Shouldn't there be some sort of penalty for forfeiting so late? Rain represents 25% of the players playing tonight, and potentially more of the games. There has to be something to deal with this...

Well that sucks since MLG is by far the worst quality-wise out of those 2 leagues.

Makes sense to me, if GSL only got the schedule the day after they announced their own and couldn't accomodate a reschedule for one player, it seems fair enough that Rain get dropped to Code A for going to another tournament, his choice or not.

GSL have taken the right course of action to ask for teams to deliver their players' schedules before they make the group announcements. Hopefully this will lead to better co-operation in the future.

$1300 guaranteed from Ro32

I wonder if he'll still get that. I hope not. Would be funny if he doesn't make it to the money in MLG and costs himself at least $1300.

can't really blame him considering how well he's been playing. mlg has a better chance of getting money but less glory.

Bad decision from Rain imo. Now if he misses out on any money at MLG and gets a tough matchup in Code A (there's this guy called Flash, for instance), it may be a very costly decision for Rain...

To be honest, it could have been either, but I'd lean towards Rain wanting to go to Dallas. For Code S he stays in Korea and will continue to do as he has been training. But now given the chance to go to MLG, he can travel all the way to the US, meet new people, fans, and culture that most Koreans probably brought home positive and very exciting news. Either way, Rain is going to make a storm wherever he goes.

It's funny everyone is assuming this is money-related. Not sure if people are just used to SC2 players being money-hunters or something...

While it doesn't matter the reason he goes, if he knew ahead of time then he should have informed GOM long before the point that he did. I wonder when his plane tickets were purchased.

Isn't Boxer the head coach of SKT1 now? Part of the decision for Rain's actions should also be Boxer's responsibilities.

Seriously doubt coaches deal with this kind of thing. That's what managers are for.

Wow, the TL community makes me LOL

Watch now as people start to email MLG and KESPA sponsors like it's there right.
Seriously, there's been a conflict in his schedule.

Fuck. Just noticed this now, had been the only reason I'd been staying up for GSL. At least I get a nap now

Hopefully he can tear up MLG
