On the topic of Koreans Jet Lag
I don't think anyone can argue whether or not they are suffering from some sort of Jet Lag. Anyone who has traveled 10+ hours on a plane can attest to the mental exhaustion it can cause. In addition nutrition/diet is a huge factor in how your body responds to the trip. I wonder how they prepared for this. That being said... Jet Lag is not a reasonable excuse to cite in any of these losses because all players volunteered for it. coming to the MLG was a huge opportunity for each of them ( whether it be CODE S possibility or just fan exposure which I think most would say MC is after). They knowingly decided it was worth the trip ( and its side affects) to play in America in front of an amazing audience and fans. As it has been stated multiple times, jet lag is nothing new. To cite it as the only reason X player would ever lose to Y is just taking away from the value of the production, not to mention ESPORTS as a whole. A player losing who has an enormous amount of skill such as MC or a Nestea etc. of course has multiple factors influencing his game play. Current state of the mind, wellness, timing etc. all factor into the various important parts of the game.Give credit where credit is due and move on. I promise you are promoting nothing but negativity to the game by all this QQ even if it has some merit. Let's get over these factors and enjoy a great product.
