Its good news, I cannot say more, but INnoVation not at WCG is good news for Europe. 
(if he will not go that is, just saying that if he's not going, its good for Europe!) Now I will shut up.
|
I can't see any reason why he would forfeit his position and $5,000 guaranteed winnings with a really good chance at winning $100,000.
Maybe if it was some kind of issues getting into the country but otherwise this can't be anything else than rumors.
EDIT: I misread WCG as WCS 
|
Isn't WCG the same day as Dreamhack Winter? I assumed he would forfeit for that tournament instead.

Yes WCG and DHW are on the same weekend. (TLO forfeited his WCG Germany semifinal for the same reason)

DHW has the highest potential winnings, also more people will be watching it and now that he's on Acer they care about eyeballs.

Well... that blows.
Honestly, I didn't think it was directly related to IEF, but a couple of people posted about IEF on NeoTV.

From money's perspective, WCG is easier actually.

While Innovation not being at WCG is good news for Europe, he most likely gets replaced by Soulkey (who finished 4th), so in the end it does´nt change to much.

hasn't WCG been a joke since years ago?
|
WCG is still the first international esports competition. And no scandal like eswc etc etc. Furthermore its based on nationality so theres only 3 koreans in it. Its still considered very prestigious coz the koreans who DO attend are the current top koreans instead of b-teamers or lucky few in say dreamhack or other events..
On a side note, no non-korean ever won, and Stork is the only person to have reached 3 grand finals in a row.
Also when counting majors, wcg is considered the top3 along the MSL OSL. Ofc these days its OSL and GSL.

It's a 3 man Korean tournament for like $25k so I guess if they like money they might do it still

Glad he chose Dreamhack over WCG. WCG hasn't been the premier tournament in... well... ever for SC2.
|
Innovation knows that DH is the best tournament, thats why he goes there! Gotta be interesting to see if he has fixed his TvT "issues"

에이스 이신형이 월드 사이버 게임즈(WCG) 국가대표를 포기했다.
WCG는 에이서의 드림핵 참가 결정에 따라 국가대표에 선발됐던 이신형이 WCG 그랜드 파이널에 불참한다고 11일 밝혔다. 이로써 이신형 대신 한국 대표 선발전 4위인 웅진 스타즈 김민철이 대신 출전하게 됐다.
이신형은 드림핵 부쿠레슈티에서 준우승을 차지하면서 그랜드 파이널인 윈터 대회 출전권을 획득했다. 하지만 그 전에 WCG 국가대표에 선발되면서 일정이 중복되는 윈터 대회를 포기할 것으로 보였지만 에이서 팀 결정에 따라 WCG를 불참하게 됐다.
드림핵 윈터는 올해 벌어진 4개 대회(스톡홀름, 서머, 발렌시아, 부쿠레슈티) 상위 입상자 16명과 온라인 예선을 통해 선발된 4명의 선수가 모여서 경기를 치르며 오는 11월 29일부터 스웨덴 이왼최핑에서 열린다. 우승 상금은 20만 KR(약 3,300만원)이며 지난 해에는 리퀴드 송현덕이 우승을 차지했다.
Translation:
Ace Innovation has decided to give up his spot representing Korea in the WCG.
Following Acers decision to attend Dreamhack, Innovation announced on the 11th that he won't be able to attend WCG. Because of this, the 4th ranked player Woongjin's Soulkey will be attending instead.
After coming second at Dreamhack Bucharest, he qualified to attend the grand finals at Dreamhack Winter. Although he was scheduled to attend WCG over Dreamhack Winter, following Acer's decision he will not be attending WCG.
Dreamhack Winter brings the top 16 players from the 4 Dreamhacks this year, as well as 4 qualifiers from online, and will be being held in Jönköping, Sweden. First prize is 200,000 kr (33000000 Won) and was won by Liquid'Hero last year.

I always loved WCG. But over the last years quality and value of WCG declined. Right now its a joke and i can understand why Innovation prefers IEM.

exactly.
For Broodwar WCG was probably the #1 tournament (at least before TSL).
Now it's just a really pathetic attempt on staying up there, despite dozens of better tournaments.

Well, it is what it is. Glad we'll still be able to see Inno play at Dreamhack! Hope Soulkey brings his game to WCG--even though it's been won by a Korean every time, in SCII the other two Koreans who didn't win dropped out in the Ro8 or earlier, making it just a little bit scary for Korea.
