Respect to July for waiting so long. If i got up at 4am and the 45 min grace period was over i'd go back to sleep.

Sorry about not seeing that match, since i was hoping for a good game between those two, but honestly i think this decision is correct from a buisness PoV.

I hope we won't see these type of scheduling conflicts in the future. NASL should of scheduled the match a day or two earlier.

Tough decision, but consider the format of the tournament it isn't too horrible, it isn't like White-Ra got knocked out or something, he's just going to be starting from behind is all.

I guess White-Ra was too busy hanging out and drinking beer with cool Swedish fans and epic event organizers!

"We discussed postponing it, but that is something we really can’t do with such an aggressive broadcast schedule.".

I bet its the same situation with playing the matches earlier. Right decision. And mad props to July who stayed/woke up 4am and waited 4 god damn hours.

Did White-Ra BM again? Why not just go to the lan center and play his games like Sjow instead of going out and celebrating losing 3-2? Really rude to NASL and fans.

Obviously I'm a little disappointed that July took the win over a reschedule but realistically I can't blame him. Just an unfortunate event and nasl did what they had to. Don't quite understand why sjow got to the lan center and white-ra wasn't able to since they increased the grace period by three hours, but I imagine that there is a valid reason.

I can't understand why, when everything is prerecorded, there isn't more flexibility for the players to schedule their matches like in the TSL.

NASL should contact ESL and ask them how they deal with such things, since in a EPS (ESL Pro Series) there are no freewins given. I think in a professional league like this - a walkover should never be an option. Even with your aggressive broadcasting schedule there could be a better way to handle this. No offence to NASL , but thats my opinion.

I was really wanting to see this match too. Their choice is fair though, they waited more than enough time for a response.

It was within July's right to take the win but I think he should have allowed the reschedule as a gesture of good faith.

I wonder how many other players would choose it.

To be fair we dont know what happened, do we? There is probably a good explanation.

And did you just call WhiteRa rude? What...
