The OnGameNet Star Challenge (OSL Qualifiers) Group D match, originally scheduled for Nov 14, has been postponed to Dec 5.
OnGameNet has accepted SKT T1's request to postpone the scheduled matches in light of the passing of Midas' father.
OGN will not move any of the other scheduled groups, to minimize scheduling confusion for players in other groups.
Thus, there will be no matches played on the 14th. Group E will play on the 21st, and Group F will play on the 28th, as scheduled.

Group D:
Shark < Fantasy II > Midas
XellOs < Fantasy II > Anytime
Winners < Katrina >
Losers < Katrina >
Final < Blue Storm >

Don't know, but no live matches, that's for sure.
Reruns?

Probably, do they have a OSL re-wind type thing?
This is so sad also, Midas already has the stress of a progamer and now his father has passed.. I hope he will win or do something recognizable in his future games, Midas fighting!

It makes sense for everybody.
Even the opposing players... I mean, Shark, Xellos, and Anytime don't want to play Midas who is two days removed from his father's wake. The fans wouldn't want to watch either.
Just the right thing to do. Still, glad to see the decision being made.

gold decision by OGN!
but i want Anytime to win.

That's very understanding of OGN.
This never happens for pro sports that I know of, but OGN is willing to disrupt their schedule for the sake of one player.

Well I guess its nice of OGN but I reallly wanted to Anytime play..

It's nice of OGN and of the players to accept this, but really the group should be played as scheduled. All three other players were practicing too, and yes Midas' situation sucks but it's just a more extreme version of "extenuating circumstances."
I agree there are many reasons, some compelling, that OGN would want to postpone this. But if Progaming is a real sport it should be treated as such, they'd never stop NBA playoffs or a Tennis tournament match because someone's family died. Midas can either withdraw from the group or play, those are his only options really.
Very nice of OGN and the other players to accept this.

Considering there are still less than 300 progamers with Midas being in the top handful, I think they can easily allow 1 hold. Plus, these are kids we are dealing with here too, a lot of them anyways.

Now Midas has to pull a NaDa and crush people in his father's name.
Minus that yearlong slump in between the death and the crushing.

Though I agree with this mostly, I find it more understandable since most other professional sports are not played mainly by underage players. It is arguable much more difficult for a teenager to be going through something such as this than it would be for someone well into their twenties.

Right. Midas and co. are not Brett Favre.
