With BW you had the excuse that most non-Koreans did not grow up somewhere with a pro-scene so it would be boring to spectators if those (relatively) trash players had to face Koreans that were far better but no one had ever heard of. If you don't know what I'm talking about, look at what the restrictions for entering the last TSL were and remember they were engineered to avoid the masses of amateur/retired but incredibly strong Koreans. But SC2 is a new game and professional SC2 is still in its infancy so it wouldn't make sense to define a similar set of restrictions and make a "foreigner only" tournament. | ||

I'd rather see the very best players win regardless of nationality. Why do you think foreigners need a bone thrown to them? We've already seen that the very best can compete with the Koreans. I imagine in the future, if possible, they will have Korean server TL opens to decide who from that region gets a shot at qualifying. | ||

I'm not really worried to be honest, they're still a minority compared to the amount of foreigners, its not like in the GSL where its the opposite. I'm confident we'll have atleast 1 foreigner in the finals. | ||

I mean it's hard to set rules defining on what it means to be a foreigner, especially now that there are so many foreigners in SK and you have Idra who's been there from before SC2 until now. It would be even worse to base it on ethnicity since that is hard to check and unfairly excludes Koreans who have never even been to Korea. Or similar cases. | ||

That was never the case. If a person is living outside of Korea even if he is Korean is a "foreigner" | ||

Then watch any one of the multitude of foreign tournaments and you'll get your wish. How often do you get a truly international tournament? I think that's something pretty special | ||
