Keep in mind that Reynor already this year made the trip to Korea (which I'm sure wasn't a simple ordeal) just to play in GSL and he ended that adventure with a very disappointing result.
If he doesn't want to make another cross continent trip to play in another tournament when he's already pretty much locked into going to Katowice then it makes sense to me why he'd want to sit this one out.
As others accurately put it, he's not just a gamer, he has a life and he's been burning very bright this year.

Ohh, that makes sense.

This is nothing against any player, but the lack of caster at the site and some big name players missing really hurt the hype of the overall event. Sure it would still be fun and crowded (?) but its one of the rare occasions for the die-hard SC2 fan in the US to finally have an offline event and their experience wont be as amazing.

Did they accidentally link TL Hero when it should be DPG's herO in the tweet?
I was very confused at first.

Any proof? That would be hella dumb on his part.

Do you have a source for this?

FYI in his interview at the Pig Sty Festival this morning, Reynor said that he really wanted to go to Atlanta, but was forced to back out due to personal reasons related to his family. He will be back for Homestory Cup though.
Prayers for whatever that might be! As people said above, progamers have lives, families, crises, etc, like everyone else.

Missing Classic as well
Or am I missing something?

I might be misunderstanding but, DRG qualified through the regional (GSL) and would not be present on a group stage 1/2 graphic.
|
Whoopsie, I completely forgot DRG got top top 6 in GSL, my bad.
|
I feel like the new format compared to last year makes this kind of thing less likely, but it is a bummer to not see Reynor or Dark playing. Still should be a good tourney though!

People wanted offline back but forgot that you almost never get every Single top Player for an offline Event.
You can t have both the accesability from online play and the hype from offline play unfortunatly..
I m grad that there are still tons if 3rd Party Events ike the recent afreeeca thing running online, so we have a healthy Mix from both

That's true, though I feel like at least now there's at least a chance that you could since the top guys can still compete in the open sign-ups if they have a bad prior regional and don't get top seeded in (like with the old IEM formats, which produced some great shows with all the top players).
|
Well.. a top 5 candidate for a winner not attending a tournament sure sucks..
Oh well.. Still hope for some great games. Foreigners FIGHTING!
|
Not that there's anything wrong with not attending, but does anyone know why Dark decided to skip Atlanta?
