Is there seriously drama surrounding this? Rain had a scheduling conflict, and obviously (read: probably had to) chose MLG over GSL due to the MLG/Kespa deal. He's dropped to Code A round 48, and we're done.

I dunno how TL can make drama over this decision when GSL doesn't seem annoyed, and neither does Kespa or Rain. No one's blaming anyone else, it's just how the schedules lined up.

I mean, it sucks that we can't watch Rain in Code A, but it's not like Rain is completely out of the GSL. He gets to fight people like motherfuckin' Taeja to get back into Code S.

Yeah no. SKTT1 could've easily told GOM earlier (like a few days ago) and GOM would've been able to change the schedule.

Like Fionn said, this is either incredible incompetence by SKT management or foul play.


well, earlier is only 1 day. I doubt he was thinking in MLG before the OSL final.

Rain won the OSL the 27th

anyone decided he can go to MLG

sktt1 announces the 29th

this is ridiculous there's no reason to choose mlg over gsl other than kespa-gom rivalry.

seriously rain has a chance to go really far in gsl, it's not like most mid-code-S or code-A koreans where the monetary incentive is to go to mlg.

Why?


If you sign up for a major televised event, you should show up. He dropped out 2 days before the event in order to go to a competing tournament. Again, I'm glad Mvp pwnd him last season.

Smart decision by SKT and Rain. After all, there is always chance to participate in GSL. It's also a great chance to visit other countries as well as....crushing white people and take their money.
You mean ESPORTS isnt a synonym for SC2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Proud owner of a Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry Blue Switches- BW or SC2? Why not both?

Even if he doesn't make it to code-s, does he really care? Proleague and OSL are more important to him

I lost some respect for Rain too. You don't just give up your code S spot for a spot in the open brackets of a regular MLG tournament in a foreign country. He will need to dominate that MLG tournament to win/keep some fans back, and if he loses he will get a lot of hate.

It's not like OSL is coming back any time soon, and there's no date announced for the next PL season either. Rumors are Kespa is having trouble getting the next PL started because of issues with Woongjin, T8 and of course Airforce Ace.

To be honest I like GSL way more than MLG. I am really sad that Rain chose MLG over GSL. =/

Lots of T8 players retired quietly and joined the underground afreeca BW scene, and Sea went to Liquid.

For Woongjin it's a sponsor issue.
