Code S semi-finalist from last season SKT Rain has chosen MLG over GSL and will give walkovers to his opponents in today's Group D.
Rain's participation in MLG open bracket was announced two days ago on October 30th and he will be joining the company of the likes of MC, Polt, HuK, Idra and Crank in attempt to make the pool play. Unfortunately, this causes unresolvable scheduling conflicts that make him drop out of Code S for this season.

[...] On October 29th, SK Telecom T1 asked GOMTV if Rain would be able to participate in MLG Dallas and if it would be possible to change our schedule. We have checked all other players' schedules to see if Rain could have played on another day. Because of various other groups of players that we had to shift around due to their already submitted schedules, we were unable to accommodate Rain in this matter.
SK Telecom T1 has ultimately has chosen to send Rain to MLG Dallas and have officially informed us. Therefore, even though we have looked for all possible ways for him to play in both events, our current schedule did not allow us to make it happen.

This means that today's Code S Group D will have three players, three matches and only two of Yoda, Gumiho and Hyun advancing.
