Is ST Rainbow allowed to play? He's not active in the community and I thought that was the rule around here.
Masters Cup rule is: International/non SEA players are welcome, but they must have shown they are active on the SEA ladder, eg. ST.KingKong (yChSPR/gts), SoulmanfOu (Master), Slayers_Dragon
His SEA account is not in the required league, so he is unable to play in this Masters Cup, but if he ladders, then welcome in future ones.
