please re-play and raga4ka, try your hardest to refrain from being retarded. the reason why we have not allowed chinese to participate from mainland china is not that we hate the chinese, it is that in literally every single competition involving chinese and other nonkoreans in the past couple years, there have been problems relating to lag. these problems are extremely problematic to deal with for the players, it makes game-quality decrease and ultimately everybody suffers.

we have however stated that if the chinese players can assure us that they will be outside china for the entire duration of the play-offs, they will be allowed to participate on the same grounds as everyone else. thus, our motivation is obviously not racism towards the chinese, but wanting to avoid our tournament being harmed by lag - which is impossible to avoid if they had stayed inside china.

this is no different from FIFA having stadium requirements. if a football team in the champions league wanted to play their games here : then they would not be allowed to do so either, because it would be very difficult to play top level football there. chinese-nonkorean lag does the same with starcraft.
