EPTWhile it seems kind of mean by skt i can see why they would want their players to get as much practice as possible.

I would find it normal if CJ wanted to do the same. how is the scheduling terrible? it is tradition since the first time osl ever had a group ceremony that it would be held on a friday. the date was probably set in stone as soon as the qualifiers started. skt should cop it on the chin and deal with it. | ||

The last proleague finals all anyone on TL ever talked about was how PROLEAGUE is now greater than the OSL GRAND FINALS. The writers said this in the article and people bandwagoned hard as shit. And yet, when a team follows suit to practice for proleague all this hate comes out. Yeah it sucks to fans momentarily, but again people on TL bandwagon hard as shit. I mean look at the thread talking about if you follow teams or players. Most people follow teams and I'm pretty sure your team raising a proleague trophy would be better to you as a fan than having Bisu/Fantasy/Hyuk talk at OSL group ceremonies. And in the spirit of competitive BW, wouldn't you prefer if all teams had more than 2 days to practice for a full 7 set? Yes, it would be easier if ONE team [ SKT ] followed what everyone else did but is it fair if 3 of your team's aces who made OSL are unable to practice? It is not their fault they have 3 who made it into OSL they should not be punished. All teams should have agreed to push this group ceremony back OR gotten the maps earlier. I feel this is all a management fuck up by teams + ogn schedulers. Where is the urgency in a group ceremony vs Proleague? | ||

If it was someone like Hiya or Firebathero, I'd be pissed since they actually add something to the ceremony but none of them are particularly interesting to be honest. The group ceremonies haven't been good for nearly forever since none of the players are even interesting people. If SKT wants to do this, go ahead. Not sure where the outrage is to be honest, especially considering every capable player besides Best has to turn up to this meaningless ceremony. | ||

If withdrawing players from an official part of an event is possible, the whole event is amateurish sry, but thats bullshit. in professional tennis its absolutely common for players to withdraw from the double competition if they make if suprisingly far in the single competition. in all other professional sports, there is only one organization running the events, or at most 2 diffeferent ones ( football national associations and the uefa) which hold much more contact about planning their events to not collide with each other. the true problem here is that ogn and the proleague dont synchronize their schedules to prevent situations like the one we´re talking about. i can fully understand that skt doesnt want to waste 7 or so hours of their player´s valuable practice time for an PR event. in particular, fantasy also had to prepare for his msl games today. | ||
