i think this is AWESOME only thing i would change would be more spots for qualifier players i think it would make more people try to get good if they see more chances in getting in.. cause lets be honest 1 in 1000 doesnt seem lot of chances and a great guy can allways have a bad day xD

or maybe make a little qualifier for the invites for the League Stage Like you would pick 45 players and other 5 would get in league by qualifiers

Perhaps this can turn into a bit of a Q&A thread.

- How does the NASL foresee bringing in players from different continents? Will the league make accommodations, or will that be the sole responsibility of the their teams?
- How does the NASL anticipate having to compete against the GSL? Are you expecting both to co-exist, or are you intending to compete against them?

Yeah. It did strike me as strange. Few teams can field that many guys. Let alone of "Code S" quality.

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.

9 weeks of divisional play!!?!? ... whoa. This isn't some single-elim slugfest, this is the real deal! I love it!

Also I love hearing that MLG has been cooperating strongly - this isn't competition over the esports scene, the scene needs to cooperate to grow :D


I wouldn't be so sure MLG's cooperation is charity on their part. This tournament is offering much more prize money than they are, and if they didn't cooperate it could very well be MLG that ended up not getting any good players. I actually think the western scene has too many "big" tournaments and no one with the sort of huge prestige that winning GSL gives you (and therefore no tournament with that level of attention). I wouldn't mind a little more competition.

I really like how involved justin.tv is in this. How many viewers did we have for the showmatch? 20k? I also really like how fast Justin.tv gets vods up, and their quality. I know some people who hate the GSL stream because of it's low quality, but that doesn't sound like it is going to be a problem for anybody.

Agreed completely. This is the one thing I'm not liking about the whole annoucement.

If a team has good players, it has good players. It's unfair for a better player to be left out simply because they're in the same team as 5 other good players. Not only is it unfair, but it also decreases the overall quality of players in the tournament

You must not follow eSports at all lol There has been no MLG lately, and to not want something of GSL caliber and to call the GSTL a snoozefest is ludicrous

Thanks for the summary, I just finished reading the whole interview but this kinda sums it all up. I don't know if capping of the amount of koreans is a good idea, but then again it'll give more foreign players a chance to actually go for it! Also I think the TSL will show off some difference in skill level between Koreans and non-koreans, what ever way it may go, this might give insight on the decision for season 2 and s3.
I also feel that the voting isn't the best idea, I'm a 'fan' of trump, or atleast his stream so I voted for him but if i'd be objectively he might not be a 'top 50 player'. Then again it gets all the players people want to see so, that's a good think I suppose :D. Go go NASL!

thats a rule thats definitely gonna have to change. I understand why they wanted it, no team killing in any division but its going to cause teams to split just so players can compete.

Couldn't agree more. Haypro, who deserves to be in this more than anyone will most likely end up with the short end of the stick here, as he isn't as popular as the other liquid guys. But he is a far superior player to many people on the list.
I will cheer for a Slayers Terran over any other player.

I really think they'd stand to make as much money and satisfy a lot more viewers with a lower premium price, I'm not sure I'm down with $25 a season compared to $10 for a GSL season

I have a question.

What about other tournaments? This tournament is going to have games daily, 5 days a week. Kind of closes the doors for other tournaments who want the same competitors at their events. These also seem like relatively long seasons, which is both a positive and a negative. a Positive for the fans but seems like players will have to dedicate months at a time to this competition, closing the doors for chances of another tournament/series.

any comments any1?
