Next time they will pay the cost of 4 new Koreans. The previous (MMA, Losira, MC, Moon) will have to pay for the travel cost themselves. | ||

It is sort of like if the GSL gave 6 Code S spots away to foreigners every new tournament. | ||

I honestly don't see a korean invite not making the top 16, so essentially, everytime we invite a Korean player, you're replacing a foreign player in the pool with a Korean player. It's way easier for them to get MLG seeding than others. Take July for example who had to go through the open bracket. He is an extremely strong player, on the level of the other 4 Koreans but because he had to go through the open bracket he wont get MLG seeding because it was harder. That was just July, think of the other players having to go through the Open players, all the foreigners. If MLG is going to continue to add Koreans into the Championship Pool, they need to add more than 4 pools. They should possibly make it 8 pools or we're going to have Korean players have a huge advantage in taking MLG seeding. They are already skilled enough to do it legitimately through the open bracket, now we're making it extremely easy. You're assuming Koreans will always come back, the assumption from MLG (who have far more info than you) is that they won't. Given how easilly all the Koreans stomped the championship bracket they'd have no trouble in the open bracket at all and would essentially ruin the open bracket system should they be placed there. | ||

I'd imagine their teams/sponsors would pay for their trip. If not, yeah, definitely not worth it except for the championship tourney. A lot of Korean teams are getting international sponsors so it would stand to reason they would want as much international exposure as possible and pay for the trip. Sending a player on a weekend plane trip is a lot cheaper than a lot of other forms of advertising. | ||

Don't forget Moon at #15, he's made way more money than MC has from WC3. Also traveled tons more, I'd actually be surprised if he doesn't show up. I can understand the worry of Koreans just dominating the tournament if they keep reserving 4/20 slots in the pools for them... I wouldn't mind if they just sent them to play in the Open Bracket, since they'll almost definitely plow through the ranks. Then again, that'd give the pool players even more of an advantage, given a free pass to avoid the sharks down below, lol. Like someone earlier said, they'd ruin the system for the Open Bracket players. I dunno... | ||

Nestea July Losira DRG Moon MVP MKP MMA SC Nada Boxer MC Alicia San Squirtle Ace How much would this suck to see a live event with these 16 players? Probably need to invite 4 non-Koreans like Idra, Huk, Naniwa and Thorzain. So is this the worst case scenario for MLG? | ||
