[–]GamingLawLYCH [+1] [score hidden] an hour ago Hydra booked his wedding last year before any of the dates were announced, and while he did try to book around BlizzCon and WCS, it unfortunately worked out that BlizzCon starts abit earlier this year than the last 2 years (it starts on October 27th instead of November 1st). https://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/55r71t/hydra_to_forfeit_blizzcon_due_to_scheduling/d8d3zqt WCS playoffs and Blizzcon started in November in 2013, 2014, and 2015. The earlier October 26th date for this year's playoffs didn't seem to be announced until September 15th even though Blizzcon itself isn't until November 4th. I would thus expect that Hydra had good reason to assume it would start in November again, and I'm sure he needed to accommodate his fiance's plans as well. | ||

I'm fine, TL didn't like me saying proleague is over and GSL is probably over so I spent a week in Kespa jail. I had Byun's cell, he left chips everywhere, Life is still crying about getting caught, I told him to cowboy the fuck up. lmao. this is why ur one of my 2 favorite posters on here <3 | ||

Bronze multitasking in RL I don't want to be rude towards Hydra because I like him, but I can't comprehend how stupidly he handled it. I mean, even little child would have planned the dates better, so two big events in his life don't overlap. No joking. Well, good for Elazer and Violet  | ||

I don't know at what point Hydra got locked for Blizzcon, but at that moment he should start looking at it. The sooner you can find out if things can be worked out the better. I hope he was aware of the risk of the wedding crashing with Blizzcon when they picked a date. Blizzcon has been around that weekend for three years now. I'm happy for Hydra and wish him all the best. Also good luck to Elazer and viOLet at Blizzcon. | ||

I believe WCS rules state you must show up for your round to receive the money. If they didn't, they may as well have started handing out 10k extra to the winners of the WCS championships or SSL or GSL as your "Congratulations" prize. I think this is treated as a Disqualification in which case he shouldn't get his money. Also, who is Hydra's replacement in this case? Violet and Elazer are tied. | ||

They were tied for 8th place, which would have resulted into a bo5 series for that last spot. Now that Hydra is gone they both qualify. | ||

TRUE moves up a rank and takes Hydra's spot in group C. The spots in groups A and D will be taken by Violet and Elazer, though we're not sure how they'll decide how those spots will be determined. | ||

Depending on the size of the wedding, there could be a lot to do and they might not even get the places, food etc. at a different date. Guests can buy airplane tickets, book hotels etc. a long time in advance. I'm not married, but I do know that it's not just to change the date of a wedding. It's not even just a financial thing. You actually have to put a lot of work into planning it. I don't know at what point Hydra got locked for Blizzcon, but at that moment he should start looking at it.

Yeah especially if it is a popular place they(she) wanted to do it, they can have pretty long waiting lists during the good seasons. | ||

He'd rather celebrate with his family and friends than get 10k. | ||
