I do think they could have handled the announcement better. So much interest have been put on the applications and they probably could have used that to their advantage. The way they are releasing the names now seems lacklustre imo especially compared to TSL. I think even the Steelseries EU vs NA was kinda more exciting in their announcement of names. Dreamhack Stockholm also has those silhouettes that makes everything kinda mysterious. NASL could have "milked" this a bit more imo as this is actually worth hyping for. However, i am aware that these announcements are certainly not the main point of the leagues at all so it will be unwise to judge them now.

And i kinda think the first week is probably quite important . TSL 3 had such an awesome opening week that it left a very good first impression and ensure that people will follow them subsequent weeks over other tournaments. The way starcraft scene right now, i feel that there are way more tournament than what the average viewers can follow and people will have to pick and choose. Like we saw the very awesome jtv invitational and gcpl final overshadowed by TSL 3 although they were definitely very very high level tournament with sick good prize money.

That is why i think NASL need to start out with a bang to secure the attention. Of course more important than that would be sustaining and improving the quality afterwards. But still, something to keep in mind and i hope NASL will succeed.

Coming from a non-SC2 follower. You guys expect TOO much. Give it time or SC2's growth will slow even more.

Give any big tournament a chance. Stop expecting too much.

Yeah....SC2 e-sports wise is a looottt more explosive than BW ever was because it had the platform to bounce off of.

More sponsorships, money, viewerships, and tournaments all are things that SC2 is gaining quickly. I think that even if I don't like the game, SC2 deserves some credit for this because I don't remember these things on massive scales happening back in BW.

And in short, expecting too much will make you a spoiled child who expects that SC2 brings him all the pleasure that he wants.

Don't become that child.
