Maybe your suggestion is obviously idiotic, and there's no way that lower tier Koreans would get picked up when there's so many other better players on the market. | ||

The list of teamless koreans extends much further than GMs that like to try Code A every now and again How does that change what I said? They're not good enough to get through online qualifiers consistently should the high level Koreans sign up (and if it's totally open, why not try to qualify for a weekender?). We're not in 2015 anymore where any of these guys would be favored to win against 100% of all available foreigners either. Flight & hotel to play open bracket and Dreamhack for those teamless guys? Teamless, they'd have to finish top 16 to make a profit. Sure, not impossible, but one bad day, one unlucky group away from it just entirely not being worth it. This is far less "fucking lower levels Koreans" than "making sure top level Koreans don't take all the money". | ||

Korean players just cost more to foreign teams and gain them less (unless they're at the very top). Reverting region lock doesn't help the low-tier Koreans you affect to care for one wit. | ||

After he loss in GSL Code S Ro32 he legit stopped playing so people need to stop mentioning him when he legit doesn't even attempt to qualify. This is his choice. http://aligulac.com/players/9866-DRGLing/ | ||

Unless your explanation would result in me having to explain how and why these events would look entirely different today. Because that's too much work. | ||

What tried to develop the SSL last year was good, but it lacked means unfortunately. Imagine an online Code B where the top 4 get as much money as ( or a little less ) the ro32 Code S players with the warchest money. | ||

He was very high on the Korean ladder and would crush people with silly builds when on the NA ladder. I look forward to seeing him back in the gsl when he regains his form! One of the most memorable gsl series' for me was him against Solar where Solar drone rushed him a second time after failing the first time, predicting correctly that supernova would float his cc to the gold base. Good times. | ||
