I really disagree with the no foreigner rule. I remember when Balloon won the 6th Weekly, he didn't sign up for any more for a while because a lot people hated Koreans coming in and winning SEA tournaments. I however, think the competition and variety is great. Sure we saw Value demolish the Zergs in the last 3 tournaments he played in but Rossi went 3-2 against him in games. Its not like these tournaments attract the highest levels of Koreans. I just think its sad that when the Koreans win they're "stealing our money" but this accusation would never be made if mOOnGLaDe started playing (and winning) these tournys.
I respect the fact that this is your tournament now, Baldie, but I do hope you will reconsider this rule!
