thats just about the dumbest wish i've ever heard. no idea where this notion of rather give us bad koreans than foreigners in gsl comes from, makes literally no sense to me.
It would be good for the korean scene because the low-mid tier koreans are struggling for money and are probably on the brink of retirement while the foreigners playing in GSL aren't struggling at all and are abusing the current unfair system in which they are allowed to compete in korea but koreans aren't allowed to compete abroad just to get some free extra cash.

Basically this. The eligibility requirement for playing in the WCS Circuit should be not being in the current GSL season. That means if players want to play in the GSL, they have to go all in on Korea. It would also possibly mean lower tier Koreans could try their hand in the circuit without having to commit permanently like TRUE.

While I want GSL to be strictly the highest skill players, foreigeners are free to compete in all events whereas koreans are limited to the WCS KR ones. So it makes sense to favour koreans over foreigners purely because they're korean
Put it this way, it's sad to see mid-tier koreans get knocked out and be unable to play in anything while foreigeners of similar level are playing in both regions

Foreigners are free to compete in all events if they are willing and able to put in the time commitment of being available in Korea for (possibly) the entire duration of the GSL. The requirements for participating in WCS and GSL aren't symmetrical, but they haven't been at any point really.
Nice to see some Korean amateurs trying out. Even if they don’t qualify it’s nice to know the scene won’t die entirely when the current batch of players retire.
