There are other players in code s that are going to this mlg without need to forfeit gsl. This leaves the impression
that SKTelecom is the only team don't have the competence to do something as simple as take care of their players
scquedule properly.

Doesn't the simplest solution seem to be playing the match in advance and either casting the replays or just announcing the results?

That might have worked for his match vs Hyun, but after that it would have been either GumiHo or Yoda, and possibly after that either one of the three. So you would need to play out the whole group beforehand, which doesn't really make sense and it is unfair for the other three people in the group, as it takes away their preparation time without notification. So, no, that's not an option, I'm afraid.

Unfortunte, I wasn't sure of the implications beyond the match he initially forfeit. Sad news, as a player I would rather a GSL spot than MLG, thought I suppose they want to honor the MLG agreement and get some foreign exposure.

It seems pretty cut and dry what happened here. It seems a bit questionable to want to forfeit a Code S spot for MLG but he must just have high hopes for MLG.

Cannon rushed by Gaulzi? :D

As a fan of his, I really disagree with his decision here. I'm not sure why he'd do it when he's in the middle of GSL, as opposed to waiting for the next MLG or something. I guess he thinks he can win more prize money at this MLG than in his current GSL, but I think he's got a longer road ahead of him =/

So sad to hear this. Was really looking forward to seeing Rain go all the way to the finals this season.

Props to GSL who seems to be very flexible and really trying to help the players and the teams with scheduling. Strange move by Rain, why didnt he tell them earlier? My guess would be it had been discussed and he didnt want to go but somehow got persuaded/forced. Just speculating ofc

Clearly you weren't much of a fan in the first place if this is enough for you to jump ship lol. Or you're just a d____ q____ spewing some hyperbole out of your mouth. Probably the latter.

This is absolutely ridiculous. I don't know who the hell is ultimately responsible for rain's exit but this has really hurt GSL's credibility.

They informed GOM 29th? That's pretty close. Should've informed them earlier and this could've probably been avoided.

That is not what is happening. KeSPA, at this point, seem to be attempting to undermine the authority of GSL by using their MLG partnership to make it seem like MLG is more important than Code S. I could not be that, but right now it seems like that due to KeSPA's past actions.

It's this kind of dramatic exaggeration that really doesn't do anyone any good. Losing one player for one season obviously does not "really hurt" GSL's credibility. Code S is stacked with 31 other great SC2 players.

The OSL ended on the 27th and GOM was inform on the 29th I dont see a problem with that. I'm pretty sure he wasnt thinking about going to mlg when he was in the OSL finals. He probably decided he wanted to travel after the finals was over.

As if he had to choose between the two. No, he didn't plan it properly (or the team) and because of that, many fans are disapointed.

Rain is the best Kespa player currently. Kespa are trying to win over the Foreign fanbase. Obviously they already have fans from BW but they need to win over the SC2 fans due to their players exploits in SC2. Rain at MLG makes sense to further that aim of Kespa's, rather than GOM's tournaments getting the benefit of Rain's current high profile.
