EPTIMO, the ones who are against such a decision with a hard on are ignorant here. Not saying SKT1 decision was the best but they even decided for OGN to choose their group for them if all fails. Seriously, this thread...

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. Yup. SK Telecom T1 do what they can to get the job done. They isolate themselves from the other teams, strut like they own the scene, steal the best players from other teams with their superior funding and just make rash decisions that are only beneficial from the team's point of view. The only reason SK Telecom T1 has so much fans is because they are the most approachable team from an idiot's point of view what with the man dressed as a huge headed robot or whatever the hell it's supposed to be, being sponsored by one of the most well known company in Korea, and having a really good looking guy (bought off a financially crippled team, so typical) as the star player to attract teenage girls. Okay, being a very successful team helps also (being the home team of Boxer doesn't quite have the effect that it once had several years ago). Don't pretend that it's decisions like this that got SK Telecom T1 its massive fan count. What if OGN didn't change their schedule? It's always easy to say that the decision was right in retrospect once everything turns out fine. SK Telecom T1 didn't give two shits about the fans, the players and certainly not the other teams. Had OGN been stubborn with its schedule, the entire situation would have been very messy indeed. Whatever though. SK Telecom T1 rules the scene with an iron fist and does what it pleases. I think they're assholes in need of some serious head pounding. | ||

Having all the all-stars in the same room is the important part of the group ceremony. | ||

It's just confusing because whatever happened, it was symmetric in that both teams had the same amount of time to prepare. SKT trying to cheat a little by getting a few extra hours is kind of unfair, and CJ was the class act by agreeing to participate anyway. Not cool. Having all the all-stars in the same room is the important part of the group ceremony. CJ also considered pulling out, but in the end let their players participate. The primary reason, I believe, was that EffOrt was last season's winner. Don't think that CJ hated SKT1's decision 100% however. CJ criticized OGN for setting Group Ceremony on such date. | ||

Oh, and it's your job to take this exam, so it's not like you were slacking off. And you've been having practice exams of the same sort for over a year. looks like my friends decided my exam was more important, and decided to reschedule the basketball game  anyways, you can never be "too" prepared. everyone knows that last minute crunching is the most effective way to remember things in the short term. nothing wrong about doing last minute preparations. nice decision by OGN. | ||

I have to agree with this. would that 3-6 hours make a difference? Its like cramming a night before a exam. Besides, there playoff is a two-parter. Does it mean for the people that play on the second day dont have to attend to the first day? | ||

Yes, and he can say what he wants (sounds a lot better to state it was a uniform decision rather than 'evil management dictating how it is'), but from past situations with the teams/players, when the players are told to do something (in this case, the set schedule), they do so. Sure if the coach goes "hey, would you prefer x or y?" they would probably say so, but again, in the end the choice is not up to them. | ||

Don't two step around this like I'm making things up. 1) Forcing players to quit individual league for no other purpose other than to lessen schedule demands is gay. 2) SK Telecom T1's triple crown glory days wouldn't have been possible without Midas. Last year's Proleague triumph wouldn't have been possible without Bisu. Where would SK Telecom T1 be without its mercenaries I wonder. 3) Iloveoov loves to talk trash, and it was bad enough when he was a player (spawned the hatred between Samsung Khan and SK Telecom T1), but he continued that as a coach, someone who is basically one of the major voices of the team. He has no respect, and thinks he's all that. He isn't. 4) Remember how SK Telecom T1 wouldn't allow many of their players to have their games broadcasted on television when they were taking part in offline qualifications. That's gay. Strategic secrecy my ass. There were tons of fans watching just to see the games of their favourite players and I seem to recall only SK Telecom T1 doing this. I can't think of more, but I think I've explained myself clearly. | ||

Look, you're not getting what I said. SK Telecom T1 doesn't have legions of fans simply because SK Telecom T1 terrans play slightly differently from other teams. You don't have to prove yourself to me. Go ahead and enjoy the terrific terran lineage of the team. | ||

Have Effort and Hydra go is a lot different than Bisu, Fantasy, and Hyuk going. All three of SKT1's players are practicing to take down Effort, since if it goes to ace match, any of them could be picked. Effort is the only player of importance to that scale for CJ. I'm not saying that hydra is bad, but he isn't an ace match pick. | ||

My respect for CJ went up though. ^__^
