It had been answered multiple times before Xeris even responded. His question was born out of laziness and bias. | ||

It's listed in the NASL Open rules that the runner-up is invited as a back-up player in the grand finals, here. What's at stake The winner of the tournament will receive a $500 travel stipend and a spot at the Grand Finals July 8-10 in Ontario, California. The second place finisher will receive a $500 travel stipend should he/she choose to attend the Grand Finals, and will be listed as a backup player. The Top 8 finishers will qualify for Season 2 of the North American Star League. NaNiwa had two chances for earning a grand finales spot. He did not played his best in the NASL playoffs and missed Top2 spot partially due to an early season w/o, so he had no one to blame for missing out but himself. It's unfortunate that any thread with NASL in the title will inevitably attract the thrones of TL folks whom made it their business to chase every shadow for their latest claim to how NASL has failed (or how it's a pyramid scheme, or how they're amataurish, et al). It's a scary proposition that the same people whom purports to wishing for E-sports to flourish in the west yet actively works to undermine one of the biggest tournament. Stay classy, TL. | ||

Personally I think this decision is worth some discussion, but for now rules are rules and it's not like they didn't inform people. | ||

Xeris already responded read up...and Naniwa isnt even the most deserving player it was Ace who had the best non playoff record. So stop the damn whining just cause it was naniwa that decided to post. | ||

The rule should be tweaked because it doesn't make sense to reward players coming through the open bracket at the expense of the players who've committed to the entire season. Open bracket shouldn't even exist, IMO. | ||

Personally I think this decision is worth some discussion, but for now rules are rules and it's not like they didn't inform people. i actually assumed that this was only applicable if the open tourney winner couldnt make it, which is why i didn't make much of it when it was first announced but if this is the case then i think its an issue that will have to be addressed in the next season | ||

Yes but you have to pay for Visa's so it'd be unfair to expect him to pay a load for his Visa, before he even knew if he could go or not + Is Strelok getting anything? like his place in the next NASL or some money? as it's not his fault he couldn't get the VISA | ||

Don't know how long it will be for Ukrainian, though, but I think normally a person could at least get a 12 months visa. Sad for Strelok though but it's hard to go and apply for visa without valid reasons. So I guess he had to wait until he was sure that he qualified for the grand final, so the interviewer would not reject him. Congratulation to Alive too. Yes, 10 years is the maximum length for any US tourist/business visa. However the actual length is set by the consular officer who interviews you and he may well decide to give you a visa good for a single trip. To be honest I think NASL should have stuck to their policy of not inviting people without visa, no exceptions. Oh well. | ||

I find it ridiculous that NightEnd was told he can't get in the league simply because he didn't show proof of a visa, and then a player like Strelok doesn't have one when he knew it was likely he would be playing in the US for quite awhile now. On top of that, replacing him with aLive instead of Naniwa? Why? Please don't tell me that an entire organization would actually get butthurt over a few words, and wouldn't be able to simply act professional and give the spot to a player who committed themselves to the entire season. Seriously... what is this...

There are rules, rules have been followed. Perhaps next season they will implement some format/rule/changes in general, but right now I am interested to see how another Korean will do in the fray.

I actually disagree with this, all other sports leagues, if you are BM, they punish you based on rules/powers that are generally agreed upon and that people know about (Throwing you out of a baseball game, ejection from a football game, fines etc etc). If the rules were that Naniwa would get the spot, but there were no rules excluding him from taking said spot due to BM, I would expect that he get the spot. However, this point is rather moot in this situation as the rules are that the open winner would get the first backup spot. | ||
