No, if you lose in code S you get directly in code A the same season and have to knock your way back in. You need to win at least 1 match to get in the up and down and 3 (not 100% sure) to get directly into code S. | ||

Does anyone really blame SKT1 for putting him in a tournament where he can explode, like foreign scene attention has done for Squirtle, Taeja, and others? It's not an issue of GSL not being the premier league, or KESPA using dirty tactics, but that quite frankly they're capitalizing on a player that's started to get attention from the giant foreign money-pit. And zomg KESPA and Gom still aren't being nice to eachother. Let me hold my shock. | ||

First of all the kid already plays for SKT1 I dont even think 80% of SCII only fans know what that means and maybe people need to wake up and figure that GSL, OSL even Starcraft itself isnt the most important thing to these guys. This is not like Federer forfeiting Wimbledon to play some invitational in China. This kid is like 18 years old, probably has never been out of Korea, Fantasy and Bisu went to blizzcon im sure they shared their experiences with their teammates. Why wouldn't a kid like that take the opportunity to travel to America, If it was the other way around and I was stuck In Canada my whole life, I dont see why I wouldn't take a trip like this to Korea or somewhere in Europe. The GSL and OSL will be around in the future, and yes so will trips to MLG, but Rain probably looked at that and choose that at this time he would rather go and experience a trip to America. Except that Rain could go to Vegas with GSL.... | ||

Korean scene is not as big, and since Gom couldn't accomodate his schedule like they did for other players... not a hard call there. He may even be looking for a way out of KeSPA through a foreign team judging how other KeSPA stars have spoken out about their wish to go abroad, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him aiming for that | ||

Since Gom couldn't change their schedule when he informed them only two days in advance and other players had already planned accordingly? Well after getting over the original shock I agree for publicity making the trek to MLG might work. He basically has to win though. | ||

But if he honestly forfeited his Code S seed for a CHANCE at winning $25,000 and having to go ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE OPEN BRACKET, then he might be the best player in the world, but not the best decision maker. Hopefully GSL does what they did with (other)Rain and suspend him for a season. Rain was one of the GSL's main stars after S4 and could have been a reason why a lot of people bought a ticket. I guess making a big name for himself in America is a good move, and he does have WCS Global Finals also this month that he might have put more priority on than Code S, but it seems like a foolish move. If he was in group play, I can maybe see it, but what happens if he rolls MC in the OB, loses a PvP and then has to win 30 matches in a row to even make Championship Sunday? Edit: I just realized this is the second time in history a player has given up their Code S seed willingly. BOTH WERE NAMED RAIN. I agree, this was a horrible decision. Rain was one of my main reasons for purchasing this season's GSL ticket... | ||
