Conflicts are only going to get worse by the looks of it. With new LAN's and tournaments popping up seemingly every week now, plus exsisting ones, it can only get harder to be everywhere at once. Looks like players are going to start having to pick and choose what they compete it.
Lee Jae Dong proved that a focus on mechanics and execution could solve problems in the StarCraft game strategy.

Edit as well: Players will have to start picking and choosing or reeeeally getting good at scheduling games properly for various events. People wont be able to compete in every tournament or league, and that's just a price to pay to stay in some of the bigger leagues.

Its the team managers job.
I bet Nazgul is already on the line discussing the issues with NASL staff.

I fail to understand how MLG can conflict with NASL. Can't MLG players play their matches from MLG ? I guess MLG staff will be glad to provide one or two PC for NASL players, there is a lot of downtime for players to play a bo3. (I could be missing something here)

And yes there are a lot of matches played, but remember that each player only play ONE bo3 a week. If they can't schedule one bo3 a week, they can't be called progamers either.

typical Naniwa - i am very dissappointet that he again manages to be that "unprofessional" - to say it in kind words ...

How can he say "i cannot play now, wait for me" and then taking a laddersession, while the NASL and Strelok are waiting and rescheduling theyr butt off for him. Thats really bad manner - i totally agree with Strelok and i expect the NASL to punish that kind of behaviour way harder for their own sake.

They dont even have PC's for their players ^^;

I don't know how you arrived at the conclusion that committing to NASL means not participating in other tournaments. Sjow managed to play his NASL match while still participating in Dreamhack. Fact is, players need to take responsibility for what they do. NASL's job is not to be the personal secretary of all 50 players and build the tournament around THEIR schedules.


Previously to changing the rules you HAD to be present for a CERTAIN time slot 9 WEEKS IN A ROW. You can't commit to that without avoiding other events. Actually final DH game overlapped with a specific timeslot -- the timeslot for White-Ra vs July game. And up until this time NASL declined White-Ra for rescheduling. Sjow got eliminated long before he needed to play (and even finals would end long before he would need to play). It doesn't seem to me that White-Ra could do anything prior to game to change the situation -- so he made a decision to choose Dreamhack and was told he will get a def. loose.

You act like participating in a league is a RIGHT. It's actually a privilege and a choice. Simple rule of thumb for players: Don't sign up for two conflicting events if you are unable to somehow make it work. How is that unreasonable in the slightest? If the players who had game postpones/automatic forfeits were random nobodies, would you even care to post on their behalf or defend their position? Doubtful.


How reasonable is to predict that during 9 weeks you will not be participating in a LAN during a very specific timeslot?

Yes, I don't care about random nobodies. But I do care about the fact that HuK and Jinro decided to not participate. I do care about the fact that White-Ra and Tyler need to choose between NASL and offline tournament.

Participating in $100000 league is a privilege, but if the league allienates all the good players, it will not stay relevant.

Okay, I am only trying to interpret this cryptic message. Here it goes:
In Naniwas case:

+ Show Spoiler +
"There was also an issue while trying to film the first game of the day, Strelok-Naniwa."

NASL messed up and they couldnt play on the scheduled time.

+ Show Spoiler +
"At first Naniwa asked if we could reschedule for a different day. Naniwa then asked for time to rest before the match as he had been traveling."

Naniwa wanted to reschedule and some time to rest as he had been traveling.

+ Show Spoiler +
"Meanwhile we asked Strelok and his manager if that was OK, Strelok agreed to wait."

They reschedule (i think?)

+ Show Spoiler +
"Naniwa had not logged in to the player channel and did not see this message."

Naniwa dont get any info about the rescheduled match?

+ Show Spoiler +
"bla bla laddering bla bla"

Naniwa play on the ladder because he didnt get a response? (why doesnt NASL contact him at that point?)

+ Show Spoiler +
"However, we could have communicated better and will not be penalizing Naniwa"

Naniwa didnt get any info and dont know about the new match -> No penalty for him.

In the case of Whire-Ra:
Afaik, White-Ra did know about the match, NASL had communicated it to him, but when they were supposed to play White-Ra doesnt show up and doent answer anything (probably on a plane?). July has to wait for 4 hours. Whate-Ra gets a penalty.



I do not know if this is the correct interpretation, but this is what I was able to make out of it at least. I think the wierd thing here is that Strelok did get a win. It looks to me like a reward from NASL for "waiting" for a match NASL screwed up on? It might be fair in the Strelok vs Naniwa case (but again naniwa didnt know?) but doesnt look fair to the other players in the group... :/
Hope Im not labeled as some kind of hopeless Naniwa fanboi or something now Am I the only one interpreting it this way?

Dang... I read the title and was hoping that they decided to air the games a few hours earlier. Do the west coasters that created the NASL realize that their show is going until almost 2am EST?

Sure they do, but what do you want them to do, shift it 3 hours earlier so it starts a 3PM PST/6PM EST while everyone on the West Coast is still at work/getting home from school/etc? The start time of 6:00PST/9:00EST (I'm in EST) is about as good as you're going to get when it comes to people being able to watch the live stream.

It's definately possible that naniwa was at no fault from the information at hand. The information has been scarce and at least to me confusing though.

NASL took responsibility for the Naniwa thing based on their view of how their communication went and modified the schedule to help accommodate matches in the future. Maybe they'll unpenalize White-Ra just as a show of good faith regarding the scheduling. Either way its early in the league and just part of working out the kinks of it all. Nothing to be upset about.

Hehe...

Ppl arent seeing whats happening here.

NASL is Removing players for choosing to play in other Leagues.

WhiteRa chose to play in DH instead of NASL... hes removed.

Nani has "communication" issues and is rescheduled.

Really.... is it that hard to see?

Why not count then as forfeit wins and losses until the end of the season. Then in the last week you set up a match make up week where you can only make up X amount of matches so you do not affect rpi or whatever. Then if players X amount of forfeited matches disqualify them from finals.

I look forward to seeing July, NaDa etc getting removed for daring to play in the GSL then.
I'm not bad at Starcraft; I just think winning's rude.

please try and not be insanely sensationalist.

I will be at every MLG, IGN, TSL, GSl (that I qualify for) etc as will every other player in this league. We just need to communicate and work together to make sure all leagues get their matches played including the ambitious NASL. Each player plays once a week they know this NOW (potentially 9 weeks in advance) it is their duty to communicate the conflicts so we can work them out.

Stop trying to make a villain out of the NASL. We actually want to bring you amazing games... why fight us on that?

Great job for the changes really shows a lot about the NASL and the character of the people behind it. Good job with the impact control on allowing naniwa to be undefeated as it was a very difficult situation to deal with afterwards. I'm really impressed with the NASL.
Everything is self-evident
