My best bet is either SKT1 playing in GSTL or something KeSPA related since they clearly said an another party is involved. | ||

So they based it on his actual results in some event, but they can't announce that it's the case because that would spoil this other tournament (whatever event it is). I don't know what notable ongoing tournament has matches that have already been played though. | ||

Sooooo, which other "ones" even ARE in Korea except for Kespa and GOM??? Blizzard, but it is extremely unlikely that they get involved in private tournaments. OGN? Counts as Kespa . And other than that? I can't think of anything. | ||

The timing was extremely odd and the announcement is quite mysterious. Sooooo, which other "ones" even ARE in Korea except for Kespa and GOM???

It could be related to the GomTV HOTS Special and Blizzard was involved. | ||

Mr. Chae is smart enough not to reveal any information regarding the OSL prior to its official announcement. I did not believe the OSL reason was valid until reading Mr.Chae's statement, where it becomes pretty obvious he is holding some information back. In the end, don't really care if they gave it to Rain, were guaranteed some good games that way. Yeah, the champion cross seeds would make the most sense. But Mr Chae stated that it is not related in any form to Kespa. Now technically OGN isn't Kespa but they are so close that it would still be very deceiving and dishonest from him. | ||

I don't know what notable ongoing tournament has matches that have already been played though. yeah i was thinking maybe they did some kind of hots beta tournament for one or two seeds 'privately' (maybe even online) and wanna broadcast it over the next week or something. it would kinda make sense given that everybody qualified through wol for some reason even though the next season is gonna be hots, so they would have at least two hots qualified guys. also the beta is down now so they would have to have done this tournament earlier and could then broadcast it later... but i don't know, it doesn't really make all that much sense now that i think about it, given that hots comes out in 6 days and code S finals are on saturday so i don't really see when they would broadcast that. | ||

And other than that? I can't think of anything. Why necessarily in Korea? My wild guess would be it has something to do with MLG so it is going to be announced at MLG. Rain lost his place in Code S due to MLG after all. Even more likely it has something to do with KesPA, it's just that KesPA didnt force them. Maybe an agreement, OSL winner gets a seed into Code S and vice versa, or something like that. | ||
