Quick Comments

[VB_Blake]

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.

Final clues added!!!

Reveal will be late tonight, with detailed announcement tomorrow.

[VB_Blake]

With that final photo "new beginnings" it sounds like SC2SEA.com will be getting a huge revamp?

[Eddie]

I'm out of clues, so here's the reveal!



With the last few clues, people were starting to catch on that it was a website, but no one guessed the name correctly.

SC2 ONLINE

I will explain all the clues soon.

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.

Explanation of clues:



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 titled home
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.

[syfChase]

omg wooooo!

excited for a new revamped website

[uJeanZ]

[ToRSpartaz]

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.
