The 2nd qualifier should have been replayed because all the koreans who signed up and knocked out "foreigners" ended up not participating in the league. You could almost say the same for the Open tournament but the koreans wanted to the 16th seed/be in the playoffs it's really disappointing and a qualifier takes 1 or 2 days to host. NASL is just being lazy

NASL has a ton of work to do just to get season 2 going without having another qualifier. Everyone they have invited makes sense right now. Funny you call them lazy without knowing everything they are doing.

I for one look forward to seeing how Softball performs on a global stage. Having heard about these league is one thing, but seeing them compete in the global stage should be interesting.
Maybe if he does well enough and they show to be up to the Korean skill level GSL may try to partner with them or something.

im REALLY glad softball and sen are coming. im really hoping that they can represent the tesl well and give it the recognition it deserves as a legitimate league.

as soon as i saw new players i was just thinking plese Dimaga please dimaga

Even if it did take 1-2 days to host, it takes upwards of 2 weeks to plan. If your goal is to stay as close to the original schedule as possible with a 2 week delay, you don't have an extra 2 weeks for planning.
The only alternative solution is to deviate from the original schedule, which would make the finals run into holiday time, making it an inconvenience for everybody both financially and time-wise.

The NASL site is annoying for putting "good" vs "evil" with pictures of Jinro and HuK respectively. Kind of a weird way to "promote" season 2 of NASL...
I know! Good vs Evil should be someone from EG against Goody, not against someone from Liquid.

So you expect people to sign up, players to actually know about and show up for their matches, casters to be selected and available in the studio for filming, and all editing work to be done, all with less than a 24 hour notice?
That's pretty idealistic.

who says you have to cast qualifiers keep in mind we already paid 10$ to play in a "fraud" qualifier where koreans just bailed out. So many foreigners got knocked by koreans and threw their 10$ away when in reality they would of had a shot. Trust me, the NASL fiasco with the korean was a week and a half ago if not more, they had time to just host a qualifier without having to cast it and it would of been a lot more fair and respectable.
