I see that all of the players on SOTG are a little upset about this, and it very may well be a little unfair for them, but i think it's a huge win for the viewers.

This is so cool! It'll be nice to spread out the talent out in both ways! I always like to see variety.

They just need to make being a code A player more worthwhile, not sure how they can make that happen where high code A isn't more benificial than being low code S but this is the biggest thing that seems to be holding people back.

Dont forget the one lonely Korean that we (CSN) are qualifying..

Poor guy feels completely overshadowed now. Someone better buy him a beer or something (assuming he is old enough).. whoever it may be

I am so glad i jumped onto TL.net before running out to soccer and read this article! This is big, big news. Cooperatives like this ensure that SC2 doesn't go down the same path as BW in terms of isolation in Korea.

This is really awesome! So, Naniwa to Korea?

Lol, I can't wait for IdrA to get one of the code A slots.

And really, this sounds absolutely awesome. The more foreigners that get seeded into Code A, the better. Plus, Koreans in MLG will raise the skill level even more. Nothing about this is bad at all.

I guess we will have to see. The part of them going to Korea will be harder. A wonderful opportunity for all. Just thinking in my head though. (Sorry if I'm not getting it)

4 in top 20 . MLG Columbus. However they finish 1st=100 pts 2nd = 90 ( just assigning random numbers) and so on

so next MLG those Koreans that showed up in Columbus if they return will only be seeded in the lower brackets according to their ranked points. Well except for the winner of course 1st place will he be in the Championship bracket still?

then the next one come for the next MLG 4 more Koreans in the Championship Bracket.

Once i have it typed out I'm actually cool with it. As long as it will go by their MLG points and not stay in the upper brackets.

Excited to see more Korea v. Non-Korean matchups. While a spot in Code A might not be the most glamorous prize, a one month vacation in South Korea during the summer isn't bad and I hope that some of the players will go to compete in South Korea.

This is so awesome! I absolutely LOVE the fact that tournaments from around the globe are coordinating these kinds of systems with each other and working together :D
