This is a very good point.
Although, to be fair, fans also want to see the best players in the biggest games.
Bisu v. Jaedong/Effort for the Proleague championship, anyone?
Of course they're going to send out Effort, he's their best chance of winning. Especially after JD lost against Orion, he's got to be shaken up at least a little.
Time to prepare myself mentally for a potential loss. At least, CJ has a better chance of taking out SK, at least JD will have time to fully prepare for his match against fantasy! .....Still don't feel any better :D

If it's Bisu v JD in super ace of finals, then my life would be complete.
