Who cares, really I mean the majority of the "foreigners" already declined GSL invites or just don't want to go to Korea, to spend a ton of money and have a chance to maybe get 1500 bucks for Code A and the Code S slot isn't much better for the risk or going there for a month vs the rewards possible. I don't think the Starcraft2 E-sports scene will be focused in Korea in the next two years, shifting to the NA/EU because of the amount of people watching collectively from NA/EU easily out weigh Korea's SC2 viewers(it's just simple logic). However I do agree with the sentiment of the OP in the sense that Korean's haven't earned the places given to them in the foreign community, they're still riding the stigma from BW of "Korean's are just better and if you don't come to Korea to play your a coward/baddie/noob/w.e". This isn't to say that they don't deserve invites and should be made to compete in every qualifier, but auto seed into Championship Brackets is rediculous for 3 token invites to CodeA(whooping 1500 bucks whoooo) and a single code S. TSL3/NASL proved and continue to prove that Korean's aren't the end all be all of the SC2 pro-scene, and personally even though I love to watch certain Korean players more then EU and NA players I love seeing them get crushed. If only because each time it happens, it is another shovel of dirt burying the idea that "Korean's are just better then us."
