We will have our own announcement coming soon regarding the specifics of what we are doing with iG.. This announcement is premature and inaccurate. Sorry for the bad translation. If you are in cooperation, then you are in some kind of partnership, right? :D At lease this is my understanding in Chinese. It's just different from that TL-Ogs scenario, so it's a bit misleading here. Edit the op already and hopefully the mod can edit the title asap. GL to your cooperation with iG! | ||

If they want to qualify they go through the qualifiers like everyone else. Doesn't make sense. They don't live in korea | ||

Code A spots actually aren't that difficult to obtain anymore, with GSL's expansion from 32 into 48 players. Hell, guys like Rainbow qualified for Code A last season by beating a bunch of scrubs in the Code B qualifiers. | ||

Rainbow practices often and people in the code B qualifiers are at least top 200 in Korea, Calling any of them scrubs is rude and ignorant. Rainbow is not a bad player he is still pretty good and has been practicing a lot lately. | ||

Haven't you been reading? Why would anyone in their right mind pay the flight to korea with the off-chance of qualifing through a ridiculously hard qualifier? Even if you're one of the favorites to advance, your chances are slim. There aren't a lot of people who would do the qualifiers even though they might have the skill to compete in Code A. The financial hurdle is just way too big. Also I guess there aren't many korean teams that would let you live at their house if you're not in the GSL. I, for one, welcome this. I like some diversity in the GSL and look forward to seeing both of them. GL Xigua/MacSed! | ||

Like it or not, foreign players bring nationalistic viewers, which means Code A slots to foreigners is in sc2s best interest. | ||

I like some diversity in the GSL and look forward to seeing both of them. GL Xigua/MacSed! Thorzain, Sjow, Select, Grubby etc. (The Majority of the players that have been in Korea) didnt even go there to participate in the GSL, they went there to train. (Thorzain said this in an interview and so did SjoW in an interview, Select also stated that the he was going to Korea anyway it wasnt because of the GSL). Dignitas BlinG didnt have an invite but was supposed to stay in Korea (to bad he didnt find a place to stay). LastShadow, Major, Cytoplasm, SloG, ToD and nearly all other players besides Idra, HuK, Naniwa are there to PRACTICE not drop out of Code A through an unfair qualifying system (getting top1000 at MLG). Seriously that argument of yours was so stupid, since the majority of the players who go to Korea go there mainly to become good not show of sponsors in ro32 and then drop out and go home. | ||
