IMO kinda disresepctful by the Korean players to accept invites to tournaments without trying to book travel months in advance... I guess due to the randomness of GSL schedule. Unfortunate, though - something will definitely have to change. Neither sound nor fruitdealer are in the gsl anymore, so whatever the reason is that they have accepted the invite and cannot participate now, it is definitely not because of the gsl. | ||

It's not like there was a tournament in New York recently, which paid for players travel/accomodation? And it was PPV for that reason? And it was given shit from people? So newsflash, they paid for players travel and players were able to play. IEM didn't and what a surprise - players are not able to come because their teams don't have money. | ||

People should think about it a little deeper before they castrate management. Think for a second, who provides funding for players to attend events? That's abit alarming too, if their finances is so unstable so that they don't know if they can afford him going until a few days(or a day?) before. I hope ESL can get a bit assurances in the future whether the Koreans actually can go or not. | ||

Technically that's wrong. Code A qualifers are this weekend, it would be very tough to make it back for a Code A hopeful like Sound (who's already missed one shot iirc by going to hsc4) if not outright impossible. Doubt that would be a reason for such a late cancellation though. FD is just a LoL player now so his absence isn't surprising (and was known for much longer) | ||

Stop making a big deal out of things. "4 players cancel IEM is going under noooes." | ||

He told him he would skype him like one/two hours ago, that's not being informed for quite some time, unfortunately. Actually, I have been speaking with Carmac since last week regarding the StarTale players. Awaiting confirmation from Korea. | ||

RotterdaM08 (Kevin van der Kooi) Sound unfortunately couldn't make it to the #IEM, @followgrubby will replace him. This means 5P+Nerchi. This also means Elfi wins the group. | ||
