I really don't understand why people keep saying shit like this. Korean teams are under no obligation to put half their roster in the tournament. What happened to teams using internal rank points to determine wich guy gets to go to a tournament? | ||

NASL offered a 60 day lag of $2000. Let me know when you find an airline and hotel that will take their payment up to 60 days after the service. They have the possibility to send 30 players to Dreamhack. They can't afford it of course and it's not worth it, but in theory they do. Why do they expect to be allowed to send 16 people to NASL if they can't afford it? Don't sign up for shit you don't have funds to participate in. Sign up one player if that's what your budget allows. | ||

Ultimately, if an organization comes forth, puts up a massive cash prize pool - and all I have to do it show up and play my A game to take a piece of it, you bet I'll make it to the matches. Further, I specifically recall a condition that NASL made that in order to enter, you MUST commit in advance to a personal appearance for the grand finals. So this was known in advance to online group play. I feel, that if NASL makes the tournament, puts up the money, obtains venue, filming, logistics etc etc etc - it is the Teams and the players responsibility to get to the venue etc if they want their chance at that prize pool. It should NOT be NASL's financial problem to pay for travel and lodgings of out of country or out of region players. The fact that NASL came forward and offered funds, in my opinion, is above and beyond what they are required to do, or what the players feel they are entitled to. A question - if the prize pool was hypothetically $1,000,000 - with the winner taking $500,000 - would the Korean's still be making financial demands regarding travel and lodging? Likely not. | ||

The Koreans were going to have their airfare, ground travel, and hotel costs payed for. Did you read? They have to pay it back. Stop being a horrible troll. | ||

They only have to pay it back if they win money at the Finals in excess of what it cost to bring them to the Finals. Look up "troll" because I don't think it means what you think it means. | ||

In the last NASL finales we had how many Koreans participating through the open bracket? I don't think any of the participants in the open bracket got any kind of travel stipends since it was open for 1024 players which would be a ridicolous sum if they had to pay for everyone... Please, correct me if I'm wrong here. Additionally, assuming that 1000 USD + 1000 USD minimum prize money is enough to cover all costs why can't teams talk to their players if they would agree to pay the flight etc out of this 1000 USD prize money? I just don't see how NONE of the Koreans would agree to this given that they can play in front of a huge crowd, playing for 1st place, getting themselves known to sponsors etc. | ||
