It's semi-region locked, I can't remember the details but there's a quota as opposed to the blanket rule of 'open to anyone' last year. Also looking at all the notable drop-out from the RO512 it seems that jjakji is the only Korean of note actually attending the qualifiers. | ||

The player handbook states you must be a citizen or legal resident, and all non-citizens must get approval from the esports team at Blizzard by emailing them, so I would assume they did that, and jjakji is considered a legal resident. http://media.blizzard.com/sc2/media/downloads/WCS-Player-Handbook.pdf (page 7 points E/F) | ||

As the OP linked, if you are confused how the qualifiers work, read this: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=436104 Short version is that this qualifier is ONLY for EU residents. No Korean residents may attend. The reason jjakji can is because he has actually physically moved to be a full-time legal resident of Switzerland, same way Polt now resides in the US, etc. All non-EU residents can still try for EU Challenger, but they have to go through the "Wildcard Qualifiers" which give much fewer spots than the qualifiers for residents and have not occurred yet. So we'll presumably see YoDa, First, etc, trying out in those qualifiers. | ||
