surely gonna be some tournament, but specifically archon mode tournament? Still hyped as **** though! Can't wait for the announcement!

Sources tell me that this is something called the Justice League. Now I don't know much about comics cus I'm not some weird ass nerd but what I do know is that these people are called heroes.
So we have heroes (champions you might call them) ... In a league... I think you see where this is going
Here we can see a person holding a trophy. Now do you really think anyone is gonna bother making a trophy for a #dedgaem? I didn't think so. So this trophy is probably for something else.
Now Ryan thought Artanis was covering his face to hide his newly acquired nose, but I have another theory. What other reason do people hide their faces? Shame.
And what would he be ashamed of...?
People are misinterpreting the justice League clue. It's not about league it's about the justice. This is clearly for a competition where no protoss players are allowed.

Or ONLY Protoss players are allowed!??!!
Starting to think this is about OSC partnering with WCS in some way... or maybe Eddie is announcing a team? Ugh who knows!!
After these clues.. obviously something with homestory, don't think it's a sea thing because of the world picture in the top left.. the hsc logo is also next to your pic Eddie, but that's probably just coincidence
not sure what to make of the Greendale thing, or the next letter~~
My guess is Eddie has an idea for a teamhouse which he spoke about doing in the past the taketv logo doesn't 100% mean it has anything to do with taketv and greendale community college is in California so my guess is Teamhouse in california for SEA players so we can train and become champions?
SC2SEA team house based in Greendale, Victoria sponsored entirely by Eddie.
Eddie becomes a full-time prostitute/camwhore attracting affluent clients from around the world in order to pay for the whole operation. Anything for eSports.
The formation of a revolutionary new team composed of HOTBIGTIT, Superman, Batman, FlaSh (who is announcing his return) and those other guys who are also in the top right. Oh yeah and some players from SEA I guess. We will call our selves SEAsoned ThuperHeroes~
And um, uh, we will win every GSL for the next 1974 years (EST.imated lifespan of LOTV).

Reason: PSIDEMI called it first omg
I also know whats going on.. maybe its a fray merger?! O_O
I definitely think people are starting to get on the right track though... maybe look back at some old eddie posts for clues or massive red herrings!?!!
Eddie is gonna buy a baseball field and a studio to stream sc2 players from all around the world battle it out in real sports and probably hangman.
It's like chess boxing.
All the american sports in that picture are ones that players have been found to have taken illicit drugs to improve performance. I'm suggesting Eddie is opening up a Drug-testing facility in Greendale.

Haven't you started messing around a bit with unnecessary components?
If all of that many components are related to the new thing it must be something really big yes

I have had to hunt down additional pictures, as not ready to announce until mid week
Yeah after this update i'm starting to think it's SEA based league. OSC and taketv are going to be somehow affiliated... I have no clue what that college is there for though.

Maybe Eddie lives in Greendale, Vic :O

Only other thing I can add is that the horoscope probably indicates this will be a year-long thing, or a yearly thing (OSC?). And the isoceles triangle might mean that its broken into 3 even lengths/seasons.
So maybe an OSC equivalent of a team league, open to international teams, organised by Eddie, with homestory-cup esque finals hosted at his house in Greendale...

