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.

I think there is a much smaller skill gap than back in the early tournaments you are referring to.

When I was talking about Rossi, I was talking about his run in the Silcon Sports Cup. (you can't play 7 games in one tourny lol)

I really don't understand your last point. The argument with not letting Koreans join is that they win a lot of our tournaments and in some peoples opinion "steal our money". From my understanding this has nothing to do with how long they have been in the SEA scene. There is no need to use insults when trying to prove a point =/

My last point is fairly obvious, obviously ppl can't complain if a sea guy wins a sea tournament.
