These are indeed very tough questions.
I am glad there still are some critical tl'ers left. Especially number 3 is a very good one. If the owner always holds a speech at the end of the tournament, he should continue to do so. No exceptions allowed.

This is a terrible thread made only to try to make NASL look bad after a fantastic event.

The poor turn out is due to the decline of the game, people have been jumping boat for a long time and the game requires new blood to keep it going which hasn't happened since the younger blood is hyped with it's own game aka LoL. HotS has yet to exceed peoples expectations.

Someone shit in this guy's cherrios this morning? This isn't a post with "hard questions;" this is a post with you taking the piss out of NASL for some reason or another. You're clearly not a journalist and clearly these answers are completely unsubstantiated. Get over yourself.

NASL had awesome stream production this season -- it has become by far my favorite online esports show.

For next season, it would be great to see their online presence get a little more informative and organized. Posting the prize pool earlier, for example. And how about a list of how much money is getting won by the participants on a weekly basis and/or through any special show-matches?

It's weird to me how much many of these big tournaments rely entirely on liquipedia to share information about their events. Seems like you'd want to be your own face of your organization, drive traffic to your site, etc.

As for the OP, I'm sure Hero and the others will be paid. NASL has been reliable, afaik. I don't think they pulled a big crowd in Long Beach, but it wasn't really an attendance-friendly event. Two days of 10+ hours of content is tough to sit through in a theater and much better to watch at home. Maybe they can come up with some new ideas for the finals event next season(s).

Post seems more butt hurt that the NASL finals were not held in Canada again.

I thought it was a poor attendance but, i also didn't care about seeing 10000s of fans in an audience :S i care about watching the stream and the players playing.

I thought NASL S4 was good, had some great players in the last 8, and DeMuslim vs Violet games were amazing and i had alot of fun watching them. Also listening to Day9 Soe, Bitterdam cast and analyze the games. Also, NASL DOG, was so cute :D

That's exactly how I read them. NASL Season 5 and 6 have been confirmed. Hero Won 30k. This is a witch-hunt of nothing.

source?

with solid sources, other than hearsay, i can update the post.. as i stated in the post itself.

Just FYI - I was one of many working on the NASL4 page; We do _not_ have a reference for the prizepool on the page. In fact, several contributors attempted to get information on the prizepool before the tournament started, but failed. The numbers on Liquipedia are based on what has been mentioned on stream by casters as the tournament was going on.


thanks for the feedback

A tough question to the OP could be: Do you wanna point out how much better of a place Canada is to host an event?

Canada is a giant country.
its a very specific place that i am referring to. its NASL's #1 city for online viewership.

Toronto =/= Charlottetown or Whitehorse or Flin Flon

Sounds like someone is pissed they didn't go back to Canada again.

Not sure though -- never met a pissed Canadian before.

Seasons 5 and 6



#1 apparently the venue was a lot smaller, I guess that's the only decent question you have. #4 I get you're from Canada but that's not a tough question, you just want them to come back to Toronto.

Not such a great thread.

I don't see any reason why what the casters said the prize pool was should be doubted. This reeks of a witch hunt.

you don't know many Canadians then...

let me introduce you to Canada's most famous embassador of hockey: Don Cherry

He was also talking shit during the entire LR thread. It's probably best to just ignore him.

See, I just wanna know why nobody does events in NYC. Seriously. MLG has done tons of stuff here that I couldn't go see because they weren't having spectators. Whatup with that?

Not such a great thread.


it was already stated by a guy who edits the Season4 LIquipedia article that they got that information from what the casters stated during the broadcast despite their efforts to get the prize pool info directly from NASL before the event.

if u watch the Hotbid//Slasher video, Slasher and Hotbid state only 110 people showed up.
It was no where near a sell out which would've been about 850.

so they went from 5000 in season 3 to ~110 in Season 4. Ouch, that is a big drop.

Thanks for the solid sources of info on Season 5 and 6.
This thread was born about 12 hours after that tweet so its not like they published in 10,000 places that Seasons 5 and 6 were going to happen. And , its only a single tweet. But, its better than nothin!

Obviously, if they are hosting Seasons 5 and 6 then they are going to pay the prize money.

1 reason they probably held the event where they did.

i think Long Beach, California is a lot closer to the NASL HQ making an event there far more convenient than a 5,000 km trip to "Toronto".
