GOM would probably push it back/forward. December is a pretty open month besides maybe Blizzard Cup, so I wouldn't be surprised if TSL makes it that that they push the finals back a week.

If that's the case why aren't Polt and Monster attending DreamHack Winter/Sniper attending IEM Singapore this weekend? They all qualified for their respective events... @_@

GSL was specifically moved to today so that GSL players could participate in Dream Hack. But I don't know if NASL would be 'big enough' for GOM to notice.

Money for the former two, GSL for the latter.

What kind of chairs exactly? Crappy plastic garden chairs, or actual ones? Some people in the LR threads were complaining about the chairs quality at the WCS finals.

I can't help but feel like they are shooting themselves in the foot with the price of $60. Obviously if you are traveling to NASL from outside of California the ~$30 isn't that big but some people in the area that could drive from home will see it as a deal breaker. Also the amount of games for the cost seems a little steep. Wish em luck.

I went to NASL 1 and 2. Had a great time at both and was sad to see see it go to Canada for season 3. However I'm not sure why it costs so much this season. For 2 ipl5 tickets and a $100 Stratosphere room its about $200(before taxes) but just the 2 Nasl tickets will cost me $140 (also before taxes)... Maybe it looks like vegas is the deal... Anyone know why it's so pricey this year?

MMA got the walkover over Stephano. Stephano couldn't make his match time and MMA elected to take the forfeit win.

That is terribly disappointing and a possible blow to viewer numbers -_-

?even Without forfeiting Stephano could loose and not making it to the wildcards...and even in the wildcards he could fall...
As a running champion his 4 4 record shows that he was not focussing on the NASL at all...
+ potentially we ll get Naniwa instead.

Because GOM and like 70+ people are leaving to Vegas in a few days for IPL5. They wouldn't be able to do the semifinals next week or the week after because of IPL5/GSL + Ro24 Code A right after that.

Sorry to be a negative nancy but I've got to echo and reiterate some complaints here.

Having only top 8 instead of top 16 in NASL 3's offline finals was a questionable choice, but at least it had WCS Canada and the CSL. This season has...? And when you've got IPL5 just 2 weeks before that has the GSL Ro4/Finals and the GSL World Championship at a $50 general admittance price tag, you've got to wonder about the $60 price for this.

Stephano getting walkovered and out of competion for this season's finals is a real shame. I suppose it's nobody's fault but his own, but still it's tough seeing him go out this season with 2 of his losses being walkovers, and the other two against players he's definitely better than on paper.

This season overall has been a scheduling disaster, so many walkovers and reschedulings. Did the NASL do something different this season about scheduling matches or were the players just uncharacteristically busy/irresponsible?

wait so the event is 2 weeks away from this weekend? 2.5 weeks from today? Isn't that a bit late to announce it since I don't think a lotta people can schedule for that so late apart from people who live closeby or already planned to go to NASL despite the dates and were just ready to book tickets anytime.

Just feels a bit late of an announcement for grand finals. Ro8 to finals is only 7 matches for $60 or $90...so $8.50~ per match or $13 per match for premium...That's a bit pricey...

Edit: 8 matches since i forgot about 3rd place match...but still pricey...
