Ultimatums kill relationships.

An ultimatum was likely issued by this female ("me or blizzcon"). If so, I feel really bad for hydra.

speculation is a funny thing

Why is it more likely that "this female" is responsible than Hydra just places more value on his wedding than on Blizzcon?

Because sexism.

It's such an absurd comment besides. Literally the only thing we have to go by is that Hydra isn't attending Blizzcon. There is no telling if he was reluctant to cancel or not, if he was the one most eager or not, if his wife-to-be even actually gave a shit (I grant it's highly unlikely she didn't, but still).

As much as I rooted for Neeb to win Dreamhack Austin, I am kind of glad now that Hydra was able to win a tournament and have some great finishes in his last year.(for now?) as a progamer.

I don't think I ever accused Hydra's fiance of the conflict. I just questioned their scheduling decisions.

Regarding females placing higher value in weddings compared to males, its just from experience and my own stereotypes.

I've gone to many weddings, and spoken to the grooms and brides. Including my wedding, the grooms are rarely involved in all the minute details about the wedding. And if there is an objection or input from the groom, its usually relegated to price. So that indicates, at least to me, that females put a higher value/importance to grand/elaborate weddings.

I've only come across one groom that planned the entire wedding, one wedding of approximately 20 weddings I participated in. Does that mean Hydra is also the exception? It very well could be. Judging from some Koreans saying Hydra was losing his passion anyways, perhaps he did value his wedding much more than Blizzcon. I've known a few wives that will put their husband's interests before their own, and if in Hydra's position, might have encouraged them to play at Blizzcon. It would be cool if Hydra's fiance was like that.

I don't think life is black and white, and I know that exceptions and rules are always muddied by blurry lines. That said, I'm still disappointed in Hydra. As a fan, I wanted to see him perform.

There is no such thing is "e-sports". There is Brood War, and then there is crap for nerds.

The coinflip isn't a big deal. Both groups look very difficult, so winning the flip isn't a game changer.

Personally though, I would want to be in Group D. Showtime is the weakest player in the two groups.

Violet won the toss, so he gets 7th seed. Elazer is in 8th.

Coinflip makes sense though since theoretically someone could prefer one group to the other and throw the matches

I don't know. Stats, Nerchio, and Dark or Solar, TY, and Showtime?

I really doubt anyone would want either. I guess that's also why they did a coin toss. Both groups are equally nasty. I guess it's a question of whether you want a Korean Terran or a Korean Protoss. (That and Nerchio or Showtime).

are people seriously this clueless? weddings take months to plan. the venues and catering and food and flowers and everything all have to be booked in advance and everything needs to be coordinated. you cant just say LOLZ SCHEDULE FOR ANOTHER TIME, because you'd have to then reach out to all the vendors and venues and stuff. and stuff gets booked up in advance, so you can't just shift it a few weeks

I typically just remember rooting against him, but that's a real bummer. Sad to hear he couldn't participate in one last big tournament.
