I think this is a huge part, weekend tournaments usually get around 50k viewers on twitch, Hot6 cup was getting like 10k.
Rain drops out of HOT6 CUP for IEM; replaced by PartinG -…

Shame Well, I don't think he should be fined since he didn't break any rules... But yeah I dislike this move too. I expect the players to have some sort of commitment when entering a tournament, like you either don't enter IEM if it may confict on dates or don't enter Hot6 in the first place. Plus if he already knew he was going to San Jose, why waste your time playing the groups in Hot6 Cup? (and the other player's time and the tournament organizer's time too) I understand he now wants to travel as much as possible but I hope this behavior doesn't become a regular thing now that there's gonna be so much action in Korea... | ||

I would think it is but none is listed on the liquipedia page so far. I also must imagine being placed in a Ro16 group with (at least) two foreigners in it played a factor in Rain's decision. If, say, herO and Bomber were in Rain's IEM group I'm figuring this may not have been his decision. I think Rain was scared of losing to MKP  | ||

MKP goes straight to the finals off of winning a ro16 group? No one would take the finals seriously. PartinG/Flash/TY getting a second chance is only awkward if they beat MKP. If MKP wins, the tourney is still 100% on track. | ||

Rain has qualified for IEM quite a long while ago and they know their tournament is at the same time. So why not just ask him and herO beforehand about their plans? | ||
