yup like it says NASL was told if whitera gets into the finals he couldnt play -.- so im pretty sure white ra assumed a reschedual

Nooo white ra, one of my favorite protosses :C
|
didnt the nasl claim to schedule around all large sc2 tournaments?
|
Good for Sjow, staying to the end of Dreamhack and still winning his NASL match over TT1.
|
Unfortunate, I was most looking forward to this matchup. Oh well.

Ah that's a shame, I was revved up to see what July could possibly bring to the table against this Protoss beast. I agree with the decision NASL made, albeit four hours seems incredibly excessive. Also I don't really like that the decision rested with July, as others have pointed out.
Shame but there will be more epic matches to come, without a doubt.

Did you not read the part where SjoW could have potentially been in the same situations but made arrangements to avoid it? And where whitera cut communication with NASL?

After becoming a huge White-Ra fan at Dreamhack i'm sad that we won't see him play in the NASL.
|
That's sad since they are two of my favourite players. I hope this doesn't cause bm between those players, they are both so awesome and friendly.

I specifically said... we can't postpone it. "April 11 @ 12:52 You can use laptop from SjoW -- he has I think. We cannot pp. =[[[ "

This is a league. Just because he forfeitted 1 match doesn't mean he is out. There are still 8 weeks left for him to win games and advance!
|
What is the prize pool of this first NASL? Exactly.. I'm surprised July woke up for it.
White-Ra always, always makes the most lucrative decisions. That is why he is still in e-sports at his age. He's got to maintain a woman and a house, you know.

i cannot understand how this should not be a nasl error? i mean it is their first season, so it's understandable. but as a professional league one should see these things coming (and they did apparently), and have the flexibility to avoid it with a good solution. Somehow playing with the laptob of another player in another location in a foreign country after beeing in the finals of a large tournament, which you communicate about during the tournament? Somehow it is a tournament which is not really live, and still can't even postpone a game when there is a very good reason? It's just not professional. You need to have a definitive solution a week before, not just pray he does not make it to the finals and then come up with a subsubpar solution.

Please use a spoiler tag in title.. atleast until the EU stream is over.
Thanks

Scheduling issues occasionally occur. I'm certain White-Ra was aware of the rules of such situations, and made the decision to go to the after party instead of trying to play his games vs. July. NASL did nothing wrong, and I think they gave White-Ra too much time, which probably wasn't fair to July.

Dreamhack is way more important than NASL round1 groupstage so I kinda understand whitera, but still cheers to the nasl organizers and july for waiting so long for him, I think good old Aleksey wont be mad about the match either.

So all of Europe could watch live as the casters announce that no July vs. Whitera games will be played?
Huh?

Can you postpone any professional sports games? "Hey I can't come to my Olympics games because I'm playing in NBA Summer league, can you postpone my Olympic game? Thanks"
Ya, that's not going to happen. Won't happen in real sports, won't happen at NASL.
