It sounds like Rain won something related to the launch event that was played on beta so the outcome is already known but they want to keep it secret to not spoil it and now they have unintentionally because of fans spazzing out.

well, whatever the reason is, they kinda had to announce Rain getting a seed today cause of the U&D group...

Aren't most conspiracies followed up with that it isn't a conspiracy?!?!?!?!? :D but yea I have no clue as to why this is happening since he was in U&D matches. Its not like he wasnt even in GSL but guess we'll have to just wait for the "real reason" - conspiracy :D

I for one love announcements of announcements. There is absolutely no better way to hype whatever you are wanting to say. No better way to grasp everyone's attention to whatever the reason may be. I'm already prepared to be absolutely blown away with the secret reason SKT_Rain got seeded over his other peers.
There's no S in KT. :P

Rain probably has a salary larger than most ESF team's budgets.

Why is there such a reaction because of this seed? Even if GOM provided no reason (which they will provide), this pick makes more sense than any foreigner that got a free seed aside from Stephano.

Seriously? Maybe it's because you're so vocal in LR threads whenever an MVP player wins, but it seems your favorite players do quite well.

Anyhow, this really does seem strange....

Even if his current salary isn't high, it does not matter. I don't know when his contract expires, but with his skill and fame he can negotiate a very good contract from SKT.
Stuck.

Pretty sure Rain is making somewhere around $100,000 from his new contract.

The hyperdefensive tone of the announcement makes it appear more than likely that one (or more than one) of the things that it tries to deny is exactly what happened.

Why not just play the wild card group for the last 2 spots in code S instead of doing seeds. what the fuck!

That would be a good idea. I could see them giving a code s sees to foreigners just for viewership. I would rather see naniwa than rain play.

This was exactly what I was thinking when I read it.
