Also, didn't know Blizzard was also involved! would like to know how much and with what however... anyone know? Also, a question: 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. Here he says two completely opposing ideas. Which one is it? First he says "it helps" but then he says "by no means WHAT SO EVER decides who gets selected" If it doesn't help, then by no means it will not decide who gets selected. But he says it does help. Meaning, it has to decide by some kind of mean, however small the influence is. So is the 2nd part just exaggeration, and he means that it does help, but that the selected players aren't decided on 100% based on the votes they get? | ||

I have no idea, why even have voting in the first place if they're just gonna say something like that... If the polls don't mean jack whats the point in the first place? | ||

Geoff doesn't get to eliminate his teammates in this one? Where's the fun in that? | ||

Good luck incontrol and gretorp, and good luck to all the NASL staff. This is awesome, you are awesome. The problem is MOST of us are not COMPLAINING, the fact is we are trying to think of ways that can BETTER this tourney to make it BIGGER better and live longer... Some of these things are OUT RIGHT DUMB to be honest... and if they can take the feedback of wat the people want, make it in to a better season next time. Then we as the gamers did our JOB. I am not going to sit and say OMG THEY DID THIS WRONG OMG OMGOMG I WONT SUPPORT IT... i would never do that because the fact is , this is HUGE for gaming in the west and in America. HUGE! since the CGS... so I am happy as all hell they are here. But the feedback of the people will make it a even better tourney next time. Whoevers quote i just did i might have misc-licked lol , someone said something about complaining... so oh well :D | ||

Because they have the final decision on who they invite... the votes are just to give them suggestions/ show what the community wants | ||

With the amount of money on the line, I'd be really surprised if people didn't work their tails off to win that position, whether it be for the coin, fame, or other motivations, the opportunity is too great for a half-ass approach. If it proves stable, people will travel here and compete for the prize, and there are many more SC2 related opportunities to compound on here (with smaller weekly tournaments etc.), making the NA scene more and more attractive to a high caliber player. My feeling is we just need to have faith that the people in charge will do what needs to be done, and that the spectacle we're hoping for will come in the near future. But these things take time, the game itself is still developing, new maps are beginning to find their way into the rotation, and there are two more expansions that have yet to come out. There is nothing but potential for this, but a negative outlook on it before one has a chance to see the hard work they've put into it is bad for our community and for the future growth. PS: I didnt mean to pick on your post oxxo, I just started typing and this all came out O_o | ||

If the polls don't mean jack whats the point in the first place? Because otherwise we get the thread "NASL: just a popularity contest?" or whatever the fuck it was. People are just looking for excuses to complain. Maybe it will help break a tie, maybe it will help bring someone to the forefront of their discussion, but it's not going to be the only thing that determines who gets invited to compete. Stop nitpicking. | ||

Are we to believe that the games played in NASL are going to be better? Is the production value going to be superior? Are there going to be more high-level games? Are the casters better? I am doubtful. I will hope that season one proves me wrong and if so, will gladly fork over my 20-25$ to support ESPORTS. If not...theres always GSL.... | ||

He mentions Day9 in the interview and the fact that they talked to him but he's incredibly busy. And please stop with the gross over-exaggerations. Does every tournament suck that's not cast by Day9? | ||

I think this is just great, thank you guys who put this together so much.  Only small bad thing that can be said is that not all the TL players are gonna be able to play because of the 5 per team rule  ps: The prospect of possibly hearing André, Geoff and diggity cast every day with day9 jumping in every now and then just makes me giddy | ||
