I hope Gom will manage it as fairly as possible , I don't want koreans netizen to feel that foreigners are "stealing" their spots. edit; By the way I'd like to say that I'm impressed by the way MLG is reacting to what happened in Dallas , it was a disaster but it looks like you doing everything to prevent this from ever happening again.I'm really looking forward to your next event, and I hope it will run smoothly. | ||

Lets say top #4 placement last GSL gets an invite to MLG However this is fucking awesome and im sooooooo looking forward to MLG cbus Odds of those players coming are pretty low. I am suprised Bomber is actually going to be traveling during his first Code S Season. But yay Bomber vs Foreigner! | ||

Also the lineup is MMA, Bomber, Losira and Moon, those are inceribly good players. I'm very excited to see how they do against international competition. According to some posters here they should finish 1st-4th but I'm not so sure about that. | ||

Also GSL fixed the scheduling error making the "super tournament" take a break while MLG is on, giving every korean the ability to attend MLG if they so desired. So in simple words: They can invite whatever player they so desire to, i just think those invites should be based upon placement in GSL's and not fame. I'm not entirely sure whether we are talking pass each other. MLG Columbus: First time appearance of KR players via invites. Invites have been given out to a number of players, of which 4 of them resulted in present list of participating KR players. Reasons for other players not participating: partly unkown. Arbitrary? Yes. Huge deal? No, since it is one-time only. After MLG Columbus: No invites. KR players will be seeded in MLG upon their finish in GSL. So what exactly is the issue? | ||

It's a fair trade even despite somewhat unfair changes to native Koreans. I would say MLG is almost the same as Code B, if not a bit harder. There are 256 players I believe in live events, not to mention there are championship pools. Naniwa proved that he himself was able to make it through. Other than that, it's a good deal, and many aspiring foreigners would love to take in on this opportunity. I hope KiWiKaKi is sent to Korea, he can really show them some stuff! And as TT1 pointed out, MLG seeds like him feel slighted at Koreans just being invited into the top seeded groups without having to qualify or play the open bracket. Just as I'm sure some Koreans will feel it's unfair that foreigners take Korean Code A & S spots without having to go through normal process. It works both ways and it's either totally fair or it's unfair in different ways to both parties. No single party is getting shafted. | ||

I can't wait for MLG Columbus, since I live in Columbus. The only thing that could make it any better would be if Brawl were still on the circuit! Also, I think its completely fair. Being in GSL is about the equivalent of being a top 16 seed at MLG. I think its fair to say that we have reached the point where for the first time, MLG isn't just a Halo league! | ||

As for foreigners getting a spot in korea, I don't know if many will want to really. Having to live in korea makes it really hard and it is not like code A has good earnings, there is a reason Idra moved back even though he was still in code S. Also who cares if this is fair? It is a given in ANY respectable sport that placement for tournaments isn't exactly fair. Tennis tournaments have wildcards, the host nation of the world cup is automatically qualified etc. Inviting players that may not have proven themselves to give a more representative player pool of the world is a good thing. If those players suck they don't win anyways... The players in the pools do have a much bigger shot of winning MLG but that is just a flaw of the MLG system which is a bit unfair and odd. | ||

STEP YO GAME UP, SON!!!!! The Koreans are better because they practice on average significantly more then non-korean "pros" and their practice schedule is much more rigid and strict. Maybe NA "pro" players should follow a more strict and efficient practice schedule (of course there are those that do and they will be the successful players in the long run). The Koreans treat sc2 as a job, they take it seriously. Don't be scared, homie! NA players get a bad rap, I hope they do well. | ||
