I really like that someone finally started to use instant replays. I hope it will become a standard at all bigger events.

Not to take ANYTHING away from the NASL, but the first instant replay that I can remember in eSports was done by GotFrag and TsN during Counter-strike broadcasts circa 2004-2006. I do believe this is the first time we've seen it in StarCraft 2.

I think it's important to give credit where credit is due. Of course after GotFrag and TsN, DirecTV's Championship Gaming Series utilized Instant Replay nearly every single match - but in all fairness, they had 2 production trucks and full ISO's on every damn camera they were utilizing.

Grats to NASL for bringing it back to this space, but it certainly was not the first time we've seen an instant replay in eSports. AND I SURE AS HELL HOPE IT'S NOT THE LAST!!!!!!

What if events started using multiple observers? I know it would probably be quite expensive to execute live, because you'd need observers working together so they're showing different things, and another person to choose what to show, but with this box you could have another observer specifically dedicated to showing plays like drops and burrowed infestors and then at times when there is a lot of multipronged action and it's difficult for the main observer to give all the action sufficient screen time they could give us the instant replay of the drop when there is a bit of a lull in the action.

All we need now is for casters to be able to draw on the screen like in football games/instant replays.

Great blog.

NASL season 3 has been amazing. The player pool, the format and money on each match change, the casting, the various small sideshows, the production value, everything has really improved immensely. Really enjoying it.

totally completely wholeheartedly agree.

Thanks to the OP for a blog that gives them the shoutout they deserve! <3

I completely missed that and I cannot believe it took people this long to do it.

Thank you Jason. Nice to see NASL taking the initiative. Definitely headed in the right direction and hopefully I'll be in town for when the finals come here.

I wish NASL would display a large blinking R (like in sports broadcasts) when they instant replay a scene. Sometimes even the casters did not notice that suddenly they were on an instant replay.
