KeSPA strikes again
Group C of the OSL played yesterday with what was sure to be an exciting match between GoRush and Backho. However, the excitement took a turn for the worse with GoRush forfeiting two games, adding up to a disqualification from the OSL.
Apparently in the first match-up on Holy World, GoRush typed the characters 'ㅎㅎ', for reasons unknown, and was given a forfeit loss. Then, in the second game, GoRush attempted to type something to see if his text was in Korean or English (since hotkeys don't work properly when in Korean), but forgot to delete the "a" that he typed, entered the text, received another forfeit loss, and was therefore disqualified from the tournament.
My sympathies go out to GoRush, who was clearly upset about this turn of events. Backho moved on to face Tester in the next set of Group C. Click the spoilers to see the individual results
