You realise the discussion isn't NA vs EU vs KR right? It's about balance between the two regions of foreign and korean. If you're talking about supposed "optimal play", it's 5 spots against 6. So by your own flawed reasoning, the foreigners get it better.

And when I say your reasoning is flawed, it's because you don't take into account the qualifiers were open. NA players can play reasonably well on any server. KR and EU players are also fine on NA. And half the top foreigners live in korea or americas anyway.


The reasoning is - Koreans were given 6 spots by default - 5 (ping)+1 invitation. Then they were given an extra 2-3 spots by organizing NA qualifiers at a time that no WCS players could play. Is this clear enough?

Last time I checked Elazer was a WCS player. How did he qualify without being able to participate in the qualifier?
