5 of the 16 players have a play-off match on the very next day (against each other). One of them is the current champ. I'd say this is significant enough for the ceremony itself to be rescheduled. It'd be pretty understandable. edit: Oh, just saw they already did. Nice!  It would have been a less than exciting ceremony anyway, even if they showed up, because they would have been too busy / tense to party along. | ||

They aren't really as confident and strong team as they were last year (and Bisu still needs to fix his PvP from what I have seen of it), so they kinda need the practice this year. | ||

Besides the fact that the ceremony was already moved, you have to realize that this decision was up to the coaching staff and management, not the players. Is it Bisu's fault? Hyuk's? Fantasy's? no, they do what they are told. If they were told they had to attend the ceremony and get less practice time, they would. | ||

Shame on T1, but you had to expect a team to try this eventually. The real travesty is that there's nobody standing up to them. | ||

Understandable but kinda saddening that they would do this to OGN. Ooh OSL delayed to the 21st! | ||

This is a good sign and I am glad they are practicing hard. Do you realize SK Telecom T1 have gone way overboard when it comes to prioritizing team obligations over the schedules of their players before this incident? They once forced their players to actually withdraw from participating in individual league qualifiers just because the team was underachieving in the Proleague. SK Telecom T1 has always been a douchebag of a team. I hope they crash and burn. | ||

It is more than just a ceremony. It is for them to select their groups and try to make the groups as favourable as they can be to their advantage and to try to avoid groups of death. Not only that, it is important in the promotion of e-sports and fan service. Without fans, no pro sports can exist. | ||

Everyone had a say in the decision, as stated by Manager Jo in the SKT1 interview after the press release. | ||

SK Telecom T1 has always been a douchebag of a team. I hope they crash and burn. It was only the MSL, not the OSL. They did what they had to do to reach their goals according to their priority, and to the rules of the (e)sport, that is as simple as that. One just needs to look at their success and their fan count to see that does work quite well. Btw, this time, they may have made a move that will actually change OGN's habits of organizing ceremonies at terrible timings. This would be a very good thing. | ||
