EPTHasn't hollywood taught you anything? Divided we are weak. Currently I think the Koreans are in the wrong, but I want to hold off on judgement. Drama like this is too sensationalistic. The attention may be a good thing, it provides excitement, but I don't want isolation between Korean and the western world's tournaments.

The only thing I think NASL could possibly apologize for would be mentioning sc2con if they weren't involved. That's it. | ||

You don't have to play at 4 am, at least in Season 2, as that was changed (wonder how many managers are actually aware of that and took the time to ask that or read up on that). And NASL didn't make Boxer lose. Boxer lost because MC played better. Such is life as a pro-gamer...you're not always guaranteed to win. But actually, in Season 2, every player is guaranteed a $1000 prize if they attend (which they can use for travel), AND a $1000 stipend, which is more than enough compensation. Funny that someone who is negotiating for their entire team doesn't seem to even know what the other side is offering. Wtf When did i ever say NASL made Boxer lose? I said he lost one single elimination bo3, after playing countless group play games and winning them. What im trying to point out here, is its unfair to win all these games, travel across the world, then lose 1 b03 and you just lose. Your Out. They really should change the system, at least make it b05 or do loser's bracket. | ||

Clearly, after signing this contract, Koreans wanted their deposits back sooner. That's not how it works. 2) After NASL gave them some money to do it. But more importantly, NASL has stated that they booked flights and shuttles for players who were confused. And I would be more inclined to believe NASL because 1) you can't blatantly lie about that, 2) MVP wasn't even there so how would they know. 3) NASL explicitly said no manager, despite having all of their contact info, has ever expressed any problems to them, and that they had to talk to mediators (like mr.chae, who has stated that he is a mediator, and even he doesn't know who is on the other side). 4) He is allowed to say what he thinks, but people are also allowed to correct him. It is also worrysome because what he thinks seems to be wrong which means he was mislead. 1) So explain to me how that is breaking/violating their contract. 2) Then you need to read everything NASL says more carefully. They booked them for players not paid for. 3) So NASL was contacted by someone who relayed Korean teams' message. 4) That was about you saying "...There was no point in making this public'..." | ||

Your cryptic posts are little more than annoying T_T. Can't you just explain the matter or explain nothing? | ||

Can you explain? Providing limited detail does not really help, since we are left to speculate. Was it 1 km away? 10 km away? Did it require an additional taxi ride? Was there failure in planning or in execution? Did the shuttle break down? | ||

It's like buying into a tournament and losing 1000 dollars by just attempting to place higher would be just downright shitty. Also, the koreans asking for all of this would apply to ALL the finalists. The foreigners just don't give a shit because their teams can afford these expenses. Korean teams have a lot more financial responsiblity in managing their team than foreign teams right now and they just can't afford to send all their players everywhere. It WASN'T their money BEFORE the negotiations because they were never PROMISED a minimum $1000 prize. That was ADDED for season 2. "The foreigners just don't give a shit because their teams can afford these expenses. " White-Ra paid for his plane ticket completely out of pocket without a dime from NASL for season 1. | ||

Haha, sorry. 1) There was talk (that was reflected on an article), how Koreans had to pay 80 dollars for the shuttle service when they were picked up. I do not know how accurate this part of the statement is. 2) When they were dropped off, they were dropped off at the domestic section of the airport. The international section was at the other end. You can imagine how they felt. Basically it's little "amateur" mistakes like these that built up that gave Koreans that kind of impression overall. It's small, but there was *a lot* of small things at NASL. | ||

Lest we forget, 40$k is up for grabs, in addition to the whole 100$k prizepool. NASL shouldnt hae to wait hand and foot in return for something the Koreans are benefiting from. Honestly not that much for almost 3 months of play at insane hours even if the Koreans did qualify | ||

Some of you seriously have problems with that? That's hardly pampering the players. That is beyond basic for this type of thing. If NASL seriously didn't take care of that stuff in the first place it just shows how amateur they are. As a few others have already pointed out... GOM DOES do this stuff for foreigners. You guys really think in any professional business that they would expect foreigners that come to take care of everything themselves? No. The host takes care of it for them. Either way... thanks for the article OP! | ||

Please don't come Milkis. A known forumer's opinion might cause chaos. Let it end there. It's not good for your future image in this forum. | ||

To me $80 per person seems excessive when you note the fact that all the Koreans traveled together (or many did) In regards to #2 I agree that is amateurish and annoying, but I wouldn't consider that a major roadblock. If that is the main concern Choi is referring to I think it is a bit overblown considering how big it seems from the interview. | ||

If you sign a contract saying "I will do ___" and then don't do ____, then you have broken a contract. 2) Proof. That was only claimed by the TIG article was quickly rebuted on almost every point. 3) NASL was contacted by mediators who didn't knwo what was going on and didn't know how to talk to, yes. However, that's so unprofessional that I can't believe you're not grasping it. Do you know how shitty that kind of negotiation method is? Hint: nobody negotiates through a guy who talks to a guy who talks to a guy who talks to the other side. When you negotiate, two representatives who know what's going on and who have power to make decisions get together and talk. 4) No, I'm saying, their basis of lecturing NASL on what to do doesn't apply when they are doing something worse themselves. I"m also saying if they truly cared about improving the situation and making good relationships for the future, they would take NASL's invite to speak to them about the problem, and would have talked to them. | ||
