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.
