SKT1 said Rainbow could come back. Obviously I think the player count system is too tight (based off the little information presented), but SKT's rules are SKT's rules and I don't see why there's reason for outrage about them. It's not like it's a permanent or indefinite demotion or something. Rainbow's suffering consequences for his actions and will be able to come back.

As for Yooi, I think it's cool that he's going into commentating. He seems like a good guy and I'm glad he found something to do that he'll be able to shine in.

Darkelf vs Oov @ Monty Hall is like the new Yooi vs Nada @ Gaema.

Rainbow hasn't achieved much in a long time, either this will make him quit or hopefully it will inspire him to do something good. More likely the former

wait there was a battle report for this match? or did you start watching vods?

This was well over a year ago and it wasn't that big of a deal, so I may be remembering this wrong, but basically the SK Telecom coach was upset after Yooi nuked Boxer and said that it was a hateful thing to do because he had already won the game. He said that it was bad mannered to do something like that, especially since a lot of the fans go out of their way to go watch Boxer play and that it wasn't fair to them. The Soul coach and Yooi both said that there wasn't any ill intent behind the nuke and that Yooi only did it because the circumstances allowed it. Then all the Korean fans started mentioning how nobody complains about bad manners when OOv makes way more units than is necessary even when he's already won or when Canata makes Battlecruisers in team games or whatever the hell the other SKT T1 players do. I think the SK coach apologized and then it was forgotten.

There was a little more to it.

I don't remember Oov nuking Yooi, but the controversy was that SKT1 Manager's argument was that Yooi should not have embarrassed an older veteran like that when he had such a huge advantage, and should have just beat him regularily instead of playing around with him and ending it with a nuke. Then the fans were saying "Isn't that the same thing when Oov killed JJu with mass ghosts? How could you call Yooi bm when Oov did the same thing". This was referring to a PL match between SKT1 and KHAN, when Oov had JJu beat and could have ended it easily, but instead used mass ghosts to kill JJu.

The second point was that SKT1 manager said in his FiFo interview that Yooi better watch out next time because he would not forgive him... or something like that. It wasn't a direct threat of course, but it had a malice tone to it that stirred up anger from the community for such unprofessional words. SKT1 coach made a public apology afterwards.

I feel bad for these washed up legends, sc is a short career they really should be retiring by now and thinking about what to do for the next 2/3 of their lives. However for the few ones like Xellos and rA who have the determination to still practice as hard and have success in the leagues, extra respect to them.

LOL. Rainbow is so cool.
Sneaks out for Beyonce... LOL.

And I don't mind he's online practice partner. I was 3x happier to hear he could return to A-team due to skill increase. Rainbow was never a monster, but seeing a good Rainbow game is truly special.

Agreed with this completely.

Haha, Yooi who? :p He has to be one of the most uknown pros/terrans ever. (I know who he is you schmuck ^^)

I hope he does good as a commentator though!

Regarding intotherainbow, I really don't care

He hasn't been in individual leagues for ages and is no of significant importance to me.

i do agree with the punishment. if i were a skt1 progamer i would have never failed with any rule, specially in the actual skt1 situation, the last poor performances on the starleague before the skt1 vs ogn game.
