Maybe Rain prefers to play in a foreign tournament, kespa players don't have a lot of experience outside of Korea.

We will see.

Life chances to win just got higher after Sun forfeited his Code S spot.

They could, but that would be the stupidest thing ever: "hey, you screwed us over by not telling us your schedule. But welcome back to code s!"

For his level of play, of course Sun can easily beat the open bracket.

The problem people in this thread is discussing why didn't Sun/SKT T1 informed GOM earlier about this decision.

Why would you give up a code S spot to participate from open bracket in MLG? o _ o echo'ing 17 pages of sentiments....

very fishy. I hope we can hear from rain soon.
If we fear what we do not understand, then why is ignorance bliss?

Hopefully, he'll survive Code A and will be in Code S by next season. Either that or he receives a seed.


If Rain fails to secure Code S for next season through Code A/Up&Downs I don't see any way of him receiving a sponsor seed after forfeiting his spot this season.


Unless he takes MLG. Still, winning from the open bracket? I hope he pulls a Leenock to justify his decision to completely ditch Code S.


Even if he wins OSL, WCS Global Finals and somehow wins a Nobel Prize, giving a sponsored seed to a player who FORFEITED THE RIGHT to be in Code S should not happen.

He was offered a seed for season 5.. in which he participated. If he decides to forfeit the upcoming season. that's his decision .
You can't say since we gave him a seed.. now he belongs to us forever . . .
That's retarded.
For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.

Because he's young and he wants to jump on the chance to travel overseas and meet lots of foreign fans. Probably especially after hearing stories from his fellow KeSPA players as to how awesome western fans are.

How does Rain forfeiting his Code S spot benefit Kespa at all btw? Less exposure for them. Less chance to win with their best player out of the tournament.
Kespa/OGN/OSL > ESF/GOM/GSL
Kespa have done this in the past too, in BW, pulling players out, in order to diminish a league/TV importance.
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.


I got super angry when GOMTV decided to host BW GOM season 1,2 and 3. I felt that they were using KeSPA players to make profit/promoting GOMTV (GOM player too). At least this SC2 time GOM didn't do that.

I don't understand whats problem here. Foreign scene sees GSL much more prestigious than OSL for SC2 at the moment. I just hope eSF wont start to boycott MLG because this.
