If Rain fails to secure Code S for next season through Code A/Up&Downs I don't see any way of him receiving a sponsor seed after forfeiting his spot this season.


Unless he takes MLG. Still, winning from the open bracket? I hope he pulls a Leenock to justify his decision to completely ditch Code S.

Even if he wins OSL, WCS Global Finals and somehow wins a Nobel Prize, giving a sponsored seed to a player who FORFEITED THE RIGHT to be in Code S should not happen.

MLG has no affiliation with GOM anymore—winners haven't received Code S seeds in a while.

He was forced to play in the GSL anyway because of the crybaby ESF players.

He gave Gom what they wanted. He played a season, performed outstandingly, and got them viewers. He can ditch them if he wants.

Gotta love it.

You guys really need to learn that you do not have any control over Rain's life. His decisions are his decisions.



You're right, we don't have control over rain's life, but you're pretty naive to think he has control over his own life. A kespa player does not decide on what tournaments he plays in. Kespa does.

KESPA desperate to save their dying league so they are still all-in on getting foreigner interest, like I said.

... or he's just having fun by going to a foreign tournament for a change. Eh, maybe?

Also, I'm far less interested in the GSL this season now :/

That is a great point. Man, this just seems so totally inconsiderate.

if I had to TRY to read into the statement, GomTV tries to guide the blame more towards SKT management than the player himself, food for thought

ie) all decisions/communications are described as coming from SKT's side
AdministratorHey HP can you redo everything youve ever done because i have a small complaint?

Plenty of people are posting saying that they hope he gets knocked out of MLG in the open bracket.

if he felt GSL was ezmode, he wouldve sticked to GSL and get 1st place there which is much more than 1st place at this MLG

Can you just keep your pitchforks in your garages for the moment? This isn't even a big deal.
