That is good to hear at least :/. Would still be nice to see SKT though.

Can't SKT1 just win 4-0 with (Z)s2, (Z)Hyuk, n.Die_soO and ummm (Z)Thezerg? Seriously though I'd rather they just half ass their entrances to the group selection (no ceremony/fan prep) than completely forgoing the ceremony. It really is like what the neitzens are saying that this is ignoring the fans.

I wouldn't expect anything less from CJ, or most other teams, for that matter.

The SKT players should definitely be threatened with DQ if they don't show up.

CJ's players have to go too.

Sets a bad precedent.

Group ceremonies are for show while playoffs are the real deal. I understand why SKT is attempting to do this.

However, as logical as the reason is, I don't think it should be allowed as it goes against the traditions of the OSL

If SKT did not tell anyone else about this beforehand, DQ and possible other actions should be taken, in my opinion.

However, it seems that OGN knew about SKT's opinion beforehand, as well as the other teams.

Disqualification is pretty harsh. It's unlikely that the players decided not to go anyway. Many problems with progaming seem to come from the very intense event schedule.Go SK!

Well we sure as hell can't disqualify the coaches. At least the threat of DQ should be enforced, I agree with others about setting a precedent if this goes completely unpunished.

I must be the minority that is actually encouraging SKT's actions.

If I were a pro-gamer, I would say fuck ceremonies, formality, and limelight and just practice for a the upcoming match. They need every edge they can get. Assuming Bisu, Fantasy, and Hyuk are introverted, nerdy guys like myself, I would assume they're feeling the same thing.
So close, and yet so far

i don't know about all the hate, their reason is pretty understandable.

if you had an exam in two days, and your friends ask you to play basketball with them tomorrow.
if you don't play basketball, your friends are missing a player, and can't play without you, or they can play, but it will be weird with a missing player.
i can totally understand if you wanted to study for the exam instead of playing.

if anything, blame the planner/scheduler.
they shouldn't have scheduled the ceremony and the playoffs so close to each other.

its too bad the group stage stuff cant have been scheduled after the proleague playoffs. I hate how starcraft events and stuff are all so crammed around each other literally year round.

edit: haha nextstep we think alike ^_^

Um... They are professional Starcraft players, and you aren't. They have fans, and you don't. They have to abide by their company's decisions, and... do I need to go on?

Also, I don't know if anyone remembers, but Flash has done the same thing from MSL. He did not show up on a few MSL ceremonies for who knows why.

While I can't support a DQ as SKT couldn't care less if the players didn't qualify, it is truly a dick move on their part.

Playoffs are played at 13 on saturday morning, it's stupid from OGN to schedule the group selection on friday evening. Especially they could have done it this wednesday since there was no games at all. But I agree that it is also stupid from SKT to wait until thursday to say they will not attend in order to practice more. Imo, coaches should just have complained about the group selection schedule when the date was released.

This.

If Bisu, Fantasy, and Hyuk are going to be DQed, it should at least be for something that they had a say in.

From the way things sound, it seems that SKT management cares a lot more about PL than individual leagues. Punishment on the PL side of things is much more likely to get a response than the OSL side.

A fair response would be to put all of them in the same group. Together with, say, Jaedong.
