its skt decicion not kespa, so its BOXERS decision, he isnt against GSL so its just a "go to foreing tournaments and make big fanbase" thing whats absolute understandable ... to bad gsl isnt able to make schelude change so he can play ... all others from MLG can play because they have earlier playdays ... just bad

Yeah : (.

I hope this works out for him and he gets a bigger fan base. I think in the end, it'll help him out more (if he should succeed at making a big impact this weekend), but I don't know for sure *shrug*.

It's really not that hard to understand, people... the issue is not just that Rain wants to go to MLG, the issue is that his team informed GOM two days ago, thus giving them no time to prepare and eliminating two games from GSL. That's the real story here, and as someone else has said, that either comes down to complete incompetence from SKT1 or some kind of bad intent towards GOM.

Sounds kinda silly to me... A high placement in GSL would have meant automatic participation in IPL

They have earlier play days because they INFORMED GOM that they were going to MLG Dallas ahead of time. If Rain/SKT/KeSPA informs GOM the day after groups are announced or even before, Rain would have gotten his group moved to next week.

Waiting until the 29th, going, 'Hey, GOM, we're going to MLG now, so please change the schedule,' is just idiotic. Either management screwed up big time, or there is foul play somewhere in this story.

Is there going to be another goodbye/death video for Rain like they did for Idra?

I like how frank GOMTV is in their announcement. Unfathomable that they announce his MLG Dallas attendance so close to the event itself, and so carelessly after the deadline GOMTV had given players and teams. I mean, you have an organisation with such a generous deadline, that's literally a day before they finalise their schedule, and you fuck up. I don't know what to think, is it stupidity? Or is it maliciousness? >_< Both are equally bad...

the value you get from sending a player to mlg just after him winning an OSL title dramatically changes, nothing idiotic there. It is a huge chance to get exposure for yourself (player), your team, coach and even Kespa players in general.

all foreign eyes will be on the raining OSL champ - and this absolutely legitimates animmidiate change of plans.

Kespa is the root of all evil. The lateness of the notice is unacceptable. Rain should be removed completely from the GSL and banned for next season. nothing less sends the appropriate message to Kespa that such actions will not be tolerated.

Well, winning GSL gives you more exposure than any other tournament since it is THE league to win.
Play your best

Your solution to this problem is to punish one of the best players right now who is completely innocent in all of this? I'm glad you have no position of power in this community.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Skill grants you immunity to punishments? Don't see how skill is relevant...

...oh? Rain cock blocks his own path to greatness by leaving the most competitive tournament in sc2 while simultaneously cock blocking all of code S, as the winner will succeed in a tournament that never even involved the player vying for the spot of best in the world. Good times.
