I think it's up to the koreans to choose if they want to travel abroad to NASL. You're all acting like entitled babies, even paying 500$ is generous from NASL but who cares if the sum is 5000$? There might be other motives, the strain that travelling does to you, the bad shape you get in from travelling and being jetlagged etc. It's all fair, and we will still see korean players at the event...

I don't understand why this has to be the biggest deal.

It's already been stated by NASL that deposits are being returned and some have already. So that is contradictory, or old information. Cutting cheques, getting them to the correct people etcetera does take time. Tournament payouts often take time, we haven't even reached 3 months where other tournaments have taken years. There was a whole article on the different tournaments and how long they take. IIRC GSL itself was in the 6-9month range.

There is more to the story here. But from what we know so far I think SC2Con is demanding too much and were seeing with $$$ signs. There are reasons for players/teams to not want to participate. But for an organization to just say no and not leave it in the hands of the teams, players and sponsors seems very Kespa-ish to me.

The Korean response didn't really say much that the NASL didn't post or comment about in this thread already

It's about time we stop referring to all non-Koreans in this game as 'foreigners'.

Why are people still using that term? It's 2011. They don't own this sport.

This news is a big step in the direction of stepping up and losing that tired label.


Thats why almost every foreigners lost in NASL round of 16 right?

Thats why top 6 MLG finish was koreans right?

Honestly when i watch koreans gamers play and watch other tournaments I can clearly see the difference in the quality of games....

No disrespect to non-Korean players, but games with korean pros are just simply better.

NASL already addressed this. The terms in their contract is 60 days after the event.

Most invoices and payments in NA are paid in 30 days, which is standard, however it is not abnormal for payments to take longer for small or mid-size business.

Waiting 60 days before refunding deposits or paying out prize money is neither unfair or extraordinary in anyway. People are just trying to invent controversy.

Edit: one douchebag is trying to create controversy.


Some would say requiring deposits from top players is abnormal in the first place.


Some would say pulling your players out of a league after they've already qualified and after said league has already made up the schedule and started filming matches is abnormal.

Others would say that some of those top players missed matches which was the very reason for the deposits in the first place.

Actually the level of skill here PALES in comparison to the Korean scene. I have no clue what world you live in.

You really don't see anything wrong with SC2Con demanding unlimited travel expenses?

Whose to say whether players won't book luxury suites and dine out at expensive restaurants every night?

Very constructive points, kudos to you, my friend.

The NASL producers are akin to nefarious bankers.

Not only that, NASL charged players $80 when picking them up from the air port.

NASL offered to pay $2000 for the travelling fee, at the cost of taking $1000 OUT of the prize money.

Also, players who competed in season 1 still have not received any of their deposit or the prize money.

Interesting series of events.

- Have not paid the Korean players who participated in NASL Season 1
- Upped the deposit fee for Season 2 from $250 to $500
~ Use deposit for Season 2 to pay prize money and deposits from Season 1
~ Profit

Ponzi Scheme anyone?

Good i wasn't watching the regular NASL season because of lag between the servers and I would never watch a game where the one player has delay and the other doesn't. This isn't a game this is a handicap match no thx. So now when i know it is fair and both players (EU and NA) have equal chances i might watch some games. I like that move.
+1 tournament for me

You're either not funny or really stupid! If you think NA "Top-Players" like KiwiKaki, SeleCt or IdrA are "sick" you should watch some games them playing koreans.

Everyone who gives money to NASL is pretty retarded if you can get nearly 3 GSLs for the same price. Sorry NASL, but GSL is the only league worth paying money for. The Production Quality of Foreign Tournaments is really bad or they aren't live.

it's a measure to make people show up for matches instead of no showing once they're mathematically eliminated from NASL playoffs

anyways, if the Koreans are really citing not receiving back deposits and not receiving prize money as reasons for pulling out of NASL, then either they never bothered to read the contract terms or they are really inexperienced in how businesses operate

NASL has stated that their terms are 60 days. there aren't any grounds to complain about not receiving deposits or prize money until the 60 days have past.
E-Sports is competitive video gaming with a spectator fan base. Do not take the word "Sports" literally.

That's not what they are demanding.

Please read, before you spout ignorance.

Pretty much. Why should we have to pay for them to come over here? You don't see them paying for people like Huk to come over to Korea. If they want to compete over here then pay for it themselves.

Really really disappointing from the Koreans on this one. They are Starcraft players not rockstars, you can't demand the world.. $2000 seems like plenty to fall back on should you do badly at the finals and the prize pool is enormous, it makes no sense to me.
Jaedong gives me a deep resonance.
