It seems stupid that a player would agree to the ceremony considering the situation. Hey guess what fans players would like to win.

To the post mkchoi0801 made,
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.


but that doesn't make any sense, your so called 'reasoning' comes from the fact that your a fanboy. It's not justifiable no matter how you put it. I just made the first post to piss you guys off, btw. Sure, keep defending your team, I hope it curses them out of both OSL and pro league.

People are being overly harsh on SKT here. It's just the group ceremony, I'd say it's a lot less important than the proleague finals. It seems like it's just terrible scheduling, the maps should have been given out earlier etc etc. 3-4 hours of practice time might not seem so bad but given what time they've been given their maps that like a quarter of their total practice time (given that it will be more like 5 hours absence and a loss of flow)

TL mods, never change. I didn't think internet was this easy to piss people off... Fanboyism is awesome.

Edit: I'll actually add something to this lol.
I'm sure that there have been scheduling conflicts before in the unbelievably long history of starcraft progaming. Did anyone say, 'fuck u fans, im not gonna show up to this cuz i need to practice.' To top it all off, CJ players are showing up. Progaming is nowhere without fans, and SKT just fucked them all in the butt with no lube. They couldn't devote 2 hours of their time to entertain the fans. So selfish, so SKT.

You are wrong. As a fervent SKT fan, I am glad they will have more time to practice and see them deliver on saturday. I would even like to see CJ practice more as well and see incredible games.

Do you really think fans want to watch poor games due to a lack of practice ?

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.

totally waiting for the Teletubby ban hammer on this one

this. i think any skt fan would prefer to see them in at least one additional round of the playoffs rather than at this stupid group ceremony thing. i would fully understand if cj had decided to pull out of it too.

im not even an skt1 fan (well, not as much as someone with skt1 as their sig) and i would also prefer to see their practise improve their play. group ceremonies are so goddamn boring and i have no clue wtf is going on anyway

however, i watch starcraft because of the starcraft, so i hope the practise skt1 gets in improves their level of play

I know it was a 'smart' move on SKT's part. But what's the point of progaming, or any other e-sports or sports in general? It's to entertain the fans. They're destroying the only event that's purely entertainment where players get a chance to add personality, trash talk, rivalry into their profile. Had CJ removed their players as well, they would've had looked better. Guess what, CJ just made you guys look like a bunch of tools that NEED practice to win.

I agree with everyone saying that it's a matter of terrible organization. I'd even endorse it if CJ did the same move.

And for everyone saying "they are neglecting their fans":
As a SKT T1 fan, would you rather see your 3 best players on the team fool around at a group selection for 3 hrs or see them perfectly prepared at the playoff matches? This decision is a nobrainer.

Just when Bisu got into OSL lol

Man, SKT just do whatever they want. Like changing MSL schedule, blah blah. sigh, SKT

It is an understandable decision, probably just bad timing

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

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.

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

i edited my original post to make my point more clear



-Entrance ceremonies of the olympics are usually skipped by the athletes which compete in the next couple of days.

-Qualification rounds in ski jumping are quite often skipped by the top 15, even if the qualification determines the single elimination in the first round.

I'm sure there are a lot more of examples for such a behaviour. Nevertheless those acts of skipping part of the events are often heavily discussed with similar reasons as in sc here.

No one trash talks or adds rivalry anyways, at least Bisu, Hyuk and Fantasy won't. All they do is have some stupid contest (i.e. drawing or dressing up) and then they pick their groups.. and that's it.
