Just dammit. I'm so impressed with the difference between NASL S1 and NASL S2. It's almost night and day to how everything is being produced. I don't know what you guys did post-season, but I've been so happy watching NASL the past week.

When NASL first started, opening day was pretty fucking bad. I wasn't really that impressed with S1 and I honestly stopped caring about it until the finals. Whether it was the stream lag issues, audio issues, the fact that it just seemed so piss-poor compared to what was promised, it all deterred me away from watching it consistently.

Even though right now, NASL isn't perfect. It has its issues, like the whole korean fiasco, I wasn't even sure if It was going to make it to a S2 during the middle of S1 with all of its issues. For me, NASL isn't perfect. It isn't a GSL, nor will it ever be something like that to me. It doesn't have the same vibe, the top korean players, the live audience, it just won't have any of that, but it honestly doesn't matter to me. The NASL doesn't need anything like that, for me , it presents something new, something homegrown, its honestly exciting seeing it grow.

To Gretorp, Xeris, all of the NASL staff.

You guys having fucking impressed the shit out of me. Everything has been such an improvement, from casting to production quality. Thank you for making my weds-sundays pretty fucking awesome.

BTW wanna give a shoutout to my gf who made all the graphics ~_~

True story. I told a certain NASL owner who is no longer part of the equation that my gf was good and they should hire her for graphics, but he didn't believe me until the offseason when they finally hired her when she moved to LA to stay with me.

I thought this was going to be a bm thread and I was going to be very sad... But I think I agree, NASL is amazing, and has really improved. I really like how they add in the news and replay analysis stuff too.

Would love for NASL to have a live audience with a solid studio base....would be beyond sexy!

But this season has definitely been impressive, loved the News thing on todays broadcast...I've been wanting something like that for a long time!

Yeah man. See, I am still impressed. I did not think that season 1 was as bad as people hated on it for, but I am impressed with season 2 so far. Also, to Gretorp, as a caster, you seem to be stepping up your game. I was getting annoyed with your casting in Season 1, but you seem much more professional. Good job guys!

That probably explains why the graphics are so amateur, especially when considered to IPL and TSL. I mean, it's not like your GF is bad at it so don't take it the wrong way, but the work just doesn't look professional in the way a legitimate non e-sports organization would do it.
