TL;DR:

Matches will now air on Wednesday-Sunday as opposed to Tuesday-Saturday. To facilitate this change, there will be no games on Friday of this week.

NASL feels it did not communicate effectively enough with Naniwa yesterday. While Strelok has still been awarded the win, Naniwa remains at 0-0 and will not be fined.

From now NASL will allow players to postpone their match by one day if they need to reschedule because of major LAN events.

NASL will not put the decision to take a free win in the player's hands, since that put the player taking the free win in an uncomfortable position. NASL will make that decision themselves.

If you are annoyed with any of these changes, be sure to read the full statement from the NASL before posting about it.

We are going to be changing our format slightly to improve viewer experience and player scheduling conflicts.

The broadcast schedule will be moved forward by one day and matches will now air Wednesday through Sunday at their regular times.

This change will occur this week so there will be no broadcast on Friday. Friday's matches will air on Saturday. From there on out we will continue with our adapted schedule.

We want to apologize for the delay in our broadcast this Tuesday and the absence of the anticipated match-up between JulyZerg and White-Ra.

There was also an issue while trying to film the first game of the day, Strelok-Naniwa. At first Naniwa asked if we could reschedule for a different day. Naniwa then asked for time to rest before the match as he had been traveling. Meanwhile we asked Strelok and his manager if that was OK, Strelok agreed to wait.

Naniwa had not logged in to the player channel and did not see this message. Later it became clear that he did not receive this message from us.

While this was going on we saw that Naniwa was laddering. We were taken aback and went to Mouz's manager to ask if he wanted to take a win.

Immediately after the problem we called Dignitas' manager Odee to discuss and he stands by our decision to award the game to Strelok. However, we could have communicated better and will not be penalizing Naniwa; he will remain at 0-0 and will not be fined.

Previously we had allowed players to delay their match on a given day if they gave us advance warning. From now on we will continue to film according to our regular schedule but we will allow players to postpone their match by one day if they need to reschedule because of major LAN events. As always, emergencies or illness will allow rescheduling.

This delay will allow us to be more flexible to LAN events as they occur and to make sure that we can air every single match that should be played.

Also to be noted, waiting on players to arrive is heavily affecting our schedule. Many times we have been forced to break our schedule and film games out of series. This increases our edit time immensely in addition to throwing the casters off. When compounded with our tight encode schedule it can have major effects on our stream timeline.

By adding a two-day lead time from shoot to show, we think we can make sure that every game where the players arrive on time will be played.

We are also no longer going to put the burden of choosing to take the win on to the players. We had been asking them as we thought that they would prefer that, but based on feedback we see that there is too much pressure for them to not take the win.

Thank you for your continued support.

It's interesting that they're giving Strelok a win but not giving Naniwa a loss. Hopefully it doesn't come down to some kind of wild tie in that division that has to be broken because Naniwa has one less game played than the other 9 players.

Thanks for the info.

A tournament as large as the NASL was obviously going to have some bumps the first time around (as the GSL1 did I am assuming).
Survival is winning, everything else is bullshit.

I really hope this isn't because of the negative reaction to them awarding July the win in a similar situation with he and White-Ra's matches. It seems like NASL is a little too sensitive to forum-goer feedback, if that is indeed the case.

Otherwise, I do see the need to have more than one day between the game being played and the broadcast. It allows them to be more flexible with their schedule, which is apparently an issue, and more time for production.

I like that they're willing to change if they see the need, but I just hope it's not because of some people on a forum, but rather their own thoughts on the matter. NASL should be run the way the leaders of it see fit. Giving in to every demand made by the internet is just going to make it worse in the end.

So if Naniwa didn't play, they were going to fine him? How much, and on what grounds? :O

If you miss your match, you get fined... how much, I'm sure only the players and organizers know.

I must say this is a good plan as it seems to me especially with all the travel from lan tourneys around the world and from NASL being so long that it needs a little more flexibility for themselves. Also of note is this would give the guys working on post to be able to get it done in a much more relaxed manner as well as give them time to add more to the airing time.

Just my 2 cents

The fine comes from the deposit they make at the start of the tournament if you didn't know.

It's nice to see an organization making changes as necessary along the way, not having things set in stone.

I assume they have a system set up with all the fines listed, for each corresponding action.

(Remember the $250 each player had to put up front, similar to ESL's point system, when you get all your money taken away, you're DQ'd)


Edit2: haha even a retroactive snipe by motbob

Totally fine with me. Less conflict with GSL. We're actually reaching more SC2 than I can reasonably handle lol. Good that they seem to have set a solid precedent, hopefully it will remain unwavering so as to prevent future conflict. Wonder if White-Ra will ask to remain 0-0?

Damn - another epic game i was looking forward to.

At least they are acting to prevent stuff like this happening in the future. I like the ongoing management by the NASL staff; itll be interesting if not attributing a loss to Nani comes into play.

I sense more drama

Does NASL still begin at the same time today then? What happened that made Strelok have to take the free win? A LAN?

I was expecting something like this when I saw it was only on a one day delay makes sence to have another delay but its a little more akward now.

I like the idea of postpoining a game maybe have saterday the long day?

Actually, this is pretty good. Now that I think about it, it really does look like they're taking the community's ideas, no matter how trollishly they're presented, and trying to make them into something helpful to make the league succeed. First the intermissions everyone requested, then this - hopefully they continue on this road to make the NASL succeed.
