Maybe some koreans (PuMa, viOLet etc) will fight for NA/EU slots while I don't think that any foreigner can compete for Korean slot (unless NaNiwa prooves me wrong).
I don't think Naniwa is going to prove you wrong. He's already qualified.
I hope for the same players in the final as last time OC. Although I hope that Chill will be able to cast throughout the whole matchup this time without any technical probs anyway it's going to be great :D

I sure hope you are the only one who thinks that way. You haven't watched TSL3, have you?
Yeah, without the Koreans TSL3 wouldn't have been near as epic. If you take out Fruitdealer and MC out of Thorzain's path to the final it wouldn't have been nearly as much fun. The only problem with that tournament was that they couldn't hold a Korean qualifier, which they have fixed for this one.
Though I hope they hold enough qualifiers for the bo1's not to play too large of a part as they sadly often did last time (or if they use a different format)

Sure there are. I have a few friends that plays and watch starcraft that would be quite confused if I said there were part of the TL community when they haven't made a single post here.

Yes, you are alone in thinking that way.
Not with this qualification system, there will be a lot of foreigners so it's fine. Though you're getting a lot of rage from players that never knew the sc1 scene I believe (the awesome tl.net tournament, I can't remember it's name, was foreigner exlusive)
TSL3 was the tournament that opened my eyes to both the playing aspect (I faced pro's in the weeklies) and spectating. I'm super excited to both watching more amazing play, and to willingly offering myself up to pro's to be raped!
