Korean forums exploded that game.
It's essentially the balance between 'meh, let's throw the game and give our opponents free points' and 'we should try our best even though we're knocked out'.
Dark's case was little different.
1. They certainly could've tried to get 1 point, then get 3 points next time around. This meant that they had a chance of qualifying, a.k.a. they trolled before getting knocked out officially
2. Their opponent was not knocked out, so the results of the game did matter.
3. After their picks and bans (which was cute, I admit), they intentionally threw the game and started playing Gomoku with wards (...?). Why waste the fans, casters, and OGN staff's time with useless game that's being broadcasted as "professional" e-Sports?
To above poster: It wouldn't be as big of a problem if they TRIED to win and showed some professionalism after the troll ban/pick.

They were as good as out of Champions, still had to play vs Samsung Ozone. They picked a Cloud Templar tribute comp with Amumu, Shen, Trundle, Maokai, Skarner (so all of his favourite champions), which was obviously a troll comp. Then they proceeded to play very trolly and obviously lost their nexus after ~13 minutes (iirc) to Ozone.
Edit: SNM summed it up very nicely actually. Oh wait I actually listed the wrong champions I believe. They must have played Rammus, no? My tl;dr fails

Reappeared will not play in NLB Winter this Season. After dropping out of OGN Champions he wrote on his Facebook that he hasn't taken a break since he started playing 2 years ago. So he will take a break for this Season.

I dont think he has it anymore , all the switches he made were terrible IMO,his performance in WCG Korea was awful , his games vs Xenics were bad , performance vs CJ was meh. Best option would be to coach Jin Air teams , he is smart dude , knows the game , is very innovative and if they get better player for mid and get their shit together , Jin Air could be good.

Posting your own tweets ? :D Looks like LoL in korea is just getting bigger and bigger... Why is TL so late to the party to cover the scene ? Well at least with dota2 I guess we can give the illusion that eu and na are almost as good as korea/china...
|
AFAIK TL doesn't consider LoL a high caliber (paraphrased heavily) esport like SC2 and DotA2 so yeah.
|
No I don't think that's the reason at all. However I think part of the reason is that they're pretty late to the party and there's not a whole lot of market space to fill for them if they were to fully feature it. Also community backlash imaginable.

Reapered and HooN retired , the latter is preparing for transition in coaching . I personally feel like both of them could be good coaches since they have actual game understanding and they have built their teams from ground up .Reapereds team got in RO8 2 seasons in the row and HooN missed out on RO8 very slightly.

A chronic illness that he has dealt with since he was a kid resurfaced during his pro career that started right after military.(thanks to Chobra for this translation) Poohmandu is taking a break from professional gaming to recover his health. Once he recovered he will return to professional gaming and SKT T1 K. But in the meantime SKT T1 K is looking for a replacement.
SKT T1 Secretariat: "Poohmandu is a great player he will take a break to dissuade any troubles with his health. The health of a proplayer is the most important thing because of that he will take a rest and we wish that he can return to being a professional player. Poohmandu will remain on SKT T1 K and please cheer for him so that he can recover his health and return fast to being a professional player."
