I don't think there's any problem with this at all. The players need their practice (especially Bisu) and giving them a day off doesn't seem to be such a good idea at this point.
While it seems kind of mean by skt i can see why they would want their players to get as much practice as possible.

I'm sure all SKT fans want their team to perform at their best in the PO, I for one am totally behind T1's move


its hardly fair when only one team does it

How can anyone be a SKT1 fan after this


Scheduling was terrible. SKT protested. I would find it normal if CJ wanted to do the same.

Well it's not like other teams can't do the same.

If they're fine with only a couple hours of practice before a playoff bo7, so be it I guess.

It's not the world's end, sure.. tell that to netizens though. Just reading through their comments I can tell how furious they are atm. Some netizen reaction "I hope you fail all individual leagues, and playoffs too." There are more harsh comments too.. I just hope they didn't fail miserably, or ..will be eaten alive after that...

Though I am kinda disappointed.. it's just not fair to other teams >.<

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.

This shit is fucking hilarious.

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?

As lame as this is, there isn't honestly anything lost by this. Bisu, Fantasy, and Hyuk have as much of a personality as a rock. I don't imagine the players see much in this ceremony despite how much they want to "please the fans". None of them do anything interesting, say anything particularly outrageous, and some look close to falling asleep.

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.

Well CJ would be missing Hydra and Effort. Why not just have SKT1 and CJ both agree to have their entire A teams show up to the group selection so NO ONE practices muahaha.

Yeah Ack1027 made a good point saying that T1 is the team with the most qualified players in OSL, hence they are more affected.

Fox only has Pure, and MBC only has Sea iirc.

another clue that SC is not an actual sport. If withdrawing players from an official part of an event is possible, the whole event is amateurish

It's like FC Barcelona would've announced that they wont let their players to attend the World Cup from the start, they might join the Spanish team later on

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.

withdraw from an event is one thing, withdrawing from a part of the event is not possible in professional sports, afaik

Wow, my respect for SKT just went down the drain. That's such a lame move. My respect for CJ went up though. ^__^

I believe in the almighty Grötslev! -- I am never serious and you should never believe a thing I say. Including the previous sentence.

The only thing I see wrong with this situation is people asking for disqualifications. What's with this black and white philosophy?

well, i should have made my point clearer aswell: maybe skt´s behavior isnt too professional, and it wouldnt be possible in most professionally run sports. but my point is that in any truely professional sport, such a schedule overload wouldnt even happen. skt´s move is just a reaction to the unprofessionality of the overall organization of pro sc.
