Korean teams withdraw from NASL - Page 162

This seems to be a calculated maneuver from this random.... SC2Con? Come on Koreans, get rid of this phony ass hierarchy. Seems that the Puma drama lingered and was attached to the NASL. Too bad that group, whatever they want to call themselves, are hurting the community and viewers. Not like they care though, this probably had almost no splash in the Korean community, and if any a positive one I would assume... I hope someone will prove me wrong.

edit: I have a funny thought. What if there was some ridiculous NASC2Condurp run by Alex Garfield from EG. Imagine him trying to pull this shit. There would be blood.

I think I'm going to buy a season 2 ticket to support NASL for this even though I haven't bought it for season 1.

I'm not against this tbh, this make more spots for foreigners, and might encourage the foreign scene

Waiting until the season starts to make demands and kick off about costs is pretty rough really. Seems like a pretty selfish move. Almost as if they don't care how much they piss off the league because they know that you'll be wanting them back anyway.

Not sure how to feel about it really. Can it really be a genuine concern that they "can't afford" it? Seems to me its the same with MLG, what the koreans get given on a silver platter is way more than what the US/EU players and teams get in return.

Sure, they're the best at the moment. I guess they figure that gives them weight to throw around. I find myself wishing it wasn't the case.

"Pay for our holiday so we can come and win your money anyway" - Is this a fucking joke?

$2000 is more then enough for a return ticket and hotel / expenses for the time they will spend there -_- add to that practically every korean will be in the R08 - what sort of shit are they trying to pull?

Looks like this stigma of "Koreans being gosu" is getting to their fucking heads, give us what we want or we will refuse to participate, pfft.

Children not getting what they want and throwing their toys out the pram IMO - this obviously isnt because they cant afford it with $2000 per player -_-

Boxer has chosen not to participate in NASL season 2 or have his team participate in it. He has also said negative things about it according to Milkis blog (although he does not go into specifics). SlayerS is not part of SC2Con. Obviously whatever is going on is larger than just SC2Con.

Yes this may suck for the show, but in my opinion, it will give 50k to a NA or EU player who will definitely use it to support himself in continuing his career. The Koreans seem a little bit greedy here with the offer that has been made to them. And with SC2 being bigger in the west than in Korea, I believe it's their loss. Let them out for sometime, I think they'll change their minds.

Aww, you can't say that Puma, Rain, and HuK taking top spots would be undeserved...

Who's starting with BS? Most non North American players were in form of Koreans. I'm not saying EVERYONE is North American but we lost a big chunk of the part that wasn't.

Or It Could be that the Korean Teams are afraid they will get another player sniped Like EG got Puma.

Although i Don't think EG was in the wrong for doing what they did.

Look In Reality It doesn't matter if Boxer Declined as well i think the underlying issue is that Starcraft2Con (Kespa 2.0) Feels threatened by NASL and decided to not allow the Koreans To go so they could captilize on having most of the Korean games in the GSL.

So they GSL can attain more fans/subsribers = more $$$ to GomTv/GSL instead of NASL

Because Fans might be tempted to buy GSL season now because they are restricting foreigners to some foreign Tournamnents.

IMO this is one big conspiracy and its not so hard to see Starcraft2Con(Mr Chae's) (Kespa 2.0) Devious Plans.

They want the Money to stay in Korea and they will do things that hurt E-Sports to keep it that way.

IMO this hurts the entire community and Global E-Sports for Sc2 in the Long run..

Sad to see

All this is doing is Dividing the Community and Increasing Division.

The Sc2 Community should not succumb to Greed and do whats best for the Players(Pro)/Fans First.

Not whats best for Kespa 2.0 and the managers Team owners.

Please read the thread. They were upset at their treatment in season 1, which if you actually followed it, you would understand. That's why they increased their demands, because they felt that they were not adequately compensated for what went down last season. It doesn't make it OK for them to breach contract in the way they did but it's more than understandable that they would want something better to sweeten the pot this season.

Can we please wait a few days until SC2Con releases their official statement? We've had quite a few memorable cases of two sides presenting different "facts" in the past few weeks. ThisIsGame isn't directly affiliated with SC2Con, so the article from there is just a personal opinion of a journalist.

Stupidest post ever. Mr chae has nothing to do with sc2 con. Sc2 con IS the managers and sc2 teams don't have owners. They are owned by their players. Sc2 con is nothing like kespa it's just guys like thewind trying to look out for the players not phone company bosses protecting financial interests. Please stop embarrassing yourself and tl with your total lack of knowledge about anything.
