Once again, the issue is not that he did it, but that he said it so late to GOM and now they are stuck with what to do. | ||

Plus given his team is sponsoring his trip, a free vacation in the US. Most Koreans love foreign travel and the US is a favored destination. | ||

I dont think that is an issue, considering what esf did to osl i think that gom has to accept this: it looks worse ongom if they get mad for rain wanting to go to gsl when gsl has accomodated in te past | ||

The ESF players did that themselves. Have people really forgotten why that happened? Because Kespa were trying to de-legitimize the GSL by pulling their players out while still having the ESF players playing in the OSL. How could anyone even think to blame GOM for that? They didn't instigate anything, they didn't make any decisions, it was kespa being shady and the ESF (not GOM) that punished them for that decision. | ||

Besides, I'm sure he enjoyed way more playing in front of a passionated crowd than in front of the empty/emotionless GSL crowd. | ||

Rain was given a seed into the most prestigious tournament in the world. He performed well and almost won it. Then, he forfeits his games in the next season at short notice in order to attend a different tournament. it is extremely disrespectful to the GSL. What would people say if someone like Naniwa did the same thing? They would criticise him heavily. | ||

Ah, you are one of those people that try to see it the way they want no matter what gets presented. Unless its found out that GOM was behind it somehow, you can keep your conspiracy theories to yourself. ESF maybe did it for GOM partially but they made the decision. | ||
