We have decided to go for an approach where players can compete in the qualifier rounds for the region that they are currently located. We see value in having our Koreans abroad being able to compete against their peers on the American server as this will encourage the highest levels of gameplay from all sides.



We also encourage all of our foreigners who have gone to train in Korea to compete in the Korean qualifiers. Doing this removes the ping disadvantages associated with trying to play cross server and gives the spectator more outlets to see the always exciting foreigner versus Korean matches



The final reason we decided to arrange regionality this way is because there are always a few players who are left out by a strictly region locked system. For example, most region locked tournaments would not have a place to include players like PiLiPiLi or Sioras and there have been instances where Koreans living abroad who have fully integrated with their new region (Like MaSa and King Kong) are left out as well. With our residency based system all of these players would have a home region to play in and we encourage all of them to compete!



Note: In these examples, PiLiPiLi and MaSa will play in the Americas, Sioras and King Kong will play in SEA/Asia.
