This is a problem because if you don't place most of the bets you can't get remotely close to winning. To be clear: I have no problem with NASL, only with NASL being on liquibets. Poll: Which of the following do you follow? GSL (177) Both (46) NASL (9) 232 total votes Your vote: Which of the following do you follow? | ||

I know there are plenty of people who don't Liquibet, or look at the Liquibets and just pick one, etc. but for people like myself that take the Liquibets semi-seriously, it's tough to be accurate about the NASL bets compared to the GSL. | ||

I say keep the Liquibet, even though it is, indeed, not even remotely close to the entertainment value of GSL. | ||

I'd rather see MLG or IPL games in Liquibets, since those are real tournaments, and let the NASL finals be in there too. It's just the league games that are too much. | ||

You hear that Cruncher goes inactive but you don't know if he's still playing his games or if they were played before or what happened. You've got a player that was slumping heavily three weeks ago but has figured things out now... do you bet on him or not? It's basically just a guessing game instead of an actual test of knowledge. The integrity of the Liquibet is in question, too. Who's to say that someone who knows a player in the NASL personally won't get help with his Liquibet? Or users on the website like iNcontroL who have to bet on their own games which have already been played. I'm not accusing iNcontroL of anything and maybe he refrains from placing bets on his own games but that isn't exactly fair to him either. He should have an equal opportunity for points as everyone else on this site. Liquibet isn't serious business at all so it doesn't matter. But I'd honestly prefer to have NASL taken out since the games are not played anywhere close to live, games turn out to be walkovers far too often, and there isn't enough transparency from NASL on what and when is exactly going on in their league when it comes to the games. | ||

I stopped liquibetting due to the number of liquibets I had to make (I like to read up on the players so it took too much time) But I'm all for less liquibets. exactly my opionen as well on the topic | ||

Some games will be weeks off. You can tell by patches how old the games are occasionally. Other players have stated the games were played weeks earlier. | ||

I agree as well. Used to watch NASL for some of the korean stars, but stopped in season 2. Would like to see more tournament choices such as WCG. | ||

so the majority says that they will rather PAY to see matches of KOREANS at UNWATCHABLE TIMES than the matches of the TOP FOREIGNERS who play in a league with A LOT OF GAMES and FOR A HUGE PRIZEPOOL at PERFECTLY WATCHABLE TIMES and WITH A REBROADCAST thats quite odd | ||

I also am unsure why people are saying things like: It's ridiculous to try to guess who's going to win a game that was played a week ago, or two or maybe even three. Has something changed? I thought it was a day or two, not weeks. At least last I heard. | ||

for invite events like asus rog, or Dreamhack 8 man invitationals though I feel could be cool to have LB's for, as it's a very small set of matches. Have each match give 2 points in the ro8, and increase it as the invite goes? | ||

Great production, greater players. | ||

I watch both the GSL and NASL (as much as I can). I also am unsure why people are saying things like: Has something changed? I thought it was a day or two, not weeks. At least last I heard. They are dine weeks in advance this season. That's the biggest problem with nasl and liquidbet. The games are just old so its hard to accurately judge those games. | ||
