From a business standpoint, going to MLG is logical but somewhat risky because if Rain gets taken out during the Open Bracket, it would be really embarrassing for both Kespa and SKT. Kespa is already sending 4 guys to MLG, Flash included. They will be the talk of the town regardless of Rain being there or not. | ||

Stephano always has the decency to decline. Yes, people with bad moral and professional character are treated differently. More news at eleven. | ||

Rain just won OSL, a tournament of mixed Kespa and ESF players, so he is the current best player. By leaving GSL he makes GSL look less legitimate than the OSL. then why not pull out all the players? why not say he wont play his Code A match either? No one actually thinks GSL is less legitimate than OSL. Even Kespa players know they are still behind overall. They've even said so. | ||

No one actually thinks GSL is less legitimate than OSL. Even Kespa players know they are still behind overall. They've even said so. The saddest part is that Rain himself is definitely f'd. He's most likely getting f'd at MLG too. And objectively right now he might be the best SC2 player, but these political games would sacrifice him for the greater goal. | ||
