There are several NA and EU players who showed up to all their games, what if they want an exception too? Sure why not? After all, they've earned it for participating fully in the league in Season 1. | ||

The player makes the game Im not tuning into watch Mc vs Catz because I already know what is going to happen. I will tune into watch Nestea vs Mc because it will be top level all around. Also the finals that made Nasl good was complete bullshit. Watching guys like Ret and Boxer get knocked out of the tournament instantly was terrible. Not to mention they had Dustin Browder balancing the sound. | ||

So I'd like to say thank you! | ||

 I'm glad I decided to purchase a GSL season ticket rather than a NASL season ticket. Don't worry though I'll still tune in to the free stream every night, I actually like Gretorp. Who knows things might actually work out better this way. | ||

Think twice please. Foreigners got SEEDED into Code A. ALL foreigners (and koreans) that participated in NASL S1 got SEEDED. And yes, the NASL finals were good. Guess why?  | ||

This is SC2CON. | ||

I offered the Korean teams to talk to me personally if the deposits were a problem and we could work something out, but I heard no responses other than the same repeated ultimatum. Seems like it's a communication problem then. I hope that you continue to try to pursue as many channels as possible to communicate with the teams, because I really hope Korean participation in the league can be salvaged. :/ | ||

From what i can tell, and what I've heard from the commentators/people involved, the Koreans love the American fans and the atmosphere here in the states. I expect more Koreans to defect to American teams in the future if more decisions like this keep coming out of Korea. And the effect on NASL viewership may not be as substantial as 90%, but the fact that it will no longer be a tournament involving the full gamut of the best players in the world will definitely make it take a hit in viewers/subscribers. | ||

This is really bizarre. If their demand was travel expenses and no security deposit, and the $1000 travel expenses + guaranteed $1000 even if they lost in the first round covered travel expenses, the security deposit seems to be the only issue left. Are we sure there isn't just some kind of misunderstanding or maybe translations giving off the wrong tone? | ||

You know what they say, no money no skill. NASL needs to give much more money to attract the Koreans. | ||

Yet they still get $1,000 for the one bad series. This has nothing to do with format and everything to do with money. Do you think that they would still be in NASL if players played a minimum of two series instead of one? I certainly dont. | ||

When koreans started playing in more tournaments such as the nasl, or the exchange with mlg I was pumped. But now its starting to become lame and I kind of want the older more exciting matches back. | ||
