Agree with sheep. Most likely they get the gauge of better teams from previous World Tourney, so they think no point pay the flight tickets for those teams which most likely will not make it to the final.

Or maybe no sponsor for the flight tickets of msian team.

maybe look at it from another angle - last year we buy BF2 for RM119 with free poslaju, free bf2 poster and mousepad. Now paying RM105 (with poslaju) and get a tin can and mobile strap. So you are actually paying RM14 less - this is how I console myself to get the deluxe version
