I wonder how far she'll manage to go, wouldn't want this to turn out to be a damp squib in the end. Jim and Scarlett were seeded into the RO32 of the first SSL. Dunno if the RO32 counts in SSL anyways though. | ||

They were, however, seeded and didn't have to go through any qualifiers. But I guess it still has to count as participating in a StarLeague. | ||

Also, Scarlett moved there and lives there now. She is completely able and entitled to be playing in KR tournaments. No need to be a prick about it - she earned this. That said - Scarlett fighting! Excited to see a foreigner in GSL again. | ||

Not to mention casting this would take forever (even just half of it or only the qualifying matches). Because there's no Code A. They should have substituted it with the qualifiers. | ||

Koreans need a visa to play in foreign tournaments, scarlett doesn't. It's like MC, Yoda etc playing in WCS 2014 just that it's only allowed one way. I'm not saying she doesn't earn this but it's unfair that it's only allowed one way. The korean scene is already overpopulated if you just take the korean players, if foreigners take away some of the few spots it hurts the korean scene even more. | ||

You know, one of the reasons to cut Code A would have been to save money in as many ways as they can. If they're going to broadcast 32+ qualifying best of 3 matches they might as well have kept Code A. | ||

Scarlett was one foreigner to qualify out of 32 spots. If there was no visa requirement and koreans can just go to europe or america to play and win money, i daresay they could take up 50% or more of the 32 spots. So that doesn't hurt the foreigner scene?? | ||

Although in practice it isn't as much of an issue because of differences in structure. | ||

If you can get a visa and move to a foreign country, you can play WCS. If you can get a visa to live in Korea, you can participate in GSL. It's not that much different. | ||

It's not that much different. I've never heard of a WCS player who wanted to play in GSL but had to miss out most of the year because it took him 9 months to get a visa that allows him to stay in Korea long enough to play GSL. On the other hand, I have heard of TRUE. The point being, it's so much more difficult for a Korean to be allowed to play WCS than a non-Korean to be allowed to play GSL. | ||

I think part of the reason Neeb went back to the USA was because he couldn't overstay his visa, hence why he's not in this GSL. I could be wrong on that though. | ||
