I do think there should be some sort of punishment for not showing up though.. It's a respectable tournament, and even though having the coaches choose the players is an easy method of inviting players, having players skip out, whether it's the coaches fault or not, deserves at least a suspension or something. If the coaches are actually the biggest part of the problem, then maybe you should get a Korean to invite the Koreans directly or something.
Even though it's a high caliber tournament, it feels much less important that it really is when people don't respect it.

Well don't forget there is a lot of things at play. Take example if a team signs up a player days in advance (which we encourage) and the player is sick. He should be punished for being sick? What if they had any one of 14,500 possible real life emergencies or situations that they did not have days before.

Now obviously there are more walkovers then people that could happen to be sick, but the point is stuff comes up. Hopefully soon we will be using a bracket system that allows for check ins, but currently we are not. I don't think punishing for missing in a $200 weekly (even if it feeds into bigger things) is fair in any way and even more so since no weekly out there does it.

I'm not getting in the business of punishing players for everything possible. I only want to punish in rare scenarios (CoCa/Byun) and in others I work with the players to try and help them understand why they should do things like this. For example in a recent weekly two same team players were going to have one forfeit because they did not want to play a teammate. I pulled them aside and explained in particular since CoCa/Byun that NA fans would frown upon this and did not like. When explained this, they said "no problem" and played the series (played it out 100% too, great series at that) and now they understand why not to do that in the future.

Let's not jump on punishing everyone for everything, it's just p[art of the growing phase.

I think Shinta, like all of us are just really surprised as to the consistent, or even growing number of players who drop every week. It feels like every time there is a weekly, there are going to be close to 10 people dropping. Which is quite strange if you factor in the fact that this prize money/fame does mean A LOT to koreans.
btw: you should ask day9 if he wants to cast.

Oh wow, this is going to be great. Shame the times are still bad for EU, but I guess they're always going to be bad for somebody.

The Korean Weekly Season 2 Week 1 may be the single most stacked online tournament ever, if not easily Top 3. OMG this player list is absurd!
