Between FXO, NASL, and TSL my faith doesn't lie with anything that comes out of sc2con. | ||

More seriously: that sucks. I hope we can still have some good Korean players in the NASL. | ||

Well, Xeris post specificly said, that it was Mr. Chae that declined NASL's offer to pay 2000$ off of the korean teams travel expenses.. I have no idea how Mr. Chae is involved though | ||

Not sure if you were referring to me, but what I'm comparing are the difficulties for someone overseas to enter in and compete in these tournaments. People love the GSL even though it is nearly impossible for a foreigner to compete without a huge commitment of time and cash for travel and living expenses and yet people are hating the NASL for being too much of a burden on the Koreans when it is actually so much less than other leagues. I just don't see how people can say that the nasl is not worth the burden when you get the chance for a code s prize pool. People say it sucks because the Koreans might fly over and get eliminated in the single elimination bracket. Well if that sucks then why don't the same people have a problem with GSL when Ret goes to play in code a, loses one series, wins nothing and has to wait a month before he would even be allowed to qualify again? So the comparison is not between the leagues so much as it is between the way people perceive each league. To be honest I think most of the hate is because NASL is based in the United States and most everyone hates the United States even when it comes to non political things such as gaming. I can't see any other way there is even a controversy over a group of players running away from already signed contracts. | ||

a) Were the contracts for NASL participation in Korean? And even if they were in Korean was a legitimate translator used to ensure proper translation? b) Is it possible for NASL to release a sample contract to the public? c) Who exactly has NASL been talking to? Mr. Chae? The individual teams? They seem to be changing their story every time a statement comes out? :[ | ||

He explained exactly what the problems were, what caused them and what they were going to do to rectify it. He was very transparent with the fans. Sometimes the laundry needs to be aired out completely, its the only way it will get cleaned. You can do that if you place the blame squarely on yourself, which is what they did after Dallas. If you recall, Sundance himself was ridiculed to pieces on these same forums when he suggested that people should buy more t-shirts in order to get a decent SC2 competition going. Then after Dallas, MLG came clean, placed the blame squarely on themselves, compensated everyone that had paid up to that point, and pretty much everyone came to respect MLG and Sundance for that, to a point where Sundance is now a total hero and everyone is counting down the days till the next MLG event. They actually improved. NASL on the other hand has a history of fuck-ups, not accepting responsibility for them, utterly terrible PR, and a general air of 'what are you whining about, this is only our first season, we are allowed to deliver a sub-par product'. That doesn't get you much credit with your fans/consumers. | ||

So they had poor production and technical problems so that means its ok to sign a contract and then bail out over a week later? | ||
