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.
Well, obviously if there was a valid excuse to not attend the opening ceremony that would be fine.
But from the looks of it.. it was just a no show.

Sounds sorta similar to how Kespa banned boxer, nada, and the rest of the old BW pros from pro matches for three years after they forfeited their progamer status to play sc2. 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
IIRC it should be. I might have the lengths wrong, but I thought it was standard for someone who gave up their pro license to not be able to apply for it again for a few years.

When you think about it, had Rain given some kind of notice about his leaving, GOM could've worked out a miniature tournament for the Code S spot (like the Code S wildcard we had when NEXLiveForever went into the military) or even awarded MMA with the Code S spot because of his MLG win and Super Tourney 2nd place spot.
Oh well, I'm sure Rain doesn't really care anyways
|
If Rain had given GOM fair warning (1 week+), they could have made arrangements for another player to replace him. Instead you have less than 24 hours to discuss and potentially make a mistake.

Silly Rain even if he's moving to the US should have taken the payday, he could have just lost his ro32 games and still gotten paid then moved or worse case he wins a game postpones moving a few days and gets a bigger payday

You have an interesting definition for "integrity."

I think it's fair they took action. But I also think rain needed to remember when it was and not text them the day of to say he wasn't going to be competing.

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.
Now that all foreign tournaments are filled with high calibre Koreans, he has 0 chance of ever winning too. Winning Go4SC2 may not be too hard for him though. GL

I don't think Rain cares. I don't think GOM cares. but they don't want to be screwed with so they banned Rain Thor style. (odin banishes thor to earth).
|
This seems pretty fair. Rain didn't handle it well, acknowledged it, and Gom decided to not be overly harsh in the punishment. Things wound up being handled well in the end with a distinct lack of drama. Well done.
Guys, do we really need a forum freakout over this when everyone involved in the actual incident brought it to a professional end?

It is fair. He just fucked up the Code S group A...
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.
No, the situation was the same with Idra. Later Polt won the spot. Actually rain told he was leaving earlier than Idra did. Idra was at the group selection but Rain wasn't even there.

I wonder if Gom would be doing this if Rain wasn't leaving their tourny to make more money elsewhere with greater odds. I guess it could also be said that if he wasn't leaving he probably wouldn't have missed the ceremony either.
Shame that July got fucked by this.
|
I guess GomTV is unhappy since it left them no time to prepare the customary montage for whenever a Code S player leaves Korea.
But 2 seasons is pretty short and it's not really going to hurt Rain if he's voluntarily dropping out already.
That said, Gom is probably pissed off that he broke up by text. At least have the courtesy to call!

Please read the thread before posting dude, it is only 5 pages long.

I agree with this, he screwed up. I guess it doesnt matter so much because hes moving to the states.
Im really surprised he left TSL and GSL code s though, between the 2 of them he was making some serious paper. Salary from TSL probably around 25k a year(speculation, but in terms of results he was the second best, i know FD and tester where payed the most im assuming he was third highest payed though) then at minimum 1400 (round of 32) for gsl code s. That is a very decent salary for a progamer , im surprised he would leave that all behind.

That's probably an administrative punishment anyway, he certainly has broken some rule that induce a 2 years ban and the medias are making some headlines about it to generate drama.
it's not 2 years, it's 2 seasons.

They knew idra was leaving when he was at group selection, he still had to show up for it though. He has said that he had been talking about it with gom for a while prior to that.

Now he just has an excuse to go to foreign tournaments!
