(Obviously, making money is the point, but entertaining fans is the stepping stone.) God forbid that the players get to take a break from their 10-hour-a-day practice schedule to take part in a 2-hour group selection ceremony that they only get to go to once or twice a year that is fun and relaxing. It would be "suicide." Typical Korean bullshit. It's before an important match for SKT.. what part of that did you not understand? of course fans are important factor in this thing but this grande finals are important for both those individuals & the team in terms of financial sitaution and prestige.. and of course FANS.. It's not like SKT prevented them from participating in OSL matches.. it's just one stupid group ceremony.. there isn't even Firebathero in it.. just lame. Netizens or whoever rioting against this thing is just dramatizing the sitaution.. just think about what would you think if you were that team's coach, player etc. This group ceremony, now I'm looking from calendar, can be postponed to Wed.. It wouldn't create this much noise if CJ/MBC/FOX did same thing.. | ||

Put yourself in the shoes of the T1 managers, with the pressure from your corporate sponsor as well as the fans to deliver and win big, then, oh yeah, we have the group selection ceremony... Terrible scheduling, but NO ONE can fault the decision. I'm half temped to issue bans for everyone suggesting the T1 players be DQ'ed... what the fucking hell is wrong with you guys?!? This is one of those scenarios where Kespa needs to step in and solve the problem to justify their existance. CJ players have the same scheduling. It's not as if it's unfair. | ||

I can't believe all the anger directed at T1; SC fans can be really, really dense at times. People being 'disappointed' by them, or having 'all their respect go down the drain'. Really? They're between a rock and a hard place. They did it the RIGHT way by reaching out to OGN to express the issue, but nothing was done about it. IMO this is a total, TOTAL fail by Kespa to prevent stuff like this from happening. IMO, this is exactly the type of thing Kespa should exist for. If you guys are going to nerd-rage, at least direct your anger to the right place. | ||

Btw, you seriously can't compare the two apples to apples btw unless they both had exactly the same number of players involved, and they were the exact same players versing each other in PL.  | ||

Not only does the ceremony itself take a couple hours, but there is time associated with getting to/from and preparing for the event (and I mean more than just showering and getting dressed). This could easily eat up anywhere from 25%-40% or so of their total practice time. You really think that won't make a difference? | ||

It would be like saying people shouldn't be CJ fans after the match-fixing scandal. One person's actions do not define the entire team, whether they're a player or a manager. As far as disqualification goes, it's still not fair to the players to DQ them over a decision made by the management. | ||

(Btw it sounds unfair to CJ because Effort and Movie need so much more make up). Just joking, but I made this post in reply to people who think the group ceremony will only take 2 hours. Transport + getting dressed + heavy make up + ceremony + interviews about the groups + transport + make up removal = at least 6 hours. They have 2 days, 10 hours a day. That means the group ceremony wastes like 30% of their practice time. edit : typo | ||

To me the Group Ceremony is part of what seperates brood war from a professional sports. No serious sport would allow a group with several of their top players and think it was a good idea (Midas comes to mind). And people calling for disqualification, to what sport are you comparing this scenario? Most sports do not make a joke of how they make their brackets in the first place. Sure, there are big ceremonies for the world cup and CL in football. But the players don't have to be there, and if they are present they have no influence over the brackets. | ||

SKT did get kind of screwed over. | ||

FUCK. YOU. let me say that again... FUCK YOU I don't care which team this is, just because it's 'your' team, that doesn't mean you can justify this in whichever way possible. What a low baller move. OGN should DQ the absent players and move on. Seriously, what the hell guys. | ||

It doesn't matter what team it is. It's a management fuck up. | ||

Honestly, after reading all the posts in this thread, your post is the most ignorant of them all. Sure, we are SKT1 fans, but we aren't defending their actions for the sake of being a fanboy; we are reasoning. IMO, this was really poor planning and a failure on kespa for not having solved this schedule conflict. | ||

That doesn't mean we all have to agree with their decision and that they maybe should've handled it earlier. But seriously, "fuck you"? | ||
