Congratulations NASL on your first broadcast. What an incredible prize pool!
Work hard, have fun!
Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not. 파이팅! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ"

This is great, will definitely be getting the HQ stream. Hope iNcontroL, Gretorp, and the other casters get help from already established ones (Artosis/Tasteless/Day9 come to mind), to make them even better at what they do. Given the prize pool, there's no doubt that the very best players in the world will be competing in this.
Gogo eSports!


Agree with all of this. I don't think that the very best players will be coming because of the 5 Korean limit thing. Also I didn't see any koreans listed on the player voting list.

I wonder if they would change this is the Korean players would come over to NA to negate lag issues (LAG was cited as the reason for the 5 koream limit)

This is the biggest thing to ever happen to the western e-sports scene. Shame on those who try to make the iNcontroL look bad without even reading about the NASL.

It's hard to take that guy's post seriously when he sounds like a typical whiner. Look at the way he responds in his other posts.

This is going to be amazing to watch and I would def love to go in person and watch the grand finals if that goes over a weekend in an MLG style. Though my only concern right now is the time they will be broadcasting matches during the week. I am hoping they start at 6/7pm PST and the matches end around 10 it would be a lot better for us working folk. I know they are restreaming the matches in the morning for the European scene. Has anyone heard what time the stream will start?

It was stated in the interview that it would start at 5pm PST.

Well all his points are valid. When you hype up something so much, people expect a good product. The showmatch was horrendous to watch because of the video and casters being off sync. The video was very poorly made and there was absolutely no follow-up to the short trailer after the showmatch...

I think it's on point and the issues called out are valid. Actually, it could have been written by incontrol himself if this was someone else's event. I was truly hoping for this to be as great as it was hyped, but the result does make me worry.

If the NASL fails, it will not mean the end of western e-sports. There is such a high demand for something like this in the west and just because incontrol is trying to create the "gsl of the west," it doesn't mean it is our only option. If NASL doesn't meet the demands of its audience, a rival league will arise. There is simply too much of a demand for western e-sports to die. I have faith that incontrol will get his shit together and make for a professional presentation. He really needs to hire a team of people with some technical know-how.

Honestly, if you look at the immense resource that is teamliquid, we alone could create something like this. We have writers, technicians, programmers, movie-editors, casters, and we know how to find sponsors. The Starcraft community has the capabilities, but we don't have any leadership or direction to actually put this kind of thing together.

Secretly I am hoping that day9 will start a professional starcraft league and actually get a team of professionals from the community to produce a top-quality product.

Well, although I was underwhelmed, it can only be a good thing for e-sports. If nothing else, it will make MLG sit up and take notice. Rest assured, they are strategizing about how best to shit on the NASL. It's just like any other business. They just have to do it strategically, so that there is no community backlash.

guys, If you've been a starcraft player or general e-sports fan for more then a few months, you would know what incontrol has done for this community. He puts a lot into it, and you need to have faith. The league is still over a month away and they have plenty of time to iron out the minor kinks that were involved with the stream. Most of the stuff being mentioned here such as the stream being out of sync etc, are things that could have been fixed game to game if the production crew and such that will be there for the actual league, would have been there yesterday. Yesterdays showmatch also felt rather unofficial and I feel like when the actual league starts up, things will be much more professional. Please realize that having one of our own (incontrol) behind the scenes, taking our feedback, rather then some corporate suit, will make for a better final product. Keep the criticism and ideas positive, so we can get what we want in the end. I have no doubt they are listening to us. I've been waiting for e-sports to go mainstream since I was a young kid, so being 23 now, this makes me very happy. Lets do it the right way.

How can you compare the showmatch yesterday with a professional league?
I'm pretty optimistic for the NASL with such a price pool they will hire professionals to do layout work, studio and so on, this should not be compared with the amateur cast of yesterday.

So this is basically a three month online tournament leading up to a LAN finals in California somewhere?

The LAN event is something I'd be interested in checking out, but the online portion to their league is just going to be another online tournament in a sea of online tournaments as far as I'm concerned.

At this point, if it's not LAN, I'm just not going to be as interested, regardless of the prize and player pools.

the post do indeed have valid points about the impression that gosucoaching has made in the past and the showmatch last night, however the topic is wildly misleading as the worst thing that could possibly happen would be that the league or gosucoaching sinks.
I also feel sorry if this is partly sponsored by blizzard , but the initiative is good and if they can really improve their production quality and make it successful then that would be great.
But judging from their past they have a long way to go, and high prize pool's only covers some of their flaws, its not going to translate everything that they do into a masterpiece.

This is a really awesome idea, and if I had enough money to be able to travel to the main tourney / didnt work a shitty fulltime job that took so much time.. I'd so do this.. Too bad due to this stupid job, I cant play enough to be competitive and dropped off my team too. bleh being an adult sucks.

For anyone who is serious about taking their SC2 gaming to the next level, its a nobrainer. I hope to see a continuation after the 3 tournies are done, maybe by that time I'll have enough cash to take afew months to try my hand at it.
