You prepare for stong player that have good chance you will face in ro 8 or so. If you are a good player, you will most likely not need to worry about other random players til the ones you will face higher up. Besides, most of those strong players play in gsl anyways, so it's not much waste of preparation.
Most of the koreans at MLG can only go to these events because they are no longer playing in GSL. whether being knocked out of code S, or at round 2 of Code A, they rather go to a foreigner tourny with less strong players to try to win some moolah.
