I think you mean there is no whine like post-whine aka (excuse-whine). The excuses that people come up with are often priceless.
The KeSPA players who don't win don't care
Well, to be fair they were literally forced to play in GSL. Kespa said they weren't going to send any players to the prelims for a few months, then GOM and ESF threw a fit and said they wouldn't participate in OSL unless Kespa players participated in GSL.
None of these players have a say in the matter. Kespa doesn't give 2 shits about GSL and I'm sure every team is focusing on SPL almost exclusively.
I'm not so sure about that, actually. Most of the KeSPA players definetly cared about OSL, and with that one being on hold indefinetly, I think GSL is worth a lot more to them than you'd initially think. Of course they were forced to play, but I reckon they were also forced to withdraw in the first place, since KeSPA calls all the shots. We'll probably never know for sure, but I'm fairly convinced that the KeSPA players care a lot more about GSL than their fans claim.
That's what I was saying what were you not sure about? I feel like we essentially said the same thing

Don't forget that he is sick. Also I want to mention that DRG, Hack and Bogus don't care about the games and want to hide strategies for more important tournaments.
Also Bogus doesn't care about GSL and Stephano is hangover .

I think there also some Kespa players who could make Code A who didn't even try and qualify this time. Correct me if I'm wrong but during an interview Jangbi said he wasn't going to this time because of Proleague, or if did he wouldn't really be practicing much for it because of time issues.

Jangbi tried to qualify but he lost to Crazy-Hydra in the finals 2-1

It's not what the fans claim it's what the players claim. In their interviews they always mention SPL as their main priority.
I won't say that they don't care for it, they just don't have enough time to practice for both. Two almost completely different map pools. You'd be surprised how incredibly hard it would be to practice for both. That's like 12 different maps vs 3 races a piece. That's a load.

They are going to some esports expo in Taiwan or something. Khaldor is in Germany. Wolf is the only GOM Caster available. I'll just edit it into the OP so people know

You think someone on a team is going to openly say "I don't care about team leagues, I only care about my individual success?"

No but whenever OSL is around the players clearly state how important it is to them. The same isn't said about GSL.

You overestimate nap pools dude. NesTea picked Icarus today and he said he never played on it. Yea he lost but for him to even pick it....

None of this matters. A win is a win. We look at the ELO chart. Simple as that.
So this group is probably the most stacked one, can't wait to see the games. I feel like Hack has a good chance against DRG on Cloud Kingdom, so we will see. This group will deliver for sure
EPT
what were you not sure about? I feel like we essentially said the same thing 
theres no big tournament this weekend or???
