Well no I suppose not, but the conspiracy theorist in me likes the idea.
Good job MLG! This was much needed positive PR for you.

And sure GSL has things set up all year, but the games arent made until they are needed. I would have just shuffled the players games around to accomodate everybody. | ||

They didn't know the exact date they would be playing until today. This is all GSL's fault imo. I don't think MLG should be paying the price. MLG is going to lose a big amount of coverage, and changing flights will cost MLG a lot of extra money too. Yes, MLG should pay for this. The reason is simple, MLG is a much less important tournament. It's a bit like if you invited Messi to play in your neighborhood team and then he had to cancel because of Champions League. Obviously a bit exaggerated but the fundamentals are still there. The Koreans are basically doing MLG a favor by coming there. | ||

MLG did everything they could to avoid this and GSL picks a early date for the matches when they could of picked a later date. This is GSL's fault not MLG.... It is just disrespectful, with a company you have a partnership with. | ||

In my opinion its the player responsability to make sure the events he chooses to participate dont conflict with each other... They didnt.. Well, nice move by MLG! | ||

MLG is being very generous to pay for these flights so that the players don't miss their GSL matches.The Koreans are basically doing MLG a favor by coming there. | ||

Then why are so many Koreans trying to land on foreign teams and get out of the stagnating professional SC2 scene in Korea? ONE TOURNAMENT that's HARD doesn't counteract the fact that these guys have the capability to win all the money of the foreign tournaments without winning a single GSL...and still have more money and prestige after the fact. | ||
