Depends on the people hosting the qualifiers doesn't it? As I understood it, it's up to them to pay for travel. | ||

I understand why Happy wouldn't want to attend such a tournament, but then he shouldn't have tried to qualify in the first place. Personally, I would've gladly taken a free trip to China for a little exotic holiday. | ||

The reasons Happy gave seem totally legitimate to me, it does however seem pretty untactful. You don't want to go, that's okay, but to essentially say "I don't want to go because your tournament is garbage" when a simple "personal reasons/prior commitments" would've done the job. WCG may be a poor-mans tournament now (considering it's supposed to reflect the grandeur of an international tournament), but for the last decade it was pretty much the best annual tournament for Broodwar and many other games and one of the very few (only?) esports supporters in the foreign scene. So yeah, it's a shame, at least let it die with some dignity. WCG is still a big deal for Koreans, representing your country is a big honor. | ||

Kinda funny that WCG is trying to act all tough about it. Good luck trying to attract the best players to the qualifiers next year if turning down a spot is "penalized". | ||
