I know it won't mean much but if plenty of people boycott them, they will understand that people don't want their bullshit drama, just good games. Currently they've the only valuable Terran players except Thorzain's TvP and TvT, the only zerg who understands ZvZ enough to get an insane ZvZ ratio, the only P who get some results against Z... Yeah foreigner provide good games in what, PvP, TvT, ZvP... Cool... | ||

No. The season is too long, too useless, it's just easier for them (I bet they will) to just try their chance in the open tournament. Basically if they do that the one who'll win the open tournament has a good chance to gain 50k without putting too much efforts. | ||

i really can't understand why even a single korean sc2 pro would refuse to participate at nasl without clear reasons like GSL Code S or A. @imres: your idea with the koreans planning to qualify in the open tournament makes sense. well if that's so it's NASLs fault for having a system which does not make it desireable to participate in the pre finals season. maybe they should make some modifications there. just look at poor ret with his awesome pre season performance and then having to play against puma. they have to change the seeding system to make it fair. | ||

Read the offer from NASL in season 2 again. Here, I did it for you: We presented a final offer, one which redistributed our prize pool to guarantee each player $2,000 (a $1,000 minimum prize in addition to the $1,000 travel stipend). | ||

Sure, sc2con might not have barred all the teams from participating, but that doesn't change the fact that a lot of korean teams bowed out at the last second, and FXOboss pulled FXO from sc2con. He seems like a reasonable man, and i'm not going to second guess his judgement.

As much as i hate to say it, i'd rather see them do away with the open tournament style, to keep teams from just throwing a bunch of guys in at the end to try to win it. | ||

Did you see the amount of koreans in NASL2 compared to the first one? The level of competition wasn`t exactly going to be the same and as easy because of all the koreans who qualified through the qualifiers. You should add more context. | ||

That is unfair to the players from Europe who have to take flights to the States with their own money, and the Korean players get paid to come over to the States like you want. | ||

That is would unfair to the players from Europe who have to take flights to the States with their own money, and the Korean players get paid to come over to the States like you want. But NASL provides a traveling stipend to help you cover. and are willing to pay for you, just by using some of the money you take in winnings. You get basically a free trip to another country, you just have to come home with a little less EXTRA money. Personally, i'd jump all over that opportunity, but i guess i have different priorities Edit: On August 15 2011 01:11 Imres wrote: You try to be dumb or you're dumb?

I meant he took them out, i don't see any additional reason to look at them as a favorable organization. That's all. | ||

I really wouldn't be surprised if certain team managers, or sc2con, have been pressuring and lying to the other teams to get them to not participate either. Likewise, I really don't think NASL understands what the problem truly is. This is the kind of negotiations that you don't go through 3rd and 4th parties. NASL didn't even know who they were talking to, and how could the teams then know what NASL was saying, since they barred contact and let someone else do the talking for them? Get together, in a room, and talk this out. I really don't think this is a wise decision for either the players nor NASL, so it would be in both of their best interest to participate. But communication seems to have been terrible. | ||

NASL offer to give $1000 for transport & accommodation and to give $1000 prize even if you lose 1st round so the money team need to forked out up front are : $500 deposit + ~$500-600 for transport & accommodation (after substracting the $1000 that NASL gave) so that $1100 up front then 60 days later they will get their $500 deposit back and the $1000 prize so after 5 months they will get $400 at worst case scenario yeah, not for everybody | ||

You don't have the same business approach in different countries, and imo FXOBoSs reacted perfectly, retiring + transparency, and that's what westerners are looking for. | ||
