Don't understand why they just didn't reschedule the game when they knew White-Ra would be attending dreamhack. It seems like a bad idea to risk a situation like this if White-Ra would end up in the final. The decision would be more than fair if it came out of the blue tho, but NASL should have moved the game before hand imo.

And this is how NASL will lose fans, THEY SHOULD ALWAYS ASSUME THAT WHITE_RA WILL BE IN FINALS. SRSLY, WTF, reschedule that shit, this is one of the most anticipated games in this league. Dump of the other games with shity players.

Yup, they should just drop another match, just delete it, its not important in a league or anything.

No big deal considering White Ra can still take the whole division, and if he doesn't, he can still make top 16.

July woke up at 4am and waited for 4 hours. Save your disappointment; nobody cares about it when it's so unjustifiably expressed.

Dude Julyzerg like many other pros knows that the esport scene is all about the fans. Taking a free win is like saying screw you fans. He should have done the only thing in the book and that would have been a a match in another time. I promise you if the situation has been reversed White-RA would have asked for a rematch,

Sucks that this had to happened, but I would have done the same if I was in July's position. Yeah, there is a honor code and such, but if you wake up at 4 AM expecting to play a match and you end up waiting for 4 hours, then who wouldn't just want to take the win? NASL has a large prize pot and whatever it takes to win it.

July gets bonus points in my book for staying up for 4 hours. That right there just shows that the Koreans are taking this league seriously. Still disappointed but oh well, with the sheer amount of games we are getting every week its very hard to fault the NASL.
Love the league, keep up the good work.

Im not a troll and I dont care if he waited 10 hours that fault is NASL fault alone not white-ra. Again Julyzerg should have given the fans a good fight not taking the easy win out. But call me troll all you want if that makes you feel better.

White-Ra did not follow the rules and lost because of it. I am a HUGE White-Ra fan but this is pretty clear cut decision.

Unfortunate. White-Ra is one of my favourite players and I was seriously considering staying up till 2:30am to watch him and some of the other matches. Would have been a great match but it was the right decision. It's unforunate that Dreamhack wouldn't let White-Ra use a computer for a quick hour or hour and a half.

This is simply no ones but Whitera's fault. I am sure he is fine with the decision, if not then he needs to take some responsibility!

If theres someone to blame is NASL for putting the player in such a situation. They should have made the decision.

While I'm of course disapointed as I was really looking forward to these games I agree with how the NASL staff handled it.

On the one hand, the ruling is by the book and in that regard fair. On the other hand, NASL has looked like a Kafkaesque bureaucracy even from the application stage, going "by the book" instead of common sense and what's best, whenever there's an issue.

Not much can be said...I did lose some cash on a white-ra bet, but what can you do.
