Great league!! Quikstriker, you should ask if you can put NSL events on the TL calendar so me and others don't miss this (I tend to forget things)

FAQ: Can I be in the top 4 seeds?
Answer: No, sorry but the first four seeds in NSL #1 is reserved for the ones who made this possible, the hosts, creators and sponsors of this league. But if you try really hard, I bet you can be a top seed on the next NSL!

wtf lol

this is a joke



Just so we're clear, Striker will NOT be sitting on his ass while you guys are playing the first round. He will be handling complains or any other possible shenanigans that could happen to make sure that the tournament gets a good start.

It is NOT favoritism.

Eh? It's still favoritism, because you're showing yourselves special favor. Anyone that hosts something like this is expected to oversee it to begin with, seeding people in the first tournament is a spit in the face to the people who grind games to be eligible, and to those who barely qualify.
Also, can I be a tournament admin and get seeded, i promise i'll help out - that should secure me a spot in the top 16, no? Surely you can see that handling complaints ≠ playing starcraft, thus gives you no right to be seeded.

Ofcourse it's your tournament, but to me, seeding anyone but the best players makes no sense. Sorting the format out so those 4 spots are given to the deserving people shouldn't be that hard, and I don't see why you can't play the qualifiers yourselves.

Look, once the signup and all the details are figured out, there will be some changes around how this is going to work. As always, people are just simply impatient and unwilling to wait for the final details. Did I mention anywhere that what I mention is FINAL? I am trying to plan this out in a way it looks nice to everyone but here's the thing:

My co-host and I are busy making the list of you guys, organizing and planning for the dates, times, contacts, information and also how the brackets and formats are going to be. I only suggested the idea of us getting the first 4 seeds because otherwise

1. We won't be able to play ourselves because we are busy mod-ing and overseeing the Qualifier rounds where we have to see, judge, stream, and ref you guys. So then I might as well not play then but the whole part of the point is also for me to play with you guys too and join in the fun.

2. Trying to find the 4 seeds by having another tourney within a tourney to determine the seeds is pain in the ass. As well as taking people's time and having to extend another week to a possible 5-6 week NSL. Do you want this to be 2 months long for a single NSL or a month long with a new NSL each?

3. If you really don't like how it is done, I suppose you can make your own league and put into the same type or more effort than what we are doing. Seriously, why don't you go ahead and form a league where we can get at least 64 people bring interest to many TL players here?

I played over 50 games last season, that's like 1 week ago. I haven't got time to play 50 games until January, that ought to be good enough I hope.

For the Student pupil league, they used google spreadsheets, that could be something for this, to organize it easier. Also, timezones added to the signup would sounds like a good idea. Since my thursday night isn't what "Shurgen" above from canada means by it.

I guess it'll all be figured out when it starts, I'm hyped.
Thanks for the initiative!

I am a CPL player, so I play a bunch of games against teammates/coaches rather than a ton of ladder games, and therefore I may not have the required amount of games on my account. As a CPL player, though, its pretty clear that I am of the required level.
