You don't support your argument with any reasons. Why isn't (close to) half and half fair? Are you afraid of playing against the best of Korea? You have to face them sometime if you want to be the best. The TSL is about the best playing against the best for the most entertaining games. Frankly, this could be the most exciting SC2 tournament yet in terms of the amount of top talent from around the world.


umm because their getting their spots handed to them and we have to earn ours?

Wowowow that was so epic. I am looking extremely forward to this, I started watching SC : BW a lot a few months before TSL2 and it was epic. I expect no less from this one.


One thing I am wondering is that are the Teamspeak TL Opens they are talking about the ones that have been already running?

what does that have anything to do with their being "too many" ? wouldn't you agree that there are more better players in korea?

Will these qualifier be the same 512 ppl tournaments you have been running the last few times? I mean bo1 seems like a bad idea whit so much money on the line.

Also will there be alot more reserved spots for pro players since alot will try to sign up now for sure?


-The point system where top 8 non-winner with the most point fixes this issue. If someone does well enough consitantly throughout the TL opens then that person deserves it.



-Reserve spots? There shouldn't be anymore reserve spots besides the korean invites and the seeded players. We need a tournament where the best players in the world are participiating and the opens will determine that. So I dont see any reason to have anymore reserve spots.

I wouldn't classify Jinro, HuK and IdrA as Asian players, but I'm sure they're included unfortunately.

I was hoping that wouldn't be the case. I really think players who can qualify should have to go through the process like everyone else considering they all have EU, NA accounts as well and speak English.

why should they have to qualify while korean players don't? that'd be racist

the invite process has to deal with logistics (playing from korea) and skill (more better players there).

if they made the entire tournament so that you had to qualify through TL opens but that koreans could play(and somehow do it without lag) then it's likely that every single qualifier would be won by someone from korea. that wouldn't be very fun now would it?

I'd like to hear some clarification on that myself. It seems like a huge number of spots being given away to Koreans if the 13 doesn't include TLAF, Idra etc.

But on the flip side it's kind of unfair that they don't have to navigate these tournaments with bo1 rounds full of alliners etc.

I am having a hard time deciding how I personally would want it handled. I mean ideally it's qualifiers for every region, or something ladder related with the reset coming

It seems unfair that those players would have to deal with server lag issues to try and qualify when they are all clearly top level players. I can see the argument but I cannot see a way around it when those 3 players have huge fanbases, are extremely skilled, and do not have the means to play without (at points crippling) lag.

Just get back to the form you had for mlg and you can win this np


Those 13 also include the NA/EU players in korea like idra, huk and jinro but I also think some korean qualifers for them would have been better then just invites.

Cool for the tournament.

I also believe that 8 spots for Asians would be good enough.

I agree this is gonna be epic.

And I agree it pretty retarded that the Koreans get their spots like that. Its not even funny how racist that is, imagine giving Brazil and Argentina a spot in the Football World Cup, while no other South American nations can compete, and while the rest of the world has to earn their spot. Logistics or not, its retarded.
