Well it IS how it works. If you're not good enough (AKA you can't win the prelim) then too bad ;O It's not "nice" but hey he has a life too you know? He has to make money too. We don't know what his life is like, so we can't judge him like that. | ||

All this proves is that they are not ready to compete in the GSL. Anyone could have qualified in place of Hongun and lost 0-2 to MMA, there's no difference. | ||

First bold - It doesn't matter if those other Code B players "try". If they couldn't even beat HongUn, then they don't deserve Code A yet. I have friends that are grandmasters and high masters, and they try their very hardest and compete in tournaments. Does that mean that they deserve Code A spot? No. If that was the case, then there will be hundreds, if not, thousands of players in Code A because they "try". That's not how it works in the real world. Second bold - It's true that there are highly competitive professional players that are denied qualification. But, how is that HongUn's fault exactly? He has nothing to do with that. Have you ever thought that it's actually quite sad that those players HongUn beat in Code B can't even beat him? Imagine if HongUn was motivated. It's very simple, beat the competition to gain a Code A spot (unless a foreigner was invited for a spot). It doesn't matter who you're playing against. That is how reality works. | ||

I agree that rules are rules, and that players have to go through the procedures. That what could have happened is irrelevant. However, the attitude that's displayed by HongUn just doesn't agree with me. Personally. So there's no need to lecture me on what is "real" and what isn't. I'm not happy with it, but I'm not implying that HongUn wasn't playing at a high level, or that his skill and playstyle should not be respected. I'm not happy that he had to waste a spot, but that does not mean that I am saying that he should not have qualified. | ||
