I think the same rule once applied to Koreans, applies to all who can make it to the grand finals, so White-Ra, Sen and what not will still get these benefits should they manage to make it to Grand Finals. | ||

Without a Code A invitation you could be locked into playing qualifiers for months (think about Bomber, DRG, MMA) before making it in. GOM has essentially cut off up to 2-3 months of expenses for foreign players by handing out Code A invites. Let's not forget that they also provide accommodation and even a direct Code S spot for MLG winner. If you think invites are so cheap, then why not suggest that NASL invites up to 8 Koreans directly to the Top 16 live event? That might just be more appealing to sc2con teams. Besides, the complaint about Code A was specifically that "it's not worth it financially". So nobody asked for invites, it was GOM who came up with that themselves. | ||

Asking for special treatment is not all that cool but at the same time when "your" players offer the highest lvl of play and this is the entertainment industry your really at their mercy...... Or you take a stand like NASL has and good for them. | ||

With 8 players NASL should be able to pay all travel expenses. | ||

One thing for sure is that travel is very expensive, and traveling from Korea is more expensive than from Europe or anywhere in North America. | ||

Why is NASL make it sound like its all Koreans need to apologize and should always come to USA whenever they call them. Koreans arent slaves. Perhaps NASL shouldve made better offer from the beganning not trying to test Koreans to see if they accept it or not. This is not Korean players but rather NASL's fault. I absolutely agree with you. The tone of this post from NASL seems very arrogant. NASL clearly wants to stigmitize the Koreans, isolate and decrease their relevance since NASL can't actually get them there. By stirring anti-Korean sentiments, by antagnozing them, viewers will feel "nationalistic" (consider all foreign countries as a nation in this case) and watch the NASL solely out of spite for the Koreans and sympathize for NASL. | ||

Yeah hey we will give you a $1000 in travel money and you will walk away with at least another $1000. Yeah NASL is treating them like slaves. They are treating them like everyone else. You think it was cheap for White Ra or Sen to fly into the finals? | ||
