The players themselves didn't even know until it was too late. Sounds more like GSL not supporting/taking into account that players have other tournaments than the GSL. Anyway, good job by MLG. They sent the message to players that they'll support them in any way necessary to make their participation at MLG easy and risk free. | ||

Generally with plane tickets, you're able to change the flights without an issue for most airlines. This, and I would believe that MLG goes about it in some way to obtain flight points as a business, especially since they are now flying players in to compete. | ||

TheStC and MVP both dropping "Round 2" and "Round 3", then Leenock follows the lead and drop "Round 3" and "Round 4". | ||

We had to book 4 new flights. Problem solved. Players made it home and will get to play in GSL, so everyone wins. It is just a shame that the players experienced such high stress over the situation. | ||

Well you know, the players could have told the GSL to go to hell. Oh wait it's way higher on their priorities than MLG is. This only ensured that the players will actually turn up for MLG, which they'd already charged people for. They did what they had to, not hating or anything. | ||

MLG could have got out of it scott free, the palyers were already AT MLG its not like they had the option of returning to Korea early without there help, if anyone dropped the ball here its GOM | ||

I don't know how the information is passed between MLG and GSL. | ||

To put it into perspective I just checked with a 2 day notice (March 1st), I could find a $640.00 ticket (this is before booking fees so this could easily go up to $700. And this is the LONGEST CHEAPEST flight plan. 640x4 (and i'm guessing they actually spent more) - great effort and accomodation by MLG. | ||

However, Assembly started at 4 (or 3..can't remember) am for me, and MLG starts at 2 pm..I am not including the warm up stuff they do. So, not much overlap at all really. Maybe a couple hours if Assembly runs late MLG is held in US and Assembly in Europe, on the same weekend, so players had to choose which one to attend. To be clear, I don't know who scheduled their event first or why there was an overlap between the two, but I don't think either of them would've done it to screw the other. They all probably had good reasons to do so, although people wearing tinfoil hat might disagree with me. | ||

I guess the whole MLG/GSL partnership with spots in code s etc. helped mlg to do this for the players because that is really awesome. I'm surprised GSL wouldn't reschedule the code A games because they have moved them around for players in the past for MLG and other tourneys. It makes me wonder if the GSL/MLG partnership has soured since the naniwa incident as this was the first MLG since then and now you see GSL being uncooperative here with MLG. Makes a person go hmmmmm. I could see some angry meetings behind closed doors after GSL said naniwa's code S seed was only for consideration and not guaranteed, then MLG comes out and says they thought otherwise and GSL got a lot of hate. They might be mad MLG didn't back them up there. | ||

The times when they play is auctally known the day the players play their previous match. Its been that way since the beginning of the season, every day is planned out in advance, the players should have known the dates in which they could play were the tuesday, or thursday. It should have been the players who told gom to make sure they didn't have anything booked on the days when they would be out of the country. Since they didn't know, it was more of less the players fault for not checking the GSL calender, or else they would know they could play on those 2 dates, one of which would mean they would be playing on the date they would be arriving home, which isn't right at all. so don't blame MLG or GOM for this really. this was clear non-communication by the players, and they really didn't have enough clear foresight to check their dates when they would be playing their matches beforehand. | ||

They immediately informed us, and we began trying to work things out. Article Link Are people even reading this paragraph? The players were not informed of their schedules for Code A until they landed in New York. Good job to MLG for helping to fix the problem. | ||
