imo... Set the requirements to SEA Residence status and be done with it. This means, people like TargA and Frogmite, can play as they spend the majority of their time living in Australia or Singapore (respectively).
Then, in extreme cases, allow people with exceptional community involvement the privilege of participation, such as everyone's favourite French resident, Nemo. Someone that HAS don't alot for this community. I don't understand why people can't accept the non-SEA eligibility. This whole event is a SEA event, to build the SEA scene and SEA players.Not Koreans. No offence, I love the fact that Korean's are challenging the SEA ladder and giving SEA players high quality opposition. But this event, in my opinion, is for SEA.
This would solve all the issues about 100 games? 200 games? no, come and LIVE in SEA.
Blunt I know, and probably not a popular opinion, but this league is about SEA. Plus the debate can end, the players are not on the SPR roster, and the rosters are closed for this season.

Im with Chad here.
Anyone remember this lineup and how everyone disagreed with it? How many of the debated players are offically included in the line up now?
These Zenith guys have 3 clans afaik. One on their home server KR, NA and then now SPR. I know these becos one of the NA clan LG whom Bomba and some other zenith players participated in Clan wars tried to recruit me. Now im gonna assume most of the rest have their own clans on the KR server as well if not NA too. Some of these clans/teams claim to be ''Pro'' too, like the one soulman just joined btw. So the definition of not being on a 'KR Pro' team is very vague here.
So with the possiblity of incurring wrath, im gonna suggest the SEACL to be a 'SEA residents' only tournament. Why? Because this debate will never cease and new tournaments/Koreans will come along and it just goes on in cycles.
Yes while i agree that having these Koreans will raise the standard of play, but its foolish to think that they will increase ur viewership. If u want a tournament that has Koreans boosting ur viewership, call it the Clan League, not SEACL. Just like Dox cup 2, u can invite players + have an open bracket for sea players. And its not like every top SEA player doesnt have a KR account if they wanna have exposure and improve by playing with the korean players.
Can u guys imagine how stupid it is if i just get a random Korean GM to play some(100) games and then make a few post for him on sc2sea? Im not saying other SPR members are posting for them, im just saying its weird cos their english was never that good when talking to me in-game.
What happened to this being SEA's CL? I dont even know why SPR need these players. With players like Soulman, iSt, Soonghee and Sungin. Surely they have the talent to compete with the best of SEA? And how the hell am i suppose to know who is gonna play on Master's account cos thats like a clan shared account IIRC?
PS: This is solely my personal unbiased view. Not only am i good friends with Frogmite and Bryan, i also loves to play against these Koreans on ladder. However, this just isnt right for me.
