Yes! Get XiGua in this, I think he can surprise some people.

Where is DeMuSliM?
I would think being #1 GM on ladder + being in EG would make him a shoein There will be 50 players I believe (maybe 40), i dont quite remember
I believe Xeris mentioned a long time a go they are going down to 45 players, and shortening the season to 9 weeks versus 10. Not sure if this is still correct.

YESSS Dimaga! I quess i have to buy HD PASS after all.
|
Dimaga certainly seems to be a fan favorite!
|
Yay for Tyler! Pretty happy to see him again & already looking forward to the matches.
The others are less interesting candidates to me personally, even though all of them are "the usual suspects", of course. DIMAGA will be cool to follow, too.
Go DeMusliM though! Don't dare to leave him out. D:

Lol copying Eminem's album title.
Doesn't even make sense when HuK is not evil :D
|
White-Ra, Strelok & Dimaga. Add Kas to have the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Ukraine in NASL 
|
|
|
HuK is going to destroy his former teammate D:. GL HuK in the NASL!

I don't know if they are done announcing players taking the Korean spots... but if not... Rain, Twilight, Stephano, Nerchio, and Demuslim need to be in. = /

Shaping up to be a great foreigner tournament, with Puma of course.

However, if my memory is correct, after those initial few players declined returning to season 2 (Boxer, Thorzain, Naniwa, etc.) I believe most if not all the players in rank 5-8 were accepted - so inka was literally 1 set and perhaps even 1 game (the bracket doesn't list the score of the of set he played in the round of 16) away from qualifying.

I'm glad you know how to run the NASL, desrow. There's so much that goes into running this league that you have no idea about, there's no way we could run a qualifier. Thanks for your expert opinion though.
There will be many opportunities to qualify for Season 3 and everyone will get their fair share.

Even if he wants to play, it's too late -- the players are all decided now. Sadly I couldn't reach him in time

This is actually a pretty sick lineup of players so far. Kodus for NASL standing their ground and still getting a great player pool.

Why do you do this in every thread, desrow?

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.
If it'll make you sleep better at night, just pretend that the Koreans never withdrew and so you paid that $10 and lost fair and square.
Not being invited sucks, I'm sure. But then again if the Koreans did not decide to be so unprofessional with the way they handled themselves, you would have never had a second chance in the first place. It sucks to seem like you might have a second chance but not be invited. But that's life sometimes. It's hard to blame it on NASL here. Sure, some players are getting "lucky" for getting that second chance, but I would go as far as to say that there are no "losers" or "unlucky" players because you are in no way entitled to a second chance when you all lost in the real qualifier.
