These qualifiers are restricted to citizens or persons with residency visas. SaSe apparently doesn't have this. | ||

" Ladder wildcard spots will have open enrollment with no citizenship or residency restriction, but still have a master's level requirement with a minimum number of ladder wins within that regional server." So they could if they wanted to. | ||

Please try to make a more clear statement. The term "local resident", is something that I am forced to interpret as a person in Taiwan with a right to reside there. In other words, someone who is a resident of Taiwan. Citizens, and foreigners that possess resident visas. What I will say, first and foremost, is that yoeFWSan was not allowed to compete in the WCS NA Taiwan / Hong Kong / Macao qualifier even though he belongs to the premier team in Taiwan: yoe Flash Wolves (the same team that I belong to, I might add). And to that end, I will also add that the one Korean (True) and one American (Suppy) that were invited to compete in TeSL and presently staying in Taiwan this season, were not allowed to compete in it either. I will also add, at this stage, that I am no more happy to see this than you are. It sucks, it really does, but SaSe, I believe, does not have the proper visa to stay, live, and work in Taiwan. If someone goes to Taiwan to study abroad (like I did), then they are given what is called a visitor visa. That means staying for a short while, then leaving. TeSL, the organization that initially invited SaSe so long ago and had him train with gamabears before they disbanded, was able to secure him a visitor visa, and San, as well, has a visitor visa. Please stand by for an official statement from a TeSL representative, as I am simply a liaison, nothing more, nothing less... P.S. Please do not use the term "Asian" like this again. I feel it is not a politically correct term in the world of Starcraft eSports. all Non-Koreans are foreigners, and I am sure SaSe would agree with me on that statement. EDIT: Official statement from TeSL below. + Show Spoiler + SaSe didn't have a Residents Visa, so he is not able to participate in this region. He is using a Visitors Visa staying in Taiwan. This is what I have heard from Taiwan Blizzard. | ||
