That would be unfair to whoever came second in your group!

I second this! Pretty obvious to take people from the groups instead imo.

I think your burned your bridges there =p


well they could at least have some sort of last minute playoff thing where the 3rd place for all the groups play bo3s till they find a winner, i mean they dont even have to cast it if its too much of a hassle

at the start of NASL they hyped the main tournament of 50 people so much and in the end 2 from the last 16 arent even gonna be from the main tourney

I mean at least put (P)Ace into the final if they dont want too much of a hassle, he has the best record among those who didnt make the playoffs

I actually agree with naniwa too that a group player should replace strelok. Wouldn't surprise me if that was nasl's plan at first then saw the player it would be, saw that it was naniwa, remembered all his nasl bashing and went.....nah let's invite alive instead, lol.

Because even if you both didn't make it , aLive had a harder way to qualify ?

Lolwut? NaNi played 8 weeks or some shit, aLive definitely didn't have a ''harder way'' by playing a week versus not even the greatest opponents.
It appears I have been chosen.

Wow! Such a great shame for Strelok. I feel so sorry for the guy. He was so psyched and singularly focused on the NASL. He'd have been training so hard and now his efforts have been shut down. feelsbadman. Goodluck aLive but man, I feel so bad for Strelok.

Poor naniwa... I think you deserve the spot. No offense to aLive, but like someone else said, the NASL season should come ahead of the Open Tournament.

The person on 3rd place should take over. This is THE option to pick in a situation like this. It's been done before, and the public generally accept this. Whoever decided the aLive thing needs to seriously reconsider.

I feel so bad for Strelok . I seem to remember him say many times that the NASL was his main focus.

We tried Blizzard and other big corporations to see if they could pressure the embassy to take action faster, we had a letter sent from an Ontario, CA congressman to the embassy on behalf of Strelok.

Props to NASL for doing everything in their power!

I can't speak for Strelok, but it's clear North American officials are afraid of an outbreak of Brat_okbrow.

This is a rhetorical question, of course, it's the NASL. I'm more surprised Avilo's not getting the spot.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

I agree with Naniwa. It would make more sense if Alive replaced the open bracket winner who couldn't come but not if a player from the group stage can't make it when a player from the group can.



It's listed in the NASL Open rules that the runner-up is invited as a back-up player, here.

What's at stake
The winner of the tournament will receive a $500 travel stipend and a spot at the Grand Finals July 8-10 in Ontario, California.

The second place finisher will receive a $500 travel stipend should he/she choose to attend the Grand Finals, and will be listed as a backup player.

The Top 8 finishers will qualify for Season 2 of the North American Star League.


NaNiwa had two chances for earning a grand finales spot. He did not played his best in the NASL playoffs and missed Top2 spot partially due to an early season w/o, so he had no one to blame for missing out but himself.
Thank God and gunrun.

Props to NASL for trying their hardest to get Strelok in. But it would make more sense to take the best scoring player that didn't qualify or the person who got third in the group..... Not someone from the Qualifiers...

Maybe nothing to do with anything but when did Ace switch to zerg from protoss lol?!?

Anyway, I'm curious what the responses are for not letting Naniwa play.

Second that. I feel Naniwa deserves the spot alot more than aLive, since he played for nearly 3 months in the NASL and proved in the past that he is a top competitor too. Also I feel that its way too easy for most of the Koreans to get into lucrative tournament spots. Compare that to the qualification process for GSL as a foreigner... Koreans just get invited and can take loads of money home oO
