It is with great sadness that we bring to the public's attention that SaSe will not be attending MLG due to his hectic tournament schedule. We will greatly miss him at Providence and look forward to sending him on the circuit next season. He released a statement for his fans and he sends his regrets:

Hi everyone!
Last days I have been thinking so much about what to do with my upcoming events. When I got to know I play JYP in GSL on the 14th of November I realized I would have to play three tournaments in three different countries in three different time zones, in 10 days! I feel so sad and sorry to let you guys know this but I have chosen to turn down MLG. I feel like my stamina and my lowest skill level is not good enough to perform well at all these events. MLG is a super nice event and MLG Orlando was the event I have enjoyed the most in my Star Craft II career but GSL and Dream Hack are great events as well.

GSL has been my dream to win ever since I started Star Craft II. I haven’t done well in GSL and I would probably have a bigger chance to do well in MLG than GSL. But GSL to me is the hardest tournament in the world and that's where I wanna do my best. Dream Hack is not as hard as either MLG or GSL. But it's in Sweden! Lately I have gotten so much support from the Swedish community and I really feel like I wanna give something back to them. Also I want to see my mother, brother and sister. ^.^v

Once again sorry to all you fans(friends) who were expecting to see me in Providence. It was so nice to see so many of you at Orlando and it felt like the golden days of WarCraft III, but it's outside Asia, so awesome! I promise to make up for you next year! You will be missed! Much love from me to you!
// Your SaSe

Completely understand his decision. We've seen with HuK how much travelling & hectic scheduling can affect your play. Good luck in the GSL & DH.

Thats unfortunate however i don't blame him. I would choose those tournaments as well. 3 Tournaments in 10 days in different continents is tough. SaSe fighting~

Nice, I'm glad that he took the time to communicate his reasons to the community as well. It's refreshing to avoid needless speculation. Go SaSe!

Awe...

That sucks. I was really looking forward to hearing the Cheer Cannon again.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Glad to see he is putting his mental and physical states ahead of everything else, so he can show off how awesome he actually is when he does play in Dreamhack and GSL =)

Good decision. Open bracket at Providence is not gonna be pleasant. GL HF SaSe

Sad but smart decision, better miss a tournament than burn out because of jetlag like Huk did after DreamHack/HSC

Can't really fault him for wanting to stay in Korea for the GSL, as well as heading home to Sweden for DreamHack. Obisouly nothing against MLG, it's just unfortunate timing :/ GOGO SaSe HWAITING!
