Anyhow, this is pretty bad for the NASL and I feel for them. Although i can understand where the Koreans are coming from, it is quite unprofessional to go about it in this manner, especially after they've participated in the qualifiers, signed contracts and season 2 production had already begun. Really harsh. | ||

GSL maypays for travel and a practice house. NASL should learn from MLG, a tournament everyone respects. http://tinyurl.com/4xo9e56 | ||

The situation is fairly simple when you look at it from a business angle: There's no room in korean team's budget and that's it. They can't afford writing checks out for anything, so they resort to this. Something have to be fixed. | ||

 It would be cool if koreans were in NASL, but i think it will be just as cool without them. | ||

bitching on top of that for travel expenses paid (only if they're already in the playoffs for 3 days and a ton of prizemoney) ... compared to foreigners having to pay to go to korea and dying horribly in code a qualifiers , to get a chance for code a where they will probably lose , to get a chance to go to code s where they will probably lose... yeah sry but ... fuck koreans they already have the way better deal | ||

All of the koreans knew what they were getting into to be honest, and declining this late is just wrong. I mean, if 2k a person doesn't cover the expenses, I can understand that, but that's something they should have considered beforehand. The other issue is that NASL s2 was shaping up to be a lot more interesting then s1, mainly due to the influx of korean players. Now that they're all out, we're going to end up with night upon night of irrelevant low-level matchups. I want to support (and pay for) NASL, but if it's at 'foreigner' (IPL) level, there's no way in hell I'll pay for it. (It does explain why Hero switched to TL tho ;p) | ||

Let's be realistic here 2000 would barely pay for travel and hotel so if you lose in the first round you are spending money to participate in a tournament in the other side of the world You guys need to remember that GSL has a house for gamers and provides all accommodations they are simply asking for the same treatment. 100% of the travel costs and the entrance tournament fee as well as no deposit. Those demands are not really unrealistic from Koreans, they just might not be in the current budget for NASL. All world tournament players were invites, thus could decline and many probably would if they had to pay their way. The Koreans had already accepted the rules/got in the tournament, then got everything paid for at a 1/16 chance to win $50K. It would be like world tournament player accepting the inviting, then the day before his flight saying he wants more money. | ||

We paid $1,192 for each ticket. The hotel cost was $353 for the entire event. Travel cost was about $80 per person (shuttle service to and from). This averages out about $1650, factoring in meals ($50 per day even) ... giving each player $2,000 should cover that. Then why not just say to them "we're covering your entire costs," instead of putting a limit on it. Thats rather dumb. you tell the Koreans that you'll cover 2k. they say to you they want you to cover it all. Well if 2k will cover it then tell them that you'll cover it all. seems like really poor thinking on NASL's part. | ||

What are you talking about? I'm managing Team Liquid and I can tell you that the planetickets cost around 1200 $ for a return ticket. Hotel during the event wouldn't be more than 400$ and then you can eat and drink for less than 50$ a day. What's the problem here? 2000 $ is more than sufficient to cover all costs. | ||
