Rain has terminal cancer. Attending this final GSL is his dying wish.
EDIT: Yeah okay, maybe that was a questionable joke.. However, as someone who's lost family members to cancer, I don't think having it being a taboo or something untouchable benefits anyone. Had I thought about it for a couple seconds extra, I might not have made this joke, especially remembering certain players, but I believe in laughing at the horrors of life, not hiding from them.

Haha I am curious about the reason with those announcements of the announcement though.
I would find it hilarious though if he forfeits again. But I really hope he stepped up his gameplay and stopped being a one trick pony though.
Maybe Blizzard has chosen an ESF Terran, a Kespa Toss and a Foreign Zerg. To train the HotS release version that was set in stone and the beta just a setup to make people think they had influence on the game. And those 3 players have fallen abit in strength due to that, but will be total badasses in HotS and will debut their skill in Code S. And play exactly how Blizzard had envisioned HotS to be played and force the meta on their path.

I don't know if anyone commented this in last 15 pages, but maybe this is connected to some deal with Kespa. Maybe GSL and OSL will start seeding players into each other tournament. Since they cannot say reason right away, it sounds to me like something like that.

Yeah, not the best joke considering... you might wanna edit that out Kasaraki.

I'm very curious... there was a lot of acknowledgement on GOM's part about how weird this is.

Not terribly happy about this news, but whatever... It's not like Rain won't show some good games.

Am I the only one that thinks there is a possibility that there may have been foul play vs Flash that they didn't bother with a rematch?

What do you mean with foul play? Didn't see anything strange in these games.

I see a possible OSL - GSL collaboration announcement soon!

Seriously, not cool to joke about...
Anyway, really bad that they seeded him right out of his U&D group. He got a seed, went to semis and then threw that back in GOM's face by skipping the next Code S to go to MLG (because of not informing them enough in advance to rearrange his games). Then karma struck and he dropped out of Code A as well. And since then he's done relatively little.
And now they're giving another seed? What? Going to be interesting to see their justification.

It wasn't Rain's decision to give up GSL for MLG. It was KesPa.

could you elaborate on what you mean by that? the way i interpret this doesn't make much sense to me.
i hope they have a good reason for this and the other seed is a good one.

that cancer joke was pretty sad.
now I'm sad

I'm gonna go and speculate on the reason:
GOM gives code S seed to OSL winner, then Kespa gives a seed to the current GSL champion for OSL.
who may very well be Roro lol

Its their league they can seed whoever the fuk they want to and i dont see why anyone should make a big fuss out of it. Regardless it seems there are some behind the scene works in the progress that are not done yet to rationalize the seed.

Maybe everyone should stop quoting him then, lol.

A bit stupid considering there have been two days in a row of tiebreakers. I would have liked to see those guys somehow get a chance. (Granted if Rain played today probably wouldn't have had tiebreakers but still...)

Who might be the other player? I'm guessing whoever wins the IEM. ^ yeah I think youre right there. I'll be interested to see what GOMTV's rational for this will be  "oh he was in Code S before but due to commitments, had to leave, so he should get that chance back" better not be the reason or I'll puke. Imagine if it is due to a forthcoming monster announcement "Ladies and Gentlemen... please welcome... LGIM.Rain"
^^ would be funny but SKTT1 can pay more then any other proteam, i doubt ANY good player will EVER leave SKTT1 if they not want him leave ^^
also mr chea says they will say the reasons later so there ARE reasons and sofar its fine 
hope 2nd seed protoss too, to less protoss in code s so far (6p 9t 15z ^^ half zerg, so its good no hots z buffs then they are fair after season 2 )
edit: knowing that OSL will start soon, it would be really understandable to have OSL#1 SEED CODE S and GSL#1 SEED OSL, and GSL cant say it because they have to wait OSL announce their new season ... well its the most logical reason
