People are so sensitive.

I'm glad some are saying "yay Roro at an international tournament" though, rather than just dummy spitting about their only being four people competing for ONE spot, instead of five.

I would have dived in front of Roro like Kevin Costner did for Whitney Houston.

Jesus... can you at least put this in spoiler tags

yeah tbh I agree with the people who are saying Kespa isn't at fault here. Sounds like RorO could have just said no
DH has higher prize pool, should be easier to win, and he gets to travel. I can see why he wants to go. Surprised so many others passed it up

Plus, people who are complaining failed to realyze that it is good for Samsumg too, while not so for KT or CJ.

Given the insane competive level of the global tournament, I'd say this is a really good idea. Strange that none of the players ranked higher than Roro accepted.

Considering the names (herO, TY, Flash, and Maru), I don't find it too surprising. They likely want to stay lazer-focused on training and maintaining their forms. I don't think it's necessarily a lack of interest or something like that.

Kind of a weird/dick move by Kespa. Kind of fucks over ESF right before this Global Finals.

I thought ESF was dead

Sucks for GSL but man I can't wait to watch DH now. Watching KeSPA pros play in foreign tournaments is always so exciting, especially when it's someone like RorO. Their new policy is also pretty cool.

Who are the players that declined? Is it just the liquipedia list under statistics? I would be a little disappointed if flash declined, i want to see the jaedong-flash rivalry again..

For everyone now claiming I'm a conspiracy theorist and blame Kespa for all the world's problems, hear me out. Of course it's good for Roro. He gets to go to an arguably easier tournament with a bigger prize pool. Of course it's nice of Kespa, they're paying for one of their top players to go to a foreign event, which they usually can't go to. I just think the least Kespa could do is figure this out and notify GSL well in advance. CJ herO was 2nd to Roro in his qualifier bracket. If this had been brought up 2 weeks ago like it should have, herO could have simply replaced Roro and all would be well. Kespa is big enough and professional enough to have sorted this out and notified GSL ahead of time, but they didn't.

Kespa probably didn't expect so many players to decline the spot to come it down to Roro lol

Okay? Their first choice was Maru (also in Global final). Other choices were TY, Flash, and herO of which Flash is in it as well. This doesn't change the fact that they should have started asking people a long time ago.

Goddamnit he's my FPL captain. So he's gonna miss the game against IM. Bummer... But will he be back in time for the game vs SKT, that is the question?

The game is at April 29, 2014 - 19:00 KST according to LP
