Couldn't they just give MVPMK a free pass to the
semi finals? .-.

Why would they do this when they have ample time to provide a replacement...

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

But the expected value of winning is not.
Plus perhaps free trip to BrazilUSA (lol at me it's San Jose, not Sao Paulo)?
Plus perhaps a chance to qualify directly for IEM WC?
Plus perhaps better exposure for mYi?

I guess he should enjoy his semi-retirement as much as possible.
S4 Arrows, never forget. RIP Woongjin Stars.

Korea, stop trying to make Flash happen. He's never going to happen.
The world is better when every background has a chance.

Well, Rain did join a foreign team to compete abroad.

That's a shame. I was looking forward to MKP vs Rain T_T. But if PartinG could get through, I would be even ore hyped!

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

Yeah that was awesome play by Dream

Ok so it was pretty fucking irresponsible of Rain to play the group stage and then forfeit right? He's known he was qualified for San Jose since October and he knew the dates. herO did this as well but he didn't get past groups so he doesn't have to do this. Kind of a shitty thing to do.

I'm just thinking he shouldn't get money or WCS points from this tournament

and tbh herO would've done the same thing had he advanced. Shame

I am in Seoul this week, and to my great disappointment, it seemed as if there would be no live games at all this week. This wild card thingy seems like something worth watching.

I can't however find any info anywhere whether these games will be played online only or if I can go and see them in a stadium or something?
