They need to realise that playing through Code A qualifiers, then going through up and down matches isn't the only way to get into Code S, that you can win other tournaments (that Koreans already attend anyway), and qualify... Idiots...
EDIT: Not the best example, but take IPL for instance. There's certain qualifiers prior to the main event, and an entire open bracket system where the non-invited players, or the ones who didn't qualify online have to play through.
Sure. They just need to spend a few thousand dollars for the plane ticket to Europe/USA as well as food & accommodation there, and heck, all this just to enter a competition that they may or may not win. Surely if they want it that badly, what's a measly $3000++, aye?
