You now have a north american tournament filled with all korean players. Does that sound like a good way to get western esports on the right track? People want to watch players they can connect with; players that share their same culture and language. The league's purpose is to create the competitive environment needed for the west to catch up to the korean scene, not to determine who the best korean is. Think of it as just one giant TSL tournament. Thats called incentive, if the South Korean's are the best in the world then they are the best in the world and everyone else is just gonna have to get better. If not then its no better then male and female tournaments. The best should be aloud to compete no matter their race, sex or nationality. Sounds like you want easy mode. | ||

Yeah its not like the NBA puts a "cap" on the amount of African Americans that are allowed to play in their league. | ||

Just seems weird to have 50 invites and only one person gets in via the open slot idk seems better to open that up a bit more seeing as with the prize pool that open tour would be stacked and a lot of people will have to be turned away or it will just be way too big. | ||

I am going to be wholeheartedly behind NASL, it needs to succeed for western esports to get bigger. I'm just saying, it's an unknown. I'm 50-50 on it right now and will have to see the overall quality of the players, casting, and production before purchasing. The GSL is the gold standard, and every other paid stream will be held to that standard or I'll expect it to be cheaper. | ||

Also i was kinda turned down on the production value of yesterday's showmatch. But we will see how it goes. /edit: Also scheduling this at "night" (presumably for pst) this is impossible for europeans to watch. I didn't watch the idra vs. jinro games yesterday for the same reason ... i just slept in. They already said they'd be restreaming them hours later for Europeans to get the 'live' effect. | ||

I assume this ties into their desire to create a backstory and allow for more teams overall to have players in it for better chances at rivalry or whatever. Then again... Jinro and MC led to Photoshop shenanigans and people found that interesting. If the rule ends up being unnecessary, I don't see why they wouldn't change it. | ||

I think this is mostly a compromise between their desires to involve as many people as possible and their desire to keep the production values and entertainment values as high as possible. Especially in the first season, the fewer points of failure there are, the better. If things do work out, if the open qualifier does well or seems to work well with their production, I can see them opening it up to more in the future. I just think that for the first season they will mostly be focusing on just getting the smoothest running, highest quality production they can and eliminating as many variables as possible facilitates that. | ||

Those 'African Americans' are actually Americans, not Africans... So there's no reason for NBA to put a cap on their participation unless somehow you want to reclassify them as foreigners. Which I'd like to point out is rather racist. | ||
