Rain has done this before. Remember him dropping out of GSL to go the MLG(I think?). I don't really support this decisions, but whatever, I guess he thinks that it is better for him this way.

Wow, this sucks. Zest vs Rain has become a fantastic rivalry over the course of the year. Rain will surely be kicking himself if he doesn't do well at San Jose.

Hard to complain about Flash/PartinG/TY getting a second chance, though, with a televised wildcard match no less.

this is really weird, the prize pool is better in the hot6 cup.

Competition is way harder though, also i think people like rain just really want to go to international events more

He has a much better chance of winning IEM than hot6. MKP too strong.

Wow looks like they really want a fan voted player in the Ro8 d:
Surprising decision from Rain tbh. There will be plenty of IEMs that he will be able to attend next year, while there's only one hot6ix cup in a year.

So there is another chance for Flash to be smacked down once again in a such big caliber tournament inside Korea

He definitely may achieve elimination twice! :D

Remember when Rain dropped out of Code S to play in another tournament and then got sent to Code B by Dream?

so I guess herO would have pulled out as well if he had gotten further :o

I don't understand why tournaments always have to be so close within each other...

snap, I thought that MarineKing would go directly to the semi finals. Ah well, a Bo5 against Parting would be interesting ^^

Wow i think MarineKing after 4-0 vs protoss would of fancied beating Rain and made him favorite. Vs a Terran or PartinG i don't see him being as favored

PROVE ME WRONG MARINE KING
