Is it possible to be TOO hyped?

First off, hi, this is my first blog.

Next, oh my god, I'm SO STOKED for NASL. But now that I know that it's a 5 night a week event, I don't even know how I'm going to keep up with Starcraft. I plan to buy a premium package for it to accompany my premium package for GSL, so I'll have the VODs, but between my social life(my friends, my girlfriend, my family), being a fulltime student, working fulltime, NASL, GSL, Dreamhack, IEM, MLG, ESL stuff, smaller cups such as the FXOpen stuff, AND THE PRETTY BIG TOURNAMENTS THAT HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN MENTIONED YET(I have confirmation that these exist), I don't know how I'm going to follow everything. I have hard choices to make here, and I'm so hyped up for all of it. I want to consume all of this content. Every single tournament excites me.

How will I ever choose?

Of course, this is the problem you want to have as an esports fan. It's like having too much ice cream or something. But it's a surprisingly uncomfortable place to be.

I am personally not complaining at all. Much better than what we had in BW.
"Oh lets watch the koreans play again". And those are played while im sleeping.

I only follwo GSL, Dreamhack, IEM, ESL by results here on tl. MLG I plan on watching sometimes (like dallas)

But I am really pumped for the NASL. Finally something that takes place in my timezone. With a free stream, and a premium stream.

i think you are too hyped lol.
what makes you wish to follow any single tournament? the games are not that great either. imo try to keep up with the final games in every league, and watch games every couple of days of a matchup you might find interesting.
it is impossible to work, have a social life, study, keeping up with starcraft and hobbies.
the day has 24 hours, not 32
i personally only watch finals now,and download a handful of replays every couple of weeks.
i don't need more i got a life

If I only followed the finals of tournaments, I would think GSL is garbage, haha.

You're just going to have to be selective about what you follow, like any sports fan. If you're a super baseball fanatic you still can't come close to watching all the games around the world. Even the people the watch every game in one league are freaks. Generally you follow a team, catch most of those games and then watch recap shows. We're gonna need some good recap shows for sure.
It's supposed to be automatic but actually you have to press this button.

Personally, I'd love to see an eSportsCenter on NASL.tv. That'd kick ass

Fantastic. Final year of highschool and all these distractions come out. SC2 and all it's tournament furry. It wasn't that big a hinderance with BW because most of the stuff happen when I sleep but now...

It's good that I've submitted all of my college apps already... but bad that senior grades still matter...

At this point I'm not sure if it's such a good idea to begin dumping so much money into a tournament when a game is less than a year old.

I remember when i used to follow the war3 scene there was this show called imbalanced (nothing to do with artosis/idra) that was pretty much a recap show where the host(theycallhimseed) made some awesome reviews of the leagues(like 1 show per big tournament and he showed scenes from the games, had tables with scores, groups etc.). It was really awesome since you only needed to watch those 20 mins he posted and you'd know pretty well what happened in a tournament and if there were any games you thought were really good you could go watch those in particular.
