I think its a good thing they are adapting to improve the quality of the tournament. Pushing broadcasting back a day leaves a lot more room for adjustment which I would guess should translate into higher quality.

The Naniwa situation just seems a little off to me. Too little information to judge really, but it honestly seems sketchy. Past performance is the best indicator of future performance...

As much as I enjoy all this QQing, it won't make the NASL a better league in future seasons.

I can understand that this is the NASL first season and NASL might not have plans for all eventuallities that can occur during the 9 weeks of group play. That players will not always be able to make their matches is something that NASL will have to deal with. And they probably have something in the pipes for season 2. Changing the broadcasting schedule to make the post production of the NASL better and a good way to avoid complications like this and White-ra/July.

My hopes for future seasons of NASL is that they will have a week after the group play, where they will have all the rescheduled matches being played. Scheduling for these type of occurenses would be better then feeling cheated out of these matches.

It's all up to the NASL though how they wish to handel situations like this. And the WO options is not the most optimal option if you consider the viewers and fans or even the competition in itself. They need to be clear that they call the shots on when the players play and if they can't play at the appointed time they should be rescheduled, in future NASL seasons, to a later date decided by the NASL.

I want to see these games, not WO. That's all I care about. But I understand that NASL this season has a very tight schedule. And don't have much space for rescheduling at this time. But as said it's the first season and it can only get better from here.

I think the decisions made and the reaction to the problem was good, I like the type of professionalism NASL tries to keep.

Good job, NASL! Thanks for being proactive and adjusting to all the bumps in the road that you discover on your to becoming a true Starleague (TM). It's only natural for the first undertaking of this size in NA to run into issues they've never thought of before, even after trying to anticipate everything that might crop up. Hopefully the community can be pleasantly critical so we can all have an improved viewing experience o.o;

Being 0-0 and playing one less game than the rest of your group is the same damn thing as a loss. Such transparent PR...and the double standard for White-Ra is ridiculous. Agreeing to give Nani a postponement and then going back on that decision because he was laddering is pretty sad, but now there is an even bigger mess. Entertaining though, I will admit that.

Naniwa is pretty bm saying he needed a day to "rest" and couldn't play, but laddered instead. I mean, you're going to make them reschedule your Tourney match so you can ladder / practice some more? Come on man. This is the right decision from the NASL staff given the information.

Not sure why White-Ra wouldn't show up. Maybe something really weird happened and he was physically unable to contact them. Like maybe he went to buy groceries and someone stole his car, and he left his cell at home, so he had to walk two hours to get home. lol

Anyway, hope everyone can work it out and there will be less of this drama in the future. NASL fighting!

The hole thing seems to become more and more laughable. My suggestion after season 1 redo the format 3 months way to long it will interfere with the other big tournaments, MLG, DH, GSL etc. Just look at first week allrdy 2 problems that have caused the players and the fan alot of hazzle.. And it will happend again.

Personally I think this tournament just soaks of incompetence. And if you put youself in a position where players have to chose between NASL and MLG,DH, GSL etc then you gonna lose everytime tbh

IMO, cast from replays. That would solve a lot of the logistical issues.

I wonder if NASL ever considered just playing the games Saturday - Wednesday, instead of Monday - Friday. Then broadcasting the games still on a 2 day delay Monday - Friday rather than Wednesday - Sunday. In my eyes this would be a wayyy better way to do this since broadcasting on Sat/Sunday really kind of sucks.
