Generally with plane tickets, you're able to change the flights without an issue for most airlines. what airlines are those? You usually have to pay quite a bit to change flights, especially last minute like this. | ||

You usually have to pay quite a bit to change flights, especially last minute like this. buisnesses usually have a bit more leeway than private people. Not sure how many tickets a year MLG bought, but for example the buisness where i work usually buys around 200 tickets from vienna to brussels a year. About 50 of those need to be moved 1-2 days around at last minute. As long as the airline has the room to move us they usually have no problem, we pay about 30$ administration fees for the booking change. Obviously the situation isn't perfectly comparable, Vienna-brussels is 6 flights a day route and almost none of them are fully booked. MLG probably had to pay some kind of fee to get the new tickets, but it shouldn't be in the thousands of dollars range. | ||

In any case, good move by MLG! I'm sure you won some points with the koreans. | ||

It's not the first time this kinda stuff happens and it's not like it would be difficult for them to take better care of their players by just scheduling accordingly. In any case, good move by MLG! I'm sure you won some points with the koreans. I don't understand how you can blame GSL for all of this. They had everyday of 2012 planned for what match was going to be shown that day. It's neither tournaments fault. | ||

It's not like they're a large company. | ||

WTF? Assembly isn't on when MLG is on, and vice versa. How does that affect the viewers? | ||
