NASL's allegations turn out to be baseless.

- NASL apologizes for misrepresenting S2CON

- NASL's allegations turn out to be baseless, according to coachs Lee Hyung Seop and Choi Yoon Sang



Starcraft II conference (S2CON) has released a statement that korean players' withdrawal from NASL season 2 is not related to S2CON. Through its official website, S2CON explained that the events leading to the recent NASL troubles were not actions taken under the supervision S2CON, but rather were actions taken by the individual teams. S2CON also clarifed that they have not transmitted nor received any official communication with NASL.



NASL replied that

To clarify: I don't know the exact dynamic that is going on in Korea right now. However, what I do know is that it was (apparently) a collective decision of Korean teams. My first draft had written "SC2 Korean Team Committee." In an effort to not write that every time, I wrote SC2Con upon learning that SC2Con was a committee of the Korean teams.



If, this was just the decision of a few of the teams, then I of course would like to apologize to SC2Con as an organization for mentioning their name.



...



So it's hard for me to know what is going on in Korea right now -- but I truly would like to apologize for using SC2Con incorrectly if it is indeed the case that the organization is not responsible!







However, in the same reply NASL also asserted that

However, I am particularly puzzled by several things: a) namely that FXO was arguing with SC2Con about sC participating in the NASL, and that the MVP team is currently trying to participate in NASL but being blocked by SC2Con.





alleging that S2CON is harming NASL.



PlayXP contacted coaches of FXO and MVP to get a clarification and this allegation turns out to be baseless.



Coach Lee Hyung Seop from FXO (Choya) told us that "The decision to withdraw was made because sC didn't wish to participate. We didn't have any kind of argument regarding participation in NASL with S2CON."



Coach Choi Yoon Sang from MVP also told us that "We are surpised to hear this since we never had an intention to participate in NASL. It is true that compLexity, our partner, suggested participation but we declined because it would be difficult for us to do so. This suggestion came after other korean teams have declined and there has been no direct contact with NASL."



Regarding an allegation that S2CON is blocking korean team's participation, coach choi countered NASL's account by saying that



"It is nonsense to suggest S2CON is blocking [our] participation. If we wanted to participate, we would do so regardless of whatever S2CON's wishes were."



There are rumors that S2CON is blocking korean team's participation in foreign scene. However, it's been confirmed that since their creation in Nov, 2010 S2CON has left the decision of participating in foreign events to each team's discretion and have not interfered in any way in this regard since.



Original article in Korean:

+ Show Spoiler + NASL 주장, 사실무근으로 확인

- NASL, 협의회 인지(認知) 잘못에 대해 사과

- 이형섭-최윤상 감독, NASL측 주장 사실무근



스타크래프트2 협의회(이하 협의회)가 '이번 NASL 시즌2에 한국 선수 참가 철회가 협의회와는 무관하다'는 입장을 발표했다. 협의회는 공식 홈페이지를 통해 참가 철회로 인한 분쟁은 각 게임단 자체적으로 진행된 내용이라 해명했다. 이어서 협의회는 NASL로부터 공식적인 내용을 전달하거나 받은 적도 없다고 밝혔다.



이 소식을 접한 NASL측은 “한국에서 진행되는 일을 정확하게 알지 못한다. 하지만, 우린 한국팀들의 공통된 결정을 들었고 첫 계약서에는 ‘스타크래프트2 한국 팀 협의회(SC2 Korean Team Committee)’라고 작성되어 있었다. 이후 계약 때에도 이렇게 작성되어 협의회라고 적은 것이다. 만약, 소수 팀들의 결정이었으면 스타2협의회(S2CON)에 사과하고 싶다”며 자신들의 실수에 사과하는 뜻을 내비쳤다.



하지만, 그는 “김승철(FXO소속, sC)와 MVP팀의 소속 선수들이 NASL에 참가하려 하는데 ‘S2CON’이 출전을 막고 있어 당황하고 있다”는 입장을 밝히며 ‘S2CON’가 NASL에 피해를 주고 있다고 주장했다.



이에 PlayXP는 김승철이 소속되어 있는 FXO의 이형섭 감독과 MVP의 최윤상 감독에게 확인해 본 결과 사실 무근인 것으로 확인됐다.



이형섭 감독은 “김승철 선수 본인이 출전하지 않기로 해 철회 한 것”이라며 “NASL 출전과 관련해 S2CON과 그 어떤 논쟁을 벌인 적이 없다”고 밝혔다. 최윤상 감독 또한 “처음부터 NASL에 출전할 의사가 없었는데 이런 말을 듣게 되어 황당하다. 형제 팀인 ‘compLexity’로부터 NASL 출전 제안을 받은 것은 사실이나, 팀 사정상 힘들어 정중히 거절했다, 또 이 제안은 한국 팀들의 출전 철회 후 온 것이고 NASL로부터 직접적인 교섭은 없었다”고 밝혔다. ‘S2CON’의 참가 저지에 대한 질문에는 “만약, 우리가 출전하고 싶었다면 협의회 의사와는 무관하게 출전할 수 있는데 출전을 저지한다니 웃기는 소리다”며 NASL측의 주장을 반박하기도 했다.



한편, 일각에선 ‘S2CON’이 국내 팀의 해외 진출을 막고 있는 것이란 설이 일고 있지만, S2CON은 지난 해 11월 발족 당시부터 해외 대회 출전 여부는 팀 자율에 맡겼으며 그에 따른 부분에 대해 관여한 바가 전혀 없는 것으로 확인 됐다.
