All the walk over occurred with top Protoss players (White-Ra, Naniwa and MC) Joke aside, NASL should seriously do something about things like that. For example, shuffle around the broadcasting dates of games. | ||

This is getting to be too much. NASL wants to maintain their integrity as an organization by being firm with this stuff, but they are accomplishing the opposite. By having 3 matches so far not even happen, they are really hurting their prestige. So far, the following huge names haven't been able to play their matches: Naniwa July WhiteRa MC These players in specific were quite the hype-creators. If the NASL doesn't bend its rules to accommodate a player in the event of this happening again, I'll be extremely disappointed. The NASL needs the players just as badly, if not MORE than the players need them. There are a lot of other tournaments going on with big names, so the NASL is really hurting its image compared to these other tournaments by missing out on these big names playing in their league. I know they have a tight schedule and that there are reasons this happened. But the NASL can change that. I bought my NASL ticket, and although Moon vs Grubby alone was able to make it worth it, I sure as hell expected a lot more. I realize it is easy to play the blame game, but that isn't even the biggest issue here. It is in NASL's best interest to have all these super hyped games played. Even though players need to be more responsible, without these really hyped matches, the NASL is hurting its self. | ||

The players signed a contract, they didn't show or in this case they where unable to show due to most likely an Act of God due to weather causing a flight delay. The NASL works on a tight broadcasting schedule trying to give a lot of great games in a short amount of time ie casting/recording the day before broadcast(2 days as of next week if I am reading the rescheduling right). What do you expect them to do? Seriously, they don't employ a wizard to control everything to work out perfectly bad luck happens. Stop blaming NASL for it. It's childish as best and at worst it's just.. unfathomably foolish. It does suck to see the game not played but that's the only thing to be upset about. | ||

Unless the rule only applies on the day you play a major tournament. | ||

They shouldn't bend the rules. The players should avoid these happenings. But shit like this happens. The rescheduling has already changed to allow for a +1 variance to help out with stuff like this. NASL is new for everyone including the players. I'm sure this will be a rare occuring after the first week | ||

I'm sure this will be a rare occuring after the first week Yeah, I know where you're coming from, and you're right. My point was simply that currently, there has been too high a % of really big matches that just didn't happen. Not to say it was a majority or anything, but too many of them. There is still the concern of having enough big awesome matches that are worth paying for. Those could have been some amazing series that inspired a lot more people to buy season tickets. Or they could have been games that kept some people interested and buying a season ticket again. They need to be verrrrrrry careful at this point. Even if it isn't their fault, it is in their best interest to try to find some way to make this not happen so much. They have a lot to gain by having all these awesome matches actually happen. | ||

I get it. They have a tight broadcast schedule, and they can't reschedule easily. The problem is that these happenings due to NOT accounting for imperfect timing and unfortunate delays is the result of bad scheduling. The strictness seen so far is as ridiculous as if Day[9] decided to do a show every hour and a half. NASL is too much about quantity rather than quality at this point. Rescheduling in a reasonable case is expected of nearly all large organizers. Things happening outside of their control is no excuse for what is in control (pun completely intended :D). | ||
