Once again to reiterate for you fine folk: Dreamhack was over by the time the match was set up to go. How do I know this? Because NASL was asking Dreamhack to not pack one PC for White-Ra to use, they declined because they wanted to get everything packed to get out of there.. | ||

The only thing I regret is that I spent the better part of this week advertising the 'awesome matches that you /have/ to watch from these beastly players' to all of my non starcraft playing friends. We even set up a lan / nasl viewing party for Friday night [and tbh, that's harder than it sounds in a not so prone to 'watch people play videogames' country, :D]. With Friday being called off, the night will now be spent playing quake3. Which sucks since it was a good chance to get these guys interested in SC2. Shit happens. Keep up the good work! | ||

NASL, though not a LAN, should be considered VERY important for its players. I can understand White-Ra choosing a shot at $15k over playing his NASL round #1 group match match, but everyone else has VOLUNTARILY signed up for a tournament that is scheduled to give away more money than any individual GSL so far. If anything this year of competition has shown is that there is a lot of parity at the top levels of play and every match is going to matter if you want a shot at the big money after the group stages. Giving Naniwa 0 points makes no sense. Because of this, I think its a serious mistake for any player that is offered a forfeit to not take it. He should be given a loss according to the rules, or NASL should have a rule regarding makeup matches. It's only been 2 days and already 2 matches have had no-shows, and both have been handled very differently. tl;dr: NASL needs to enforce its own rules, else it risks its credibility. Players need to respect the league and learn to manage thier schedules and prioritize this league. | ||

Bite the bullet and award Whitera a 0-0 or Nanawi 0-2... Naniwa contacted NASL and asked for postponing. WhiteRa just didnt show up at all. Its beyond me what is so difficult to comprehend there. Guess its just fanboyism that hampers the thinking process. | ||

Secondly, I guess this will help, but don't know how one day will be able to solve all conflicts. MLG and all are pretty long events, and I can't see how the White-ra situation can't be avoided if the organizer doesn't decide to make an exception for the player. Seems pretty flimsy atm imo. | ||

They were ready to postpone the WhiteRa game a few hours. If I got it right, it would have been suficient to wait for 1 hour so that WhiteRa could complete the final. NASL waited even 4 hours, but WhiteRa simply did not show up / contact them even after his final was done. | ||

The quality of the streams has been exceptional, while slightly laggy here and there on the first night, for the most part it has been excellent quality and worth watching every game. The VODs have been excellent to watch on my widescreen minitor it looked as perfect as if I were actually watching a replay with commentary. Thanks for your hard work gentlemen! | ||

As far as the clash with like a third of NASL with MLG Colombus... NASL knew ahead of time (they stated repeatedly) about MLG's scheduling, and were planning around it. If they don't have a plan, then they lied in their hype. That's more of a parallel matter though of course. NASL HAS to play hardball on their rules. It's unfair to the players such as Strelock and July who show up and wait, and are patient, and cut their opponents slack, when their opponents don't show up, their opponent SHOULDN'T just remain 0-0. They lost, because they didn't show up. If it's scheduling conflicts, it's NASL's job to either attempt to reschedule people, or award a game win/loss appropriately. So far one player has a loss which some think is unfair, one player has a 0-0 record which some think is unfair, and the lack of consistency hints a lack of professionalism. NASL needs to sort out their inconsistencies, and sort out lower quality VODs, and they will be everything they want to be. But currently they're falling short, and while I'm sure they're learning from it, they need to learn a lot faster, before the number of potential "I was seeing how it went before buying" customers disappear forever. | ||

Just punish him 2-1, if they don't want to levy a heavier reprimand. | ||

It essentially means Naniwa only has to play 8 games which depending on the situation, can actually favor him. Just punish him 2-1, if don't to levy a heavier reprimand. Yeah, I think this can actually cause a shit ton of complications later on in the group stage. Dunno how they're gonna do tiebreakers with this situation. | ||
