i think they should give DRG rain's up/down spot, since he won the LG 3D tournament, like how Ace was given Idra's up/down spot when he left.

Still don't understand why he left GSL. Seriously no reason, Code S man... seriously

When Idra leaved, there was a mini tourney to take his empty place. They certainly wanted to do it again, but it seems there was too late.


WRONG
the mini tournament that polt won was because someone else not could play in
Idra just got BYE BYE and not got suspended !
plz keep correct

The reason for the suspension was because his forfeit was very abrupt (I believe he TEXTED them on the day of the group-picking-show-thing, didn't even call them) and just very unprofessional overall. Makes sense if you ask me...

Hmm, that's odd, getting suspended for 2 seasons for just not attending the ceremony.

How strict are they? What if someone has a really valid reason for not attending, such as sickness?

This makes me really confused. Gonna do some research.


Other players were at dreamhack, they didn't get punished. I'm assuming he's getting singled out because he didn't tell them ahead of time.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

Fair enough.. When is Rain moving to the US anyway? I mean, if he hasnt already i dont see why he wouldn't just play his code s matches.. Don't all code s players get a pay out, even group stage losers?

From memory it was pretty small, but if he hasnt moved yet, i dont see why he needed to just quit GSL instantly..

They also should have given MVP back his Code-S spot after winning the World Championship, but they didn't.

The punishment made for a boring series last night. Who knows though if he even had the intentions of showing up even if he wasn't punished.

No, just simply no, We found out about idra leaving after the group selection right before the match, however idra clarified that he informed gom prior to that, at least a week i think

This is merely to establish precedent, it actually doesn't matter whether he "deserved it" or not. Rain had no intention of returning to Code S in the next two seasons, so it holds little impact on him. GOM knows this, Rain knows this, FnaticMSI knows this. Instead, it more lays out a stance for GOM to point back to the next time someone pulls a similar stunt and no one can say "Well Rain got away with it, why can't I?"

Necessary action, regardless of the direct impact it has. It sets a minimum baseline for them to fall back on.

There were no vacancies because no one dropped out then. There was one when Idra dropped out and Ace conveniently won IEM. Now there is also another vacancy because Rain has dropped off.

But an argument could also be made for MMA to get the Up/Down spot because he won MLG, and all the MLG Code A seeds are going in August. Also I highly doubt that the winner of MLG Anaheim will be able to prepare to go to Code S in August in time unless they're Korean (Anaheim is only 1 week before GSL August), so it's very possible MMA might end up taking the Code S seed. Pure speculation though.

The bigger implication is if Fnatic ever wants to do anything with GSL in the future. Rain will be one of Fnatic's top performers, and he just left the GSL with no warning.

Sure, it might not be a direct problem since they probably won't be doing anything there in two seasons, but GSL is expanding out of Korea. They already teamed up with MLG. You would think they'd be looking to expand to Europe and other regions as well.


Business is about relationships. Rain just basically burned all his bridges with one of the big players in eSports. That's bad business for him and for Fnatic. It would have been in everyone's best interest to keep good ties.

I just checked and you're right. The wildcard was for LiveForever's spot. Anyways, this wildcard was oraganised beause LiveForever announced it early enough.

2 season of suspension so he will be out of code S (this season) and not participate in code A (next season) and dropped to code B

but is that mean they will give an extra spot for code A next season or just leave it as bye like this season code S ?

2 Seasons is quite mild when you think about it, it's just ~4 months.

It's hard to say anything without knowing what's in the GSL contract regarding notification of absence, etc.

Classic gomtv, trying to get the monopoly and if things don't go their way punish players for their mistakes.

In fact gom was the one acting unprofessionally, not rain.

like he gives a flying fuck. he gets to compete in all the foreign tournaments now instead of being held down by a tournament he has 0 chance of ever winning.
