Today's Code S matches were a farce, and Rain is part of the reason for that. Yeah i mad. | ||

I don't think screwing up the groups is a valid argument for this. It has happened a couple times before and there was no punishment. Not letting them know he's not gonna be there a few days earlier is bad though. If rain let GOM knew a few days earlier they may have been able to fill in the empty spot, just like how Idra left Code S. They did not fill Idra's spot when he left until the up/down portion. His group was given free wins just like Rain's was. | ||

But it doesn't affect him, one doesn't give up a Code S spot for nothing ![]() | ||

If it is like with Idra, they'll give him his spot in the up-and-down matches. I think moon got Idra's up-and-down place due to his performance in whatever tournament that was. | ||

Theres some rule, GOM has to enforce it, both parties understand it, and it probably wont make a difference in the long run. Is that still in effect? Thought it would be lifted since Kespa and Blizz are cool now | ||

They certainly wanted to do it again, but it seems there was too late. Actually Idra's spot in code S was left empty, like with Rain's spot, but the spot in up/down matches was given to the winner of the IEM World Championship (since the 4 people left in IEM at that time all were players that were knocked out in Code A RO32). If they'll do something similar this time with his spot in up/down we'll have to wait and see. | ||

They can't just arbitrary choose a player, because all of you who are arguing that would still argue that they didn't choose the right player, that their criteria are stupid or whatever. There's just no way to take a fair decision. | ||

I'm sure the other player who were overseas, HuK, MC etc had informed GSL of their trip. This is a good punishment for Rain, its a temp 2 season ban, not a perm ban or shit. | ||
