People have different opinions on TL forums, some want to see the highest level of play whenever possible (Kespa players) others want to root for the home team. So yes some people don't like Koreans come over and roflstomp foreigners but others don't mind. Personally if I had my way I'd rather just see Kespa players playing in all tournaments since I don't really care about watching foreigners trip over themselves, foreigner vs foreigner is just not as impressive or exciting. The highest level of play you talk about occurs only between top players themselves aka OGN style.There is no high level of play involved in an Innovation vs any foreigner simply because they are not on the same level.A rolfstomp isnt high level of play.Its just boring.Btw what was the last "high level of play match" you saw between a top kespa player and a foreigner.I can't seem to remember any.
I'd rather root for an underdog against someone who's actually high skilled than an underdog against another underdog. I mean, even though Koreans won virtually all the MLGs, it was still exciting to see players like Huk, Demuslim, Naniwa etc. make deep runs and occasionally place very highly. It also made the viewer realize that foreign Sc2 wasn't completely irrelevant.

Wow this lineup looks almost as weak as Dallas 2010. Well Suppy... if you're going to win something, now's your chance. That mlg was actually more fun that the one which were rolfstomp by the likes of life and leenock If I want to watch underwhelming players not get "roflstomped" by the likes of life and leenock i'll watch shoutcraft America, thank you. And besides, they are still likely to get "roflstomped" by the likes of HyuN, HerO, Violet, etc...
Violet is the most entertaining korean in sc2 history.hero is a legend in the foreign scene and represents TL and has a good fanbase.They are korean,entertaining as hell and have a good relationship with the foreign scene.and also they sometimes lose against talented foreigners so we might see some upsets  .

After about the 4-7th time that it was all Korean rounds of 8 or higher, I got a little tired of it. With the top heavy prize pool, it got to the point where the only thing that mattered was which Koreans MLG flew over to play. If EU can be fun to watch, so can NA.

I hope the people saying "this isn't a good lineup" aren't the same people who say "top 8 korean? I'm done watching" 
This looks like a good chance for some lesser names to make something happen.

But according to this list
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2013_MLG_Spring_Championship
Huk demuslim and naniwa are still coming.So you will be able to see them against.So whats your point then?Btw when was the last time Huk,Naniwa scored a major upset.At least this time they have a COMPETITIVE chance.

I can almost bet this mlg will reach over 100k viewers in the finals and all of the haters will be cheering for the foreigners or violet.

Well, I'd obviously love to see Flash, Innovation, Soulkey, sOs, Life etc etc etc. But actually the player pool looks good :D
Polt, Dragon, Catz, Demuslim etc will be fun :D (in my own opinion, of course)
And It'll be nice to see how these Kespa guys (who aren't flash or Innovation) fare :D
Probably dominate, but upsets are part of the fun!

MLG ID's are permanent though. It's not like someone could steal Tyler's ID because he's had it since 2010.

Go Binski. Former LighT players rising up!

There's literally not a single player in that list which im interested in :\
Edit : Oh well, theres Hyun and Hero that I somehow read over.

My fault then, never seem something about MLG ID's and assumed its just the standard username.

Well Mc is sort of retired.MVP could have been there but after the awsome wcs matches doubt anyone would have stood in his way.Dunno if prime can afford the trip for MKP and Flash and Innovation why would you wanna see then rolfstomp everybody

Fake YellOw anyone? Yeah and it's frigging annoying. I saw a guy post here under WhiteIdrA and I think he casts as well? I don't know guys. I think you can add a little slice of creativity to those nicknames because some are just meh and then I look at my i.d. and I just go ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I must have been listening to AC/DC at the time or something when I made this one.
