The NASL format doesn't help either, the groups are too large and the league phase is too long. Its quite sad, the foreign scene has been waiting for a tournament like this and the players are doing their best to destroy the foreign scene before it even gets started. I hope the players that are ruining NASL fade into the background and are never heard from again, who is going to invite them to a tournament after this? | ||

They could certainly have harsher consequences but come on. | ||

It would be even better if other tournaments came out and said that they won't be inviting players who don't honor their commitments to tournaments they enter. | ||

It would have probably been better if they just gave players a week to play, cast from replays and just one observer with both commentators seeing the same screen. | ||

It's not like the guy that does show up doesn't get a win or anything. I don't get why you need a "ban for life" stance on No-Shows. The only person they're hurting is themselves. The viewers? | ||

It seems like this is an inevitable consequence of the format. People near the bottom have no incentive to play. Basically this part of the league is like a Regular Season in most sports, only without the salary. I couldn't imagine baseball players on weaker teams showing up to the 162nd game if they didn't have a salary. | ||

I guess people are saying it's because they're near the bottom? Still that's no reason not to show up. IIRC, the players have to make a deposit before the start of the league. Don't they lose that deposit with this kind of behavior? | ||

TBH I don't watch the NASL often and the snippets that I have seen didn't showcase any entertaining matches at all, but to see a new organisation suffer so many setbacks is pitiable. | ||

"MC's hanging around at 3 in the morning the week he has to take on epic jet lag Goody is no where to be found NASL even gets someone who knows Goody to call his Personal phone and again gets no response 2-0 W.O. For MC Goody" that sucks :/ | ||

MC's hanging around at 3 in the morning the week he has to take on epic jet lag Goody is no where to be found NASL even gets someone who knows Goody to call his Personal phone and again gets no response 2-0 W.O. For MC Goody If Goody gets any portion of his $250 back it is a travesty. | ||
