OGN "bend around them" because they have an all-important playoff match on Saturday, for which they had very short notice on the map order. They decided not to send their players, and OGN changed the date for the best of all parties involved. For me that's the best possible solution, both for the teams and for the fans. | ||

For anyone else who thinks this is SKT getting their way unfairly: The first and foremost mistake was the maps being distributed for only 2 days of practice. As BW fans it is better for us to have this OSL ceremony delayed so all teams will have ample practice in addition to equal practice time. Again, it doesn't matter that SKT was the one who made the decision to withdraw. Any other team with 3 OSL qualifiers would have probably done the same. You can replace SKT with any other team and it still makes sense. Both SKT and the OSL people who decided to reverse their decision should be applauded. This is a win-win.

So then if next week, we will see the winners of SKT/CJ and WMF/MBC decide to pull their players out because of that playoff match? Probably. Ridiculous how OGN have succumbed to a silly move from SKT. EDIT: Never mind, I just realised they moved it to a Wednesday. Still.... | ||

Also, the day the maps are released highly matters. And as Ack noted, SKT1 has their three best players (at the moment) in that group selection. | ||

CJ has Effort and Hydra, WMF and MBC both have one. I don't know why you are grouping players together from different teams to get 5. <--- lol If SKT loses their important match [ in regards to rankings ] do you really think that's fair, as a fan of SC progaming that they are punished for having 3 of their team qualify for an OSL. What if CJ had 4 qualifying players and their next match could decide whether they advance in proleague or not...would you really say its fair then? This should be a no-brainer. | ||

Anyway I'm done with the topic and happy how this turned out. It's rare in progaming to see organizers do the right thing given an unforeseen circumstance. On another note, the team fanboyism on this site is really disgusting. Who gives a fuck what team it is, try to use logic some time. If it was CJ doing this, lots of people in this thread and the other one wouldn't be saying anything or defending CJ to the death. Writer's bias is really apparent on TL. | ||

As for the issue/resolution, everything seems pretty fair. They are covering an unpredicted problem, without causing that much of a hassle. I'm sure if it was that big of an issue with the other teams, another solution would have been found. | ||

Calm down guys, OGN states that they delayed ceremony because of bad timing with proleague PO, NOT because of SKT. | ||

There is no doubt denying however SKT's press release was the major factor in their decision. If it were really because of the PL Playoffs, they would have announced this on Wednesday or something, not 24 hours before the initially scheduled date. | ||

But I seriously think this is the best decision for every side, I don't care that the ceremony got delayed, if that is going to let us see better games in PO, so be it. | ||

You took a day off from work and filled the fridge with beer for the group ceremony ? Why are you so frustrated. The decision is just common sense | ||

Seriously, it's just a ceremony. Moving the ceremony to another day so that players from ALL teams can prepare better for the play-offs is a brilliant move. It's done for the sake of every player who will participate in the first round of the play-offs, not just T1's. So yea like someone mentioned above, T1 has basically done CJ (as well as FOX and MBC) a favor. | ||

We know the major reason why it was changed: SKT pulled out from the ceremony, and CJ stated "OGN scheduling something like the group ceremony right before PO is just BS" Although, it does say that OGN contacted every single team about the rescheduling, so I don't see additional problems here, besides bashing at SKT1. | ||

well i'm glad that they resolved the issue. Yes it may have been a lame move by SKT, but the fact that the date changed saved a lot of hours of practice for not just SKT, but also CJ and whatever other teams are gonna be playing between that time. | ||

If you accept that the original schedule was bad planning by OGN, and that changing the schedule was a good decision by OGN - then wouldn't the move that prompted this change of decision be a good decision too? Plus I like that SKT is willing to stick its neck out to get a reasonable practice time for its players to show top games (and of course for the team to perform well during the playoffs). | ||

I assure you, if this happens to some other team, I'll join the bandwagon to bash at that team too just because you ignorant people bashed at T1 to knock some sense out of ya. | ||

SKT1 already said that they would agree to whatever groups OGN put them in. Should have left it at that. I understand and sympathize for reasoning behind the move but schedules are always tight in SC for top players. | ||

Wemade has Baby, Shine, Roro, Mind, and Midas. MBC has Light, Hyun, Pusan, Saint, and Tyson. All these guys can snipe shit up, and they dont have group selections. SKT has 3 players, all of them could be targets for sniping, Best, who could also be a target for sniping, and 3 lolzergs. And you want them to skip a day (out of the available 2) to do this? | ||

I'm more likely to do photoshoots if they dress up, but since OGN has been boring c*nts for the last two seasons videos are way more likely. I'll try and do as many people who haven't been done as possible. | ||
