I can understand where you're coming from, but I believe in equality for all players, perhaps that is even a fault of mine.

I can guarantee you that many of the "Korean Pros" have played more ladder games than some of the low tiered entrants, who also do not post on sc2sea and almost definitely there are people playing "that we don't know exist or who they are". I'm not going to rehash arguments because it will make it go in circles but I believe rules should be applied to everyone, no matter if it's Nestea or a bronze league player, and I think they should be consistent, open, objective and transparent.

The rules could very well lead to the exclusion of "Korean Pros", and I don't even have a problem with that (although certain discussions are being had in the how to grow esports thread) as long as the eligibility is the same for everyone.

The obvious counter argument is that any lower tier is "just for fun" and doesn't have prizes associated with it. I personally see prizes as irrelevant, I want to compete for the sake of competing, I think the only thing that should change between Tier 1 and Tier 99 is the skill levels, not the competitiveness or genuinity of the competition.

Once more that may simply me seeing everything as equal to an extreme extent, but I'm afraid thats my opinion
