Ya, unless strelok applied for a visa the day he registered for the nasl, it is entirely his fault. Pretty shitty for all parties(except alive!) but what can ya do :/ | ||

I feel sorry for naniwa, but the rules clearly are outlined that the open bracket player would get the spot in this situation so there is no room for argument there. Oh and Xeris, you really need a lesson in PR if you want everyone to take you and your league seriously. You just CAN'T get emotional and personal when you are representing a professional organisation, that's not just my opinion - that's the way it works. Agree with everything here. Sucks for Strelok but that's how it is trying to get into the US I guess. | ||

I am simply suggesting a "listen then decide" approach to this matter. There's no need to "listen then decide" when you already have written guidelines that describe what action is to be taken when this situation arises. If people don't like it, you'll hear about it and maybe decide to change it next season, but sitting down to listen to what a bunch of random people think in order to decide something you already wrote down a response for is ridiculous. | ||

The rules forbade regular season players from participating in the open tournament, from what I understand. They could only play in the Season 2 qualifiers. Nonetheless the regular season players had their chance to qualify. | ||

Pretty sad for Strelok  hope he does well in season 2.it has to do with the history between US and their countries. S korea and Ukraine are quite different countries. | ||

But please consider to not make an Open Tournament for the next league, if Alive wins the finals you might aswell not play the first 9 weeks at all. :/ I don't exactly know how to say this, but it takes away some of the magic when players that just played in the open tournament compete versus the players we've seen competing for those spots for 9 weeks. Agree with this post completely. Perhaps have half invites and half qualify through open tourney? That would add the "merit entrance" that they seem to be trying to achieve. | ||

I love how the open bracket is called 'easier' yet all of the foreigners got ran over by Koreans at some point, sorry Thorzain D=. At least the people in the open bracket weren't allowed a series loss until the finals. Next time, "Don't? lolwut?" accept a bypass of the group tournament and just get top 2, I doubt he would have lasted through all the koreans regardless. Heck, if I was going to invite a group play player, I would invite the one with the best record, seeing as he is obviously the best player as you all try to say for Naniwa. Ace, Morrow and Zenio went 7-2, Nani went 6-3, players are responsible for their walkover losses. Ace lost his 2nd chance too, but a loss is a loss. Nobody is bigger than the rules! GL next year, your group will be much harder with a few more koreans and a few less under performing foreigners. GL in code A next season, if you lose set 1, you are out of the league. If you don't show up to your match you get a 2 season ban from the tournament like Rain. | ||

Hope aLive does well. I guess TSL could use some exposure for their remaining players right about now. I almost wish there was some kind of DH Coin Toss style tourney where Strelok played aLive in a bo5 for his visa, I want to see him play so bad. But I guess he'll make it t to an American lan eventually. | ||

first of all it was stated in the rules no need to bash xe like seriously come on and naniwa for crying why he wasn't picked well the rules were already set before he said anything did anyone even read the op? lol or just nani's reply edit: don't even know why nani is crying about it since he dislikes the nasl so much lol just saying edit2: as for nani crying i can understand why since you would think that they would chose the 3rd in the bracket, he should know the rules regardless what i dont understand is him bashing the nasl than crying about not being chosen if he never bashed nasl than i would be in his favor because let's be honest 3rd place seems very practical here if the 2nd place drops out, but regardless rules were made way before this anyways to all the people complaining and it's ridiculous for nani to cry about riduculing nasl like that lol just my 2cents User was temp banned for this post. | ||

Or maybe he just jump into the sea and swim across. Age and travel history may have something to do with Visa issues. White-ra may also be a lot more experienced with foreign tournaments and prepared wayyyy ahead of time. | ||

Personally I do think it's weird concidering how long of a tournament it is, and then they just shove it all away in favour of someone who strolled through the open bracket. | ||
