- NASL: White-Ra VS July - July wins by default
Due to the Dreamhack finals White-Ra was playing in, he apparently was unable to play his first NASL game in time, even after a long extension. Very unfortunate indeed.
We are sorry to inform you that White-Ra and July will not face off today and that July has been awarded a 2-0 victory for the match.We hope this post will explain our decision to award a forfeit win to July. White-Ra informed us that he would be at the Dreamhack Invitational on Tuesday April 12th, which conflicted with his NASL game vs July. We knew there would be a problem only if he made it to the final, which he did.
I asked the Dreamhack organizers if they would keep one computer up for White-Ra to play his match, and they declined, understandably, as they had to pack up their equipment and shut off the internet. We discussed postponing it, but that is something we really can’t do with such an aggressive broadcast schedule.SjoW had a similar situation to White-Ra as he was also participating in the event. SjoW informed us that there was a LAN center close by to the Dreamhack venue that the matches could be played from. SjoW managed to make arrangements to show up in order to play his match. After two emails and a phone call to White-Ra, I heard no response.
After four hours of waiting, we gave July the choice to take a free win or reschedule. Understandably, July chose to take the win, after waking up at 4:00 am to play his match and waiting patiently for 4 hours for White-Ra to become available.Because we had been in communication with White-Ra, we extended our 45 minute grace period to 4 hours. We are very sorry to both White-Ra, July, and the fans for this situation but it would be unfair at this point to allow a reschedule after July waited so long
