Priceless :D

GSL's live performances are something we all begrudgingly sit through to get to the games.
I love the GSL live performances. K-pop is a Starcraft tradition.
|
Hopefully the NASL can be bigger than GSL one day, in fan base and prize money
|
Excellent compilation right there. Those two pictures of incontrol and gretorp at the top are cute Gretorp is now registered in my books as an amazing guy Keep it up NASL!
|
Excellent work guys! and thanks for all the amzing interviews too.
|
Holy crap that's a long read, rereading that battle report makes me depressed, could've been another epic late game but MC took the risk :/
|
wow the background noise in all of these interviews is unbearable. very disappointing.

Hot_Bid isn't editing these articles to further some nefarious ESPORTS plot. It's amazing how often newsposts get accused of this though.

Great Write up! I was most disappointed with the format.... it was what?, a 9-10week season?, 2 week playoff? half a day to a day travel for most players? AND ITS A BEST OF THREE SINGLE ELIMINATION? that has to be changed, not fair to the players. Either make it double elimination best of 3 or best of 7 throughout , the finals could be best of 9.

Very nice article and long as well. So that's why Lindsey made up ZvG.

Good writeup except for
GSL's live performances are something we all begrudgingly sit through to get to the games.
K-Pop is where it's at, man.
Lookin forward to season 2!

I've seriously read the whole thing more than once now... its just so beautiful. Gretorp buddy.... you tried so hard man and it shows. I get nerd chills on the level of convulsions when i read the "beautiful" part of the stream recap. This should be a final edit its... powerful.
mighty powerful

the finals could be best of 9. The problem with anything over a bo5 is really, really tiring for the players, a bo7 is really already pushing it, a bo9 would just result in the last two games being kinda underwhelming; maybe if they put in long breaks in between the games (like an hour between the first 5 games and the last couple of games) it would be doable.
I do agree though, NASL got really lucky on the finals being possibly the most epic games SC2 has ever seen, but I don't think it's such a big deal, it'll give them a second chance, and if they step up their game and fix all their errors it'll be a great tournament that unites players from around the world, and if they don't they'll just fall off the map completely.

Well, NASL was "okey". The casting was awesome, but let day9 or anyone else of the 6 casters do the interview so we can get som decent questions out there.. Anna was okey, Lindsey can suck my ase.. She will never play a game, SC2 is from gamers for gamers she dosen't belong. And the streamsound was crap the soundbooth guy must have been drunk or something because it was good and i thought phew they fixed it. But after a while it went to terrible to again, comeone?! And NASL feelt poor, the booths looked homemade.. Anyhow lets stop bashing the games where amazing but the sound and interview questions where lame and they dragged down the overall impression of NASL.

Awesome writeup, completely brilliant.
Shindigs piece was incredible. Very, very well written. The BarCraft stories were great as well.
And the Gretorp interview. It's beyond me how people can hate Gretorp. I couldn't dislike him even if I tried!
Oh, and White-ra. Really, White-ra.
|
Guess what I did between 1600 and 1625 @work? What a great article.
|
The first time i watched Nasl i was like "oh wow this is brutal". But as the season went on, it got better and better. The finals ended up being awesome, really great work, and hope next season is just as good!
