Our only issue is the fact that they all: a) knew the contents of the contract, b) deliberately signed up players to qualify for the league, c) made demands, and d) waited until we already started the season to tell us that our offers to them were not acceptable. And that's why this whole thing just seems like extortion to me. They were banking that you guys would think that you "needed" them and thus would agree to anything. | ||

So are you going to address whether the security deposit was the true issue? | ||

(when they were sure to qualify for example) All of the koreans played out their matches in s1. Even those that had no shot at qualifying. While the current SC2Con decision might be terrible, the korean players have proven themselves to be actually professional time and time again. All I'm saying is that whatever the implications of this decision are, they shouldn't reflect on the players themselves. Bitch at Sc2con all you want, bitch at managers all you want, but there's no reason to assume the koreans would stop caring at a certain point. Throughout NASL s1 they have shown more dedication then many a foreigner. | ||

Idk man I'm kind of getting the same feeling. This is E-Sports a majority of the north american masters players have to travel to each MLG with their own money. I think just because your a top tier player doesn't mean you shouldn't attempt to pay from your own pocket to get into an event. :/ | ||

GSL/sc2con is just trying to sabotage competition, pretty clear | ||

Suing over a legal issue that costs an organization money isn't something said corporation should worry about.. Honestly, it probably isn't worth the man hours and money to put in to sue them for what money could potentially be lost because of this. But I hope for the future when making deals with whatever association. People start making contracts that are enforceable or at least with withdrawal clauses or unfullfillment clauses that make the breaching party pay some sort of amount of money. | ||

Given what NASL has posted about previous travel expenses $2000 seems more than fair. | ||

Most leagues would be glad to pay and have top tier players (Koreans or non) | ||
