If you buy tickets to a music festival and a few bands pull out at the last minute due to not liking their stage placement or something, is it the venue or festival organizers fault? Did they lie? Were they deceptive? No. Same case here, NASL advertised what to their knowledge was true. You're wrong. End of story. ANYway, who else is more interested in what JSy mentioned a few posts up about this statement from the Korean teams and SC2CON denying their involvement? The festival will offer you a refend 99.9% of the time. The other .1% is when its a charity event so nobody cares since they can just write it off anyways.... | ||

Whether or not this is false advertising in any legal sense, offering refunds would definitely be the right thing for NASL to do in the circumstances. | ||

But the promoters say "don't worry, we are replacing them with lots of 'great' local talent"? Whether or not this is false advertising in any legal sense, it would definitely be the right thing for NASL to do in the circumstances. Thats all I'm asking for. Just OFFER a refund to each person who paid to see those Koreans play. We were told that by paying the $25 for the season pass we would be able to watch those games, and now we can't. I'm not saying simply give back all of the money to subscribers, just at least OFFER the OPTION to have a refund.... | ||

When they were advertising season 2 with the Koreans in the league, the Koreans were still in the league. Now if they continue to advertise season 2 with players who aren't in it, then it would be false advertising. | ||

The names are still on the site, the player profiles are still there, and guess what, they are still selling season passes with that information present. Not a single mention of any of this ordeal anywhere on nasl.tv | ||

Jumping out with a long essay basically saying the Koreans are the bad guys and NASL is the good guy, instead of stating "negotiation were failed and Koreans decided to not attend season 2" This is so immature by an organization. How is it immature? The Korean teams waited until the last moment to withdraw their players when the filming was already underway. | ||

Again you are assuming that SC2Con is telling the truth, and plus even if they are, still doesn't change the fact that the teams played the qualifiers, signed contracts to play in season 2, THEN made their demands known and then 15 days after the (yes I'm gonna keep saying it like a broken record) CONTRACTS were signed decided to pull out. Thats the crux of the whole argument for alot of people | ||

Thats the crux of the whole argument for alot of people so wait, first you say "you assume x is telling the thruth". Then your counter is blindly copying what the other side saids. Don't you think that is very hypocritical thinking here? | ||

Ultimately, I think the part of this that hurts esports the most is the ignorance of already signed contracts. I feel like it is important to support NASL here, despite the problems with them as an organization. The above is why your posts make me sad, Effen. I think it is reasonable to ask for a refund, but I also feel that doing so is in some way supporting the position of the korean teams, which, essentially, is that they are so important that no one would dare displease them. | ||
