Some criticisms of the cast: -The sound quality. Overall it wasn't very good, there was some background noise and the voices were muffled. I suspect you're not using individual mics for the casters, and the sound quality is suffering. Give us some game music or something in the background, too. -Random cuts to the casters in the middle of a game. I'm not even sure why this happened... this was a universally horrible decision. We don't want to look at the casters when there is a bunch of intense action going on. -Transitions. Perhaps I'm just being a little nitpicky, but the no-sound transitions are pretty bland and sorta zone me out. Can you add like, some sort of music or sound effects or something to them? Overall, I think it was pretty good, like I said. I just want it to be all it can be. | ||

Imagine if one of the team players is already qualified or has completely no chance, it could be controversial if the other one wins and gets to the next round. From that point of view it is reasonable. Of course it casts a shadow of doubt against the professionalism of the players, but it could be acceptable to just avoid that situations. "Imagine if one of the team players is already qualified or has completely no chance.." - even if the team limit rule is enforced, that person could still give free wins to other players in his group (to trade for his teammate in another group, or for money or whatever). I mean - in group format, there will always be that position, where the player who is already qualified/disqualified could abuse his last game. One way to reduce that problem is to give enough incentive so that it would hurt in some way to throw a game even if you're already disqualified/qualified. Also remember that blatant game throwing will hurt the team's brand image and no sponsor would like to see that. Having more than one player per team in the same group happens very often in Korean Starleagues (in almost every Starleague, actually). This has never been a big issue as far as I remember. | ||

Professional athletes can be fined for behaving in a way that the league or their team deems inappropriate, it's necessary to ensure players won't hurt the league's reputation if things don't go their way. Read deeper into it. The wording has been put so that even if for instance, a power outage which is not the fault of the competitor happens, they can be fined. Plain and simple. This i believe is unfair, as a gamer cannot control the weather, power, or telco companies. | ||

Incontrol stated that perhaps there will be a cap on Koreans at five max, but this isn't set in stone. There is a cap on the number of players from each team, set at five. EG and Liquid, in other words, can have no more than five players in the event. I don't know how you can "cap" the amount of koreans that can participate in your tournament. I would imagine your organization would be sued for some kind of racial discrimination. | ||

Yeah right, that is completely speculation and quite frankly 99% not going to be the case because you can prove a power outage or bad weather and most things not intentional. You guys are trying to act like the tournament is going to be run like Nazi Germany just because they will make the players accountable. | ||

What I question is the arbitrary cut-off at 5. To me that number only makes sense in the context that the casts are 5 days per week, maybe they want to do an entire division each day? I'm not sure if that could be fit in a 3 hours segment though. 6 per team would make much more sense for SC2 IMO. That way each team could field 2 players per race (with randoms allowed to fill any spot) so they can cover all match ups. So you could contrast, say, Liquid's TvT with EG's TvT. I'd argue that encouraging team competition is in the tournament's and esport's best interest, if not necessarily the player's. 6 divisions of 4 could work just as well as 5 divisions of 5. With top 2 advancing per division into a ro12. They could use the GSL's code S ranking methodology to further an eSports standard. It would vastly cut down the number of games needed to be played as well. | ||

I'm sure the official rules will be very clear on what does or doesn't deserve a fine. You're going off an interview and mentioning the wording as if it was some kind of official statement. It's not unexpected that the interview doesn't go deep into the details. | ||

Yet, if you get subpoenaed to show up to court- and fail to show, regardless of weather, you face jail time (tournament elimination) and a fine (refundable deposit)... Unfair, I believe. Also, I can send text messages to email accounts from my terribad T-mobile cell-phone- and unless it's a pure brown-out style power outage, I'd think that email would suffice. I could be completely wrong, though; idk how flexible they would be for rescheduling an online tournament m/u (a la most recent SCReddit Invitational)... edit in: On February 22 2011 14:56 Thrax wrote: It sounds a bit disingenuous to assume that the rule would be unfair.

It's not unexpected that the interview doesn't go deep into the details. it also says clearly on the g4tv website for the interview that the statements are those of iNcontroL and do not necessarily reflect the official opinion of NASL. edit in 2: ((copypasta from g4 interview)) The finale of the Greg “EG.IdrA” Fields vs. Jonathan “Liquid`Jinro” Walsh StarCraft 2 show match is over, and the Gorilla Terran Jinro has won $1500. But the real winner is you. After the jump, you'll find our exclusive interview with the new face of the North American Star League, Geoff “EG.iNcontroL” Robinson. Be aware that the views in this interview are those of Geoff, and not official word from NASL.

Why are you going out of your way to assume that NASL is out to get it's players or something? Calm down. We barely know anything yet. | ||

This is just getting absurd. | ||
