Source: NASL

It appears that some unfortunate scheduling problems have occurred in the April 13th NASL match between (P)White-Ra and (Z)July. As a result, July has been awarded a 2-0 forfeit victory in their match. NASL explained the decision as follows:

We hope this post will explain our decision to award a forfeit win to July. White-Ra informed us that he would be at the Dreamhack Invitational on Tuesday April 12th, which conflicted with his NASL game vs July. We knew there would be a problem only if he made it to the final, which he did.
I asked the Dreamhack organizers if they would keep one computer up for White-Ra to play his match, and they declined, understandably, as they had to pack up their equipment and shut off the internet. We discussed postponing it, but that is something we really can’t do with such an aggressive broadcast schedule.

SjoW had a similar situation to White-Ra as he was also participating in the event. SjoW informed us that there was a LAN center close by to the Dreamhack venue that the matches could be played from. SjoW managed to make arrangements to show up in order to play his match. After two emails and a phone call to White-Ra, I heard no response.
After four hours of waiting, we gave July the choice to take a free win or reschedule. Understandably, July chose to take the win, after waking up at 4:00 am to play his match and waiting patiently for 4 hours for White-Ra to become available.

Because we had been in communication with White-Ra, we extended our 45 minute grace period to 4 hours. We are very sorry to both White-Ra, July, and the fans for this situation but it would be unfair at this point to allow a reschedule after July waited so long.

This is... unfortunate.

It's a shame more couldn't be done to work out the schedule (not saying NASL is responsible since they clearly tried to contact Whitera multiple times). I thought all these big tournies were going to go out of their way to not step on eachothers toes?

A 4 hour wait period seems more than fair.

This is where that refundable deposit comes in for the league right? Wonder how much he is going to get fined.

Well it's hard for NASL seeing as how it's on pretty much every day. Plus white-Ra obviously didn't expect to make it to the finals.
Woah guys, this is where it gets tricky. Because right now we're behind in every conceivable aspect [...] The only thing we're not behind in is micro. Right? We got tons of that shit.

Unfortunate, but understandable. I was really looking forward to that series.

Good thing it is only one series in 10.

Probably not too much, White-Ra had to probably take a flight right after Dreamhack while Sjow lives in Sweden iirc. Sucks we don't get to see those two clash but oh well plenty of other games!

It's really unfortunate, but I agree with the decision.

July waiting for 4 hours also shows he wasn't just wanting an easy win, he was open minded, good guy :}

This seems reasonable =(

Too bad WhiteRa didn't notice the LAN center =(

Perfectly adequate reasoning. Hope this won't turn into a shit storm like most things do on the internet.

Incoming people that hate on July because he "is too scared" to play against WhiteRa.

Yeah, it's unfortunate but its only one match out of many great games to come in the NASL. It's always going to be difficult with players from different corners of the world.

Too bad! But completely understandable on the part of NASL; I think this was a fair decision.
You'll worry less about what people think about you when you realize how seldom they do.

Yeah that's really sad. I suppose these things happen though. Didn't... Kyrix? Or maybe it was MarineKing... someone showed up really late for their GSL match in like GSL2 and they nearly gave it to the other person.
