I think a challenge is great and all but when you're dealing with these really tough korean players every local tournament i feel it really disinterests me from competing, its no longer a contest of whos the best in SEA or australia or whatever but it adds this super opponent from korea, now saying all this i don't play in sea tournaments that often, but when i see results and its either soulman or the other guy winning them it makes me sad and uninterested.
There is a place for playing top koreans and thats international tournaments, and you should qualify for them by winning your region, not beating your fellow sea players and then a korean at the end like those iem qualifiers it seems..
Doesn't do good for the community the tournaments or the motivation of aspiring sea players, but thats just my opinion ^o^
