You may disagree with it, you may hate it, and you may want to see it burn in hell. But the fact is - The Korean teams knew that it would be applied. Now, while the season has started, the Korean teams demand more than was agreed on when they entered the qualifiers. This is a breach of agreement and is everything opposite to the so called 'honourable' Korean culture everyone talks about at all times. Poor performance by the Korean teams, and I hope for them to redeem themselves with regards to this issue, but it'd be hard for them. which is why i think nasl should seek legal action against sc2 con. a huge chunk of players who sign contracts to play this season are now pulled out. there season will now be delayed to reformat. sc2con needs to at least apologize for the amount of damage they have caused this league | ||

We have a fixed budget, we're a company that is less than 1 year old and we're trying to do great things. We don't have the VC backing and years of events hosted such as companies like MLG (nor do we have the backing of a major corporation like GOMTV). The offer we made is literally the most we can do with the current budget we have. You'll end up losing a lot of your viewers tho. So the question is, is this loss of revenue still less than if you were to fully cover their cost? Have you considered reducing part of the grand final prize for this? | ||

SlayerS has nothing to do with this at all. We have spoken directly with Jessica many times, and are on great terms with team SlayerS. They let us know a long time ago the issues they had with NASL and we couldn't come to an agreement with them... all is good! | ||

I watch almost every GSL match, and most major foreign tournaments also. I'm not a super technical observer, I watch for entertainment only, and to me american and european play is easier to watch and more interesting. The games aren't as faultless as the korean's, but they aren't as linear either. TLO nuke pushing, Huk Mothershipping, Idra Neural parasiting, Incontrol pyloning games are the ones I remember even now. I will still watch all NASL games that I can, and be secretly relieved that there are fewer koreans. | ||
