Sounds like a fair ruling, a perfect scenario would be separate events not conflicting with each other, or players being strict with their schedules, but it doesn't make sense for a player to not register for every event they can.

Incoming people that hate on July because he "is too scared" to play against WhiteRa.

The guy waited for 4 hours, what more can you say? Anyone who dares pull some bullshit like that is just asking for a ban.

I'm actually kinda disappointed July took the free win over rescheduling :O But then again I would have been cheering for Whitera so I'm biased.

Respect for July for waiting that long so early in the morning. Unfortunate, but understandbale. Thanks for the update NASL.

Definitely understandable that they waited for 4 hours, but their PR staff is doing a damn good job of spinning everything in as positive of a light as possible. Hopefully this doesn't happen again/too often since there are probably going to be lots of conflicts with other tournaments throughout the season.

see i don't understand why this wasn't solved beforehand. why not try and make sure that everyone who was playing in dh would not be playing the same day as they would be nasl. does not make sense, and poor planning by nasl.

i assume they would not ask players in gsl to do this. so why does it fall on white-ra. this is nasl's fault

white-ra might have had a flight to catch or something (which would explain why he didn't respond).

However you'd assume Whitera knew when his match was so it is interesting he would ignore NASLs attempts to contact him.

Pretty strange scheduling to be honest when it's all prerecorded anyway, but whatever...

Totally sucks that this match won't be played but I can't fault the decision of the NASL. It sucks, I looked at the schedule for today's games and was all excited about seeing July vs White-Ra and then I read a few seconds later that it's not taking place. It's a sucky situation for all involved but I think they did the correct thing.

Ah well, understandable I guess...would have loved to see those guys clash, but I'm almost sure July would have won anyway.

White-Ra probably knew about the LAN center, but was too pissed off at the way the finals went to even think about playing the NASL.
+ Show Spoiler +

After falling to 2-2 after being up 2-0, White-Ra failed to scout MC's proxy-gateway zealot cheese (Additionally, he scouted close positions first despite there being fixed cross-position spawns.).

What a bad SC2 world.

There are some many awesome tournaments with high price pools going on, that players and viewers have problems to follow them all.

Terrible situation.
