I'm surprised Moonglade declined.

I guess though he could qualify for the next code A via MLG. And maybe it's a contractual obligation to attend MLG, I think a few players have stuff like that.

I don't keep track of all the tournaments that are currently on-going or planned in future, but how many of them actually require you to be physicall present at the tournament location? I've heard MLG and Dreamhack as examples, but it just seems puzzling how GSL Koreans have no problem (or rather eager) to go abroad to attend these MLG's and Dreamhack's of world, yet foreigners can't if they are to stay in Korea?


Because deciding on living in a country on the other end of the world is an easy decision to make, right?
The koreans live there anyway, then go aborad to MLG for a weekend and come back home.

As a foreigner it's a huge commitmend to go there and additionally you pretty much give up playing in foreign (especially European) online tournaments.

Also plane tickets aren't handed out for free at the airport.


Haven't read it yet but I guess this sums it up:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=224111



How does living in Korea equal to giving up on playing online tournaments? lol

I think the one thing most of people are forgetting is that GSL is not run by someone with a lot of money for his own pleasure or enjoyment, but rather it's a 100% business-oriented operation. If you are not a dedicated programmer, then you really don't belong in the GSL, period.

Secondly, you don't just come into Korea (for GSL) planning on only living for one month and take off. You have to invest yourself for the long term, like Jinro, Huk, and Haypro did, and work hard to get that goal you desire. Sometimes it pays off (see Huk), sometimes it's still on-going (Jinro) while other times it just doesn't work out (Haypro). Investing yourself in the long term will allow you to enjoy other online tournaments while your main focus is on the GSL.



Because eu servers are unplayable from korea? And even playing on na can be a gamble it seems.. The tl guys barely played any foreign tournaments from korea, and now they dont play in the eg masters thing

And all the other points you made... Sure i agree, but your previous post made it look as if it was an easy decision to make for a foreigner to live in korea for a single tournament

This looks great.

But looking at player pool kinda makes you aware of the discrepancy between the races. Z looks pretty weak except July, Nestea and Losria. A couple more good tosses and so many monster terrans ^^. Too bad for HuK with a pvp in the first match. It isnt his strongest, then again it isnt Sans either.

Over all: Awesome by Gom again. Every new tournament format they put out seems so awesome.

Super excited for this! Too bad there's so many Terrans in this tournament. I literally stopped watching any TvT match ups just because there's so many Terran players in every tournament recently that I'm tired of watching that mirror match up. Oh well, I'll be rooting for HuK, Jinro and NesTea!

Well, in theory the winner of code A is still only the 33rd best player in the GSL. Also, 15/32 mirror matches. This Ro64 is going to be awful.
