Moved this drama from the registration thread so it doesn't derail it.

This is not really "open to discussion" its more of the rule we have already set and what you should have been aware of when you submitted your lineup. Rules might be tweaked slightly but this is the stance we have.

This competition is made for SEA players as we want to give more coverage to them and encourage new emerging talents. We all believe you're strong players but we prefer to make sure SEA Clan League remains SEA. We don't refuse koreans, we just refuse players that we never see around casual times.

Admins will decide which players are allowed to compete in it or not. Hope you understand.

This is my definition which would be a guideline on what admins consider when granting special consideration.

1. SEA residents (tgun, shuffle, a bunch of NA teams who aren't active on SEA but their citizenship gives them automatic rights)
2. Non-SEA residents but long time players of the server (salvation, soulman, targa, frogmite <even admin!)
3. Active members on SC2SEA and in our community. (Nemo, frogmite, etc)

If players meet just ONE condition they would probably be granted permission to playl. For example many players in SEA don't even meet 3 because they are the lurker type and don't post much but that is fine and they can still play in our tournaments.
