My real big question is why 50 players? Some people are going to get buys through rounds and who chooses who gets a buy?

Its 5 divisions of 10 people... But after the first round you end up with 5 players, so someone gets a buy... Less I don't understand the format.


... It's not an elimination bracket. It's a round-robin group.
Someone call down the Thunder?

I can see situations where Team battles could be controversial in the group stage. Having 10 players in each group makes up to 9 matches, so one of the team players could be already qualified or already out and have a controversial loss against a teammate to make him pass the group stage. That could make reasonable the 5 max rule, not that I am in favor or that I doubt the professionalism of the team players...

The tournament sounds fantastic.But imo the biggest drawback is its exclusivity.. I get that the best players around are on teams, but I think one of the most exciting aspects of the GSl is that literally anyone had a shot to qualify after signing up for a prelim.

Maybe down the line the organizers might add a feeder tournament/league like the Code S/A setup which I think works well.

Hopefully I can make it up from San Diego for one of the finals but it doesn't seem like there's too much room in the studio they have.

I suggest Incontrol avoid TeamLiquid for 24-48 hours so the initial rush of suggestions, opinions, or corrections can subside a bit. I missed the announcement at the time due to class, but upon arrival it seemed like the excitement was/is matched by everyone critiquing every little thing off the bat. I know feedback is good and all, but a bit of a grace period after the announcement and everyone posting their 99 Thesis' on the forum would have been nice. Maybe its just me, but if I put a lot of work into something only to see it be dissected and "corrected" out of the gate with simple qualifiers of "...and this is awesome..." might convey an underappreciated feeling.

Could be just me though....

They already said they're not doing the grand finals in their cramped studio, they're doing it at another location probably with much more spectator room.

I think it was said the finals would be held in a bigger area.

The only bad part is this... we vote who we want to see... the voting part really isn't fair, I really though this was gonna be more like GSL where we have a qualifier and that player goes in and trys his best... whats gonna happen to the up and coming players, that don't stream or don't care about the popularity contest that this just made...you know what i mean... I really think maybe just 1 HUGE tourney do one in EURO one in KOREA and one is NA kinda like TSL is doing... then make that 1 season, more content more fighting for the 100,000... Or about the players that dont have a team, that are really good and don't care for the team aspect ... just little things like that.. then hold the finals in cali or where ever?

THIS IS JUST MY OPINION , it means nothing I KNOW THAT... so i dont want flames all over me... I am just throwing 2 cents in this thats it. I WISH NASL GL and i hope to god they do it good so maybe later it will be more like GSL in that aspect... as I said NOT HATING we can TAKE wat we GET as NA esports is concerned , so i am happy someone is doing it.

All foreigners with only a few Koreans sounds like it's going to be D-League/amateur-league/college level play. I really hope I'm wrong though.

To me, the 5 players per team/5 Koreans max rule makes perfect sense. Think about it this way: NASL is in a perfect position to introduce eSports as a reputable idea to a lot of people in NA who won't have heard of it before, or aren't hardcore at any rate (like everyone on TL is by definition). Having more teams and predominantly home-team players will only increase the probability of people accepting it as a thing, finding favourites to root for, watching the team vs team fights ('ohh man did you see Liquid'A knocked out Root_A in group 1? Root_B's gonna be pissed at Liquid'B in group 2!!).

People on TL forget a lot of the time that we're not the only people to be concerned with here. We're the hardcore demographic, and a lot of things we may not like are there because they appeal to the casual demographic. Point in case: I've heard lots of people say they prefer Day[9] to Husky. This is hardly surprising to me, considering Day[9]'s dailies are more aimed at people who want to get in depth with SC2, learn more about their game, how to improve. Husky's casts tend to be more popular with people who don't necessarily know much about SC2, and just want to watch for the entertainment value. Hardcore and casual. Both are legitimate revenue streams, and both need to be targeted for the income required to make eSports a big thing in the west.

Well that's what I think anyway
True power!

It's pathetic to see that a large number of players complaining about an awesome tournament in NA, with great casting and a huge prize pool, and presumably a ton of very good players.

I can't wait to watch this, sounds like there will be an amazing amount of content created by this.

The voting is a fun way to get involved and support your favorite players. It helps but by no means WHAT SO EVER decides who gets selected.

Please stop looking for ways to make this a bad thing.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wouldn't worry to much about the voting, its just one part of the process but i do agree more open spots would be fun. Maybe when it gets bigger more open spots will be added.

This is huge for north america. Anyone who wants esports to be big in the west needs to support this tournament and the MLG's. This is the time.

Good luck incontrol and gretorp, and good luck to all the NASL staff. This is awesome, you are awesome.

How can u say that? Koreans are not embracing SC2 as much as the rest of the world... and u should know that. Koreans DON'T mean that they are the best. Its just there practice schedule as we can see HUK is doing much better in Korea living in a Korean gaming house add the fact JINRO and IDRA who lived in Korea with the schedule of gaming all the time did well in GSL also... THAT IS WHAT WE ALL NEED, its just not that easy to get it...I think its bullshit that the foreigners don't get the credit they SHOULD get , because they are competing with Koreans, and NOT playing in a PRO GAMING HOUSE. ANYONE can get better over time with the schedule of a pro gamer... in ANYTHING.

I'm honestly not that excited about this. Paying 25$ just so that i can see supply counts/unit counts etc on a stream ruins the fun of the tournament. The voting seems silly, as do some of the rules. But this is a pretty big step for the NA scene so hopefully it's a success
