The korean teams are the ones being unreasonable. Wait I thought that the koreans made their move before the deadline. Even if they did it at the last minute, they still made the deadline afaik?!

No, the NASL was told the Koreans would not be participating after contracts were signed and games had already been played and recorded(not games by the Koreans I assume).

I think this should be posted together.
WeMadeFox contract signed July 25th. Prime contracted signed July 26th. oGs contracts signed July 26th. So from the period in which they were signed (July 25-26), it took TEN days for Mr.Chae (not even a person from SC2Con) to tell me that the Korean players had issues. After I responded, it took another FIVE days (August 9th) for Mr.Chae to notify the NASL that Koreans would not play in Season 2.

Now when every Korean leaves NASL it's a great opportunity for one of them to just participate since they're almost guarantied $20,000 ^_^ Imagine just DRG or someone playing, chances would be slim that he'd drop a single game since Naniwa, Thorzain, Sase and Huk isn't participating either

If you go through my post history, you will see how much i love the korean scene, the korean players and even korean organizations as Kespa, but one thing i noted is how full of shit they can be when it comes down to defend their turf. Their damage control crew is pretty good, but you have to be a little gullible to believe all they say.

Courts are not that stupid and they are not robots and have some discretion. I am no lawyer, but from what I read how it works/worked here some time ago, my impression is that for example : You have two parties and one sold the other something based on oral contract. The second party did not pay. In court if the first party can show that goods were delivered and they have some other evidence of oral contract(witness,request of the buying party to deliver the goods,...) the court might as well decide that the other party has to pay. I have no idea how they determine the amount though. Other real example that I know of is : Parents promised a son that in two years they will write the house on him as the owner. So he made total reconstruction of the house investing a lot and later parents did not actually did as promised. His lawyer told him that it is quite possible to go to court, that witnesses would be good, but even without them there is high possibility that court will decide in his favour as it is clear(he had all the paperwork necessary to prove it) that he invested a lot in that house and it is not feasible he would do so without some kind of compensation. So it would be likely court would at least say that parents have to repay the cost of reconstruction.
Basically the point is, courts are not ( always ) stupid and not everything that appears to be a hole in the law actually is one. Not every small detail of human interactions can be written into the law or into the contract. You often see words like "reasonable", "appropriate" and similar in laws and their interpretation is given by historical usage and by judges thinking about the case and understanding the meaning of the law.

How else do you explain that TSL had recently been expelled from sc2CON only to see that ban overturned, leaving them as part of that group, and the issue of FXO's recent departure from that group, which has not yet come to a conclusion either? For both teams to leave this group both teams have to be part of it first. TSL is now part of it again and the issue with FXO isn't finished yet either.
So your list should read
s2con members: IM, MVP, NSHoSeo, oGs, Prime, StarTale, ZeNEX, TSL, FXO (possibly)
Korean teams mentioned in NASL's announcement: oGs, StarTale, WeMadeFox, TSL, Prime
Korean teams NOT mentioned in NASL's announcement but are not participating in NASL: SlayerS, FXO Korea
Total of 7 teams withdraw from NASL. Only 3 5 of them are in S2CON.

in other words sc2con did nothing and got blamed for a crime they didnt commit and the korean teams just did not want to deal with NASL
if NASL was so fucked up after the incontrol fiasco, this will totally make it FUBAR and obliterate it in the entire SC2 map!

The NASL thing never made any sense. According to NASL, they were offering the Korean teams way more than most big tournaments and leagues give. If that was the problem, what were the Korean teams demanding? $3,000 travel to the finals only a few players would be going to? Splitting hairs over travel would be stupid and it's generally best not to assume people are stupid (like in SC2, it's a quick way to a loss).
NASL hasn't always given the best impression of professionalism and posting their announcement here blaming "SC2con" and then having to admit later there was no SC2con involvement (just teams & Mr. Chae from the GSL) looks a bit odd. Xeris saying he hasn't been able to get in touch with the team managers is also odd. If you are trying to run a major league, seems like you should be in regular contact with all the team managers by skype/phone (not just email).
I'm going to guess there is something else in the NASL contract that is putting the Korean teams off. Maybe something about contingencies if the league goes bankrupt? Maybe excessive fines for missing matches or disclosing results before broadcast? Refusal to guarantee that the NASL finals won't overlap with a major GSL event or even disrupt sleep schedules prior to GSL matches?
If sC from FXO isn't participating, it isn't about travel support or paying the deposit. They have the sponsorship to cover costs and sC is good enough to win it all. Very odd.
Maybe it's just at trust issue. The players are being asked to make a big commitment to months of play and if they don't trust the organization running the league...

They are the same. SC2CON is a misspelling.
The list is correct. You can find it at www.s2con.com which is in Korean. Don't be fooled, 'select language' button doesn't do anything.
TSL left S2CON and didn't go back, and have no intention of going back. Confirmed by coach Lee.
FXO is at the moment not part of S2CON. Confirmed by FXOBoss.
Actually, FXO Korea were part of S2CON when other teams decided to withdraw. After NASL's announcement, FXO Korea withdrew from S2CON and NASL (not sure which order).

About the bold part; I wonder why people are upset about this. I mean, maybe the koreans were actually busy trying to come up with a better solution, to find another way to settle this whole issue.

I don't really buy this. The level of miscommunication reads more like people lying originally to save face. It's easier to say you can't do something than you don't want to. I have a hunch various teams or players used the excuse that they were told they couldn't perform, rather than simply tell the truth.
Regardless, everybody has to get their shit together.
