Do you think he woke up one morning, saw a cowboy hat outside his window, and went, 'Damn, I really wanna go to Dallas now!' If he wanted to play in the open bracket so badly, he could have told GOM a few days before and probably switched his group to one of the last. I'm curious if Polt asked for his group to be early or late so he could go to MLG or if it just worked out that way. Im guessing its because he wasnt 100% sure after losing in the MvP invitational playoffs. | ||

They knew Rain didn't qualify in the MvP. And they didn't list MLG on his tournament list. They could have just said he was going to MLG sooner. Not sure why some people are so out for drama though. Rain hasn't had the chance to play for the foreign fans (excluding China at WCS Asia). This will be his last chance to do so until next year. And he has a GREAT chance at winning MLG. I know Kespa does some shady shit, but I think its a bit much to pin this on some Kespa vs GOM shit. If anything, they want him to win GSL because it makes their players look even better. Wait, when is Code S going to Las Vegas? Is that this season or next? | ||

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. You forgot IdrA. Edit: NVM | ||

But still isn't it only Ro4 and the finals now? Or did they keep it Ro8? Still its not a lock he would make it that far. Crazy things can happen. | ||