I can't for everyone to have to make connections to all the pictures when it's fully announced.
it's either going to be a "well that made no sense" or "HA! I was close!" kind of moment
If I'm remembering correctly, PSISTM has a "team house" of sorts that NoRegreT stayed at in the United States for a while and attended LAN's in the US.
Maybe something along the same lines but for Australia?
Ok so I think it has to be "SEA Online, Home of the OSC League" and, as Demi suggested, Eddie will be hosting a new website as a platform for a new organisation, that will host the OSC and potentially a new OSC Team League. The organisation will be partnered with psistorm gaming and potentially TakeTV (although I feel that this is less likely), and the league will be split into 3 equal seasons with a grand finals at the end (WCS much?).
Here's a breakdown of the images (from left to right, top to bottom) in relation to the above:
The map of the world: The OSC and league is open to all players, and will be a global event.
League Photos: There will be a league...
Justice League: It's a league guys.
Triangle: Representation for three seasons.
Globe + Mice: Online event...SEA Online...
Purple thing with Cat Hat: No ******* idea
Dolla Sign Increase: It's an org and binnis makes money
Horoscope: 12 month cycle, as OSC (and league) is known for
News: Indicates an org to me, something to do with the content they will produce.
Success: Again, organisation
HSC Logo: An example of an organisation hosting a competition, possibly something to do with a teamhouse, possibly partnership with TakeTV
Man with trophy: Championship...
OSC Logo: straightforward
Keyboard with Dolla sign: Online competition with lotsa money
Psistorm gaming: Possibly something to do with teamhouse being used for offline finals/offline events, or other partnership deal
Greendale: Not too sure on this one. Greendale in Vic seems way to remote to have significance, unless it is where the organisation is registered/where Eddie calls home but im doubtful. Might have something to do with California teamhouse, might subtly be insinuating a new community (as demi posited).
Gyroscope: Not sure but maybe an indication at the manpower/employees behind the new org
Eddie: Eddie is god.

I will make a detailed announcement explaining everything at 12pm AEDT tomorrow, when the site will go live. It will be a soft launch, before our big expansion in the new year. I'll be available for a AMA for a couple of hours tomorrow after the thread is posted.
I had hoped to make an announcement video, but some big and unexpected work stuff come up today, so it will only be presented in text as a result.
As part of this new website, we will be launching a weekly community open tournament. More details about the site, the tournament, features, new bonuses and prizes to be revealed at 12pm AEDT tomorrow.
1. Clue here is Online.
Picture 1 is a common representation of internet connecting countries.
Picture 2 is the globe connected to mice - online
Picture 3 is News connected to a mouse - online
2. Clue here is League. > OSC League
Picture 1, Professional American Sports Leagues
Picture 2, Justice League
3. Clue here is Home - New home site
Picture 1, the Purple Alien is from a DreamWorks Animation movie titledhome
Picture 2, was a big red herring, Home Story Cup. - People focused on the event, organiser or brand, not the wording.
Picture 3, the keyboard has 2 home keys. (Another interpretation is OSC Pays you to play!!)
4. Clue here is OSC
This really confused a lot of people. What do they all have in common, look at the words, not image!
All have OSC in the spelling
5. Clue here is Community
OSC is a community focused organisation. Online communities/forums, ties back into new home site theme.
6. $'s + success.
Clue here is growth, as a couple of people touched on, as an organisation, we aim to grow, and expand, the next step is to have our own site, to improve features and events for our players and fans.
7. Another red herring.
PSISTORM GAMING is an OSC Sponsor. Again Clue is OSC, not focus on the team itself.
8. Tournaments/Championship.
What does OSC do best? We run a lot of tournaments and a massive championship. Tournaments = OSC.
9. Pretty straight forward clues.
Eddie is involved,
It's SC2 related
OSC Banner + Logo
10. New Beginning and expansion!
Thanks for playing!
Wasn't easy, but we had a lot of guesses and discussion running, which was it's intention.
Great initiative Eddie. Can't wait to see all the awesome stuff coming out of this.
Also RIP sc2sea. Another angel taken too soon

Love the look and feel of the UI. However, from what I've seen I feel that the actual design and planning of the website is more catered for those of a more competitive disposition. True the original purpose is to promote and highlight the features of the OSC tournaments etc, but I can't imagine the website, realistically, replacing Sc2sea.
Can't exactly put my finger on it necessarily, but for players on a casual basis, whom may be seeking more of the community based environment, may be less inclined as to using the services of Sc2online - OSC related news aside.
Even the smallest donations help keep sc2sea running! All donations go towards helping our site run including our monthly server hosting fees and sc2sea sponsored community tournaments we host. Find out more here.
