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!

The history of koreans playing in SEA tourneys leads way back to the early masters cups, don't think u were around then..but the rule got implemented after Soulman and KingKong won like back to back MC's (5 in a row). This is basically to stop that from repeating...

We will still have healthy competition with every 4th week being an international field, so you will still get to see SEA vs Foreign players battle it out.

Also Rossi went 2-0, 0-2, 1-2 ? That doesn't add up to 3-2. It's kind of retarded when you compare some korean to glade, since glade has actually been part of the SEA scene and community forever.

Umm.. I don't think that was the comparison he was going for...
