If you take a look at who went where it's almost always a trip paid by the organizer, most Korean players go to MLG because their flight and accommodation is paid for if they make it into groups. IPL4, IPL brought the entire Prime and Startale teams to play in the GSTL finals which led to an insane number of Korean players in the open bracket. This. Koreans never really traveled A LOT. It's usually Koreans on foreign teams involved in tournaments that don't have all expenses paid. | ||

I would love to see Startale/LG-IM start sending more players around if they can increase there sponsorship deals. | ||

An interesting thing to watch will be whether KESPA allows it's players to play in Foreign tournaments. I suspect it will limit their participation, but it will probably come down to money available in domestic tournaments. If the Korean BW fans embrace the transition into SC2 then KESPA might just ignore the Foreign tournaments. However there is a LOT of prize-money in the Foreign tournament scene currently, so that is a big change from BW days. | ||

Startale and MVP (The team) have been very active in the foreign scene for quite a while IM seems fairly uninterested in foreign tournaments on the whole. | ||

Kespa already has an exclusive deal with MLG which has a deal with Dreamhack, outside that I doubt you will see them for a while. | ||

Considering the whole kespa vs MLG thing that they are organising, we should see plenty of that | ||

It's pretty active participation imo. | ||
