Hello everyone! From the good amount of interest, support and acceptance we received from the previous thread regarding my idea that I put out to the public yesterday regarding a first ever low ranking TL-community based Starleague, I am safe to say that this once crazy dream have become a reality!!! So for all those who are interested of joining and participating in this individual fun and competitive Starleague, please sign right up! (Remember to sign up only if you are interested and have the willingness of spending time and effort to play this through.)
Hello TL Casters and Streamers. My name, as you may have already noticed, is wishbones. My job, is to recruit those willing and worthy enough of being streamers, and or casters for the NSL. I am in charge of getting the casters and streamers together. I will need a total of one (1) main streamer with a very good connection, and three (3) main casters who are enthusiastic, energetic, who can make games exciting, and who have good levels of game sense to apply towards casting an NSL game.
Do you have to be a pro at commentating to tryout? What kind of connection do I need in order to be a streamer for NSL? Do you have backups in case one of the main streamers/casters is not present? ---
I will also be selecting “backups”. These backups will be runner ups for NSL Streamers, or Casters position. I will need a total of three (3) backup streamers, and three (3) backup casters. This will total it out to four (4) streamers, and six (6) casters. Please NOTE: You do not need to be a pro commentator in order to be selected. If you want to tryout, send your submissions regardless of how you feel your casting is. You may fit my requirements, and if I like what I hear and see, then you could very well be one of my choices. As for the streaming position, you will require a very good connection so that lag is minimal if any, and the quality of the stream is as good as it can possibly be.
When will the matches be broadcasted? How do I become an NSL streamer or caster? What if I don’t have any commentaries pre-recorded? ---
NSL will be using Livestream when the Ro36 begins. Before that you can all just sit back and relax, but after that the NSL will need you to be there, and on time. But before I just go ahead and make a thread that will recruit anybody, I have decided to come up with an application system so that I can recruit a select few. To apply for this position, you will submit your commentaries to me via PM/URL/LINK/THIS THREAD. Whether it is on your VOD from Livestream (tell me which ones to watch), an uploaded video on YouTube, or even an upload I must download, it does not matter. Just so long as I get to see your current level of casting. If you don’t already have a VOD, YouTube, or an uploaded video/audio file, then you must try to find a way to get that done.
Will the matches be live or replay? What are the dates of the broadcasts? What happens if I am a no show, and I am a main streamer or caster? What if I am a main streamer or caster but can’t be there on the day of the event? ---
The first set (Ro36) will be casted by replay up until Ro8. After that matches will be live! The dates I will need you to be available on are (YET TO BE DETERMINED), so please do not apply unless you are 100% positive that you can be there. This is because I don't want to have any of the main streamers or casters I picked to back out in the last minute. This would leave me no choice but to re-pick.
For this reason alone, I will take in three (3) extra streamers and three (3) extra casters as backups in the event that someone from the original roster cannot be there on the dates of the Livestreams, (sick, family issue, school, or work, etc). In the event that one of the main streamers or casters fails to be there, I will appoint one of the backups in his place for that day.
Afterwards the main caster/streamer will continue to do his job as planned. If failure to appear was not due to any of the above reasons (sick, family, school, work, etc), and is simply just a no show, then the position will be given to the next in line from one of the backups. As for the no show, he will be relieved of his duties as a streamer or caster in the NSL permanently.
What program will we be using for our audio? Who's livestream channel do we need to use? ---
I have decided that Ventrilo will be the best possible program to use, you can get it at Ventrilo Download's Page. The only thing is that you will need to use headphones, or figure out how to stop audio from repeating itself. By that I mean that with just speakers, when I talk to you, my voice would come out of your speakers, and talk back into the mic allowing me to hear myself over and over. I also have a server up and running, ready to go. For those of you who get chosen, I will give you the info and password.
The casters will use the Novice Starleague's Livestream Channel, which is currently verified, and ready for action. When I pick the streamer's, I will give each of you the username/password information to log into the account, and or assign your stream program to be able to use the account. This I can help with if you do not understand.
The date has yet to be decided, so please for now just apply since we don't know exactly when Ro36 will start.
I want to try and get as many entries as I can bySaturday, January 9th, 2010. Please give a PM, Link, or URL to wishbones if it is regarding being a streamer, or caster for NSL. I have setup a Livestream.com account that has been verified for those of you interested in streaming.
Thanks!!

Casters have been chosen. MrWinkles, Pokebunny, Whiplash Streamer has been chosen. Mystlord - Backup Casters: konadora Backup Streamers:
NSL casting and streaming department still needs backups. So there are still three slots open on both casting and streaming.
anyone edit: I've seen up to 50 viewers for one Live stream of D- up to D+. So I'm sure with a well picked team of Streamers/Casters, along with some players, it will make a great NSL.
I know I'll be watching. so far though, MrWinkles may be one of our casters, and he has his previous cast, linked in this thread, so check out the possible muscle we have on our commentator list, if it continues like this until friday, I will most definitely be one of the casters, seeing as I am in charge of Commentators and Streamers for this NSL.
So I have no experience whatsoever but I'm gonna try to record a few test commentaries and get them in to you hopefully by tomorrow. Would you prefer casting a pro vod or a replay since to my understanding the first little bit is in replays?

it does not matter, i will just need to see how you are while casting.

Damn you reply fast. Anyways, I'll maybe do one of each so you can see my mad observing skillz (skillz with a "z" yo) with replays.
I could probably try streaming, but I think there should be some way to test what kind of quality you are looking for. Also do you expect the streamers to get their own verified channels?

verified, gotta some co-commentaries/streams in the VODs.
edit: dunno why it won't link.

The time [yet to be determined] is because the actual qualifiers have not yet begun. So until those start, and then an Ro36 date is settled. I cannot answer this question. I will most definitely update the OP when we start the qualifiers, because NSL wants things to move along quickly and they will give me the date for when Ro36 will start, this is the first time NSL will broadcast.

sounds goood, do you have any pre-recorded vods of starcraft though?
Yep, arena3 is on pholon's ondemand, I could cast an example replay sometime soon if you want. I recorded a few c-fpvods as well but those were like 10 months ago when I was like c- level.

I also have a stream now! My mom upgraded my internet and now I can stream without lag. :D
I can stream...I'm verified, though my streaming depends what day and what time...but I'm available if anyone needs it.
Yeah, and quality of stream isn't bad...so yeah....it's actually pretty good relative to others.
On top of that....um.....I have pretty good theory and knowledge of the game. I HAVE been playing it for quite some time...though my rank is not the best indicator of my skills...
Then again, there's always a difference between skill and coaching. Just look at the Korean coaches eh? :D
I'd be interested in casting but I don't have experience with all matchups and haven't done any official casting, although I have done podcasts and stuff like that, I think I have good voice for the job and can put the enthusiasm into it if you want a specialized caster
