F*CK YEAH. So hype. It'll be tough for Rain to come out of the open-bracket with jet lag and win (especially with this probably being his first trip to USA and experience playing a tournament in these conditions) but I'm interested in seeing how he does.

It will be very interesting to see how Rain handles MLG's format. People forget when they think about these proleague players coming over for something like MLG. They don't get a week to prepare for one opponent.

Let's go MC!

edit: Glad to see ToD also in the open bracket, that makes me quite happy. Would love for some miracle to happen and see Grubby vs ToD at some point

This event is fucking stacked. Really looking forward to watching now. Flash, Rain, MC, Taeja, Leenock, Life and some of the best foreigners. Ermahgerd. Anyone know if there will be a free stream?

That would be interesting. I pity the poor souls who have to face him 1st round in the open bracket.

I am so psyched for this weekend! Watching Rain play is really incredible, and having MC and Polt join the fray is fantastic as well.

And to kick it all off is one of my most anticipated matches, Flash vs Grubby!!

Sun definitely has the stamina to play the open bracket.
These Kespa players have a grueling 12 hours practice regimen everyday.

The only problem is jetlag( which is quite painful) that can affected your gameplay.
If he is flown to US a couple of days prior the tournament and has time to adjust to the timezone over there, then he will fine but that does not seem to be the case.

Jetlag can hit you pretty hard if you experienced it before.

Rain doesn't give a fuck about jet lag.

He wants ALL the titles.

He ? More like SKT.T1 management. He may have expressed a wish to participate and with him being a star in the making, that wish was granted. I doubt Bisu would have been granted the same wish though ...

It's $25k for winning a couple of days tournament... of course Rain wants a go! I think he *should* be ok with the format because he's just always super careful and standard anyway. Jetlag may be an issue - but even a jetlagged Rain is too good for 99.99% of players.
