The NASL production sux, it is si bad that if is not because of Geoff I would of demand my money back!

It was basically unwatchable, too slow, just a rippoff alround. I could of just watch free stream and that still lags at times ffs, if you can't afford the bandwidth for 1040p, don't market yourself like so.

I'm so pissed off evenever I hear NASL :O


I've watched every single broadcast of NASL since week 1, since week 2 I have experienced close to 0 lag....... the problem lies not with NASL's upload but JTV's routing..... if you are going to complain at least have an informed opinion.

Sjow is very solid in his macro and decision making as well, a great player to learn proper army control and movement from. Both of these players should teach some great timings to poke and prod at your opponent


Doesnt inc do a lot of funky stuff? His way is mindgames, not necessarily standard games :o (e.g. his silly stuff vs losira).. And sjow is kind of different too lately (e.g. his tank/hellion pushes vs zerg^^)

Great to see a well written positive report! Think we are a tad harsh sometimes on sc2 ^_^ gj. And oohh, I especially like JimLloyd's part!


I find myself confused as to what Incontrols style of play actually is - on his stream he's 99% of the time playing straight up long macro games, however in alot of tournament games he goes for some sort of rush or funky strategy.


Yea i really wish wed see him play straight up games we know he is so good at and showcases on his stream, but it seems (maybe less so in NASL) but at LANS he gets flustered or something he always seems to go for some cheesy funky strategy, not that there is anything wrong with that, but i know he can play a really good straight up style and thats the style i like to see from him. Relying on a pylon not being found isnt something you can rely on consistently.

haha, ur name and this post is brilliant!!!!!

Playing ladder is different from a tourney or league, everyone knows iNc can play a really good straight up game and they play in to that, so he uses mind games to attempt to get the upper hand.... Maybe not the most safe way to play, but fortune favours the bold!

Thanks, NASL, for giving me a huge boost to my...Liquibet :D

Anyway, I'm super pumped about some of these games. I'm unable to get a pass, unfortunately, but I'm confident that the games will be awesome nonetheless. I'm surprised to see some of the overall standings ^_^

Honestly though NASL hasnt really been able to hold my interest, i payed for an HD pass and i still watch a few vods of my favourite players here and there, but its not something i desire to watch everyday, the non live format even if its unavoidable just simply isnt as entertaining , and with GSL happening 5-6 days a week i would much prefer to spend 3 hours watching that weather i stay up or watch the vods the next day.

No doubt a lot of effort went into this colossal write-up, but maybe next time try to avoid using 'solid,' 'safe' and 'standard' so much in describing the various match-ups.

I can respect that position, also look at it this way, GSL's paid stream is the same quality as NASL's free stream so if you think your money is better spent on GSL.... you can still watch NASL in fairly good quality for free. With all the content out there atm, we all have to make choices about what to watch.

Personally the non-live element doesn't make much difference to me, the games are just as good whether they are live or not to me, I still get that same feeling of excitement watching a VOD as watching a live show, however watching NASL "live" allows you to have a shared experience as opposed to watching a VOD by your lonesome!

Soo... as a player that doesn't really follow SC2 that much, where can I find the VODs?


nasl.tv - but you have to pay.

Very nice article. I liked the 9 points. And CatZ is hilarious.

Qxc has so many [TvZ] openings designed for aggression


Qxc said on Mr. Bitter's "12 Weeks with the Pros" that he has 2 builds vs Zerg: 2 Rax and Reactor Hellion-Cloaked Banshee. Has that changed? I haven't watched all his TvZ matches in the NASL.

I feel bad for Naniwa, he got walk-overed against Strelok *after* NASL agreed to post-pone the match due to a misunderstanding (overreaction from NASL the way I see it).

Imagine if Naniwa had beat Strelok, then they would both be 6-2 headed into the final week.

If I understand correctly you're saying MoMaN has still a chance? That would be great but seeing his stats it seems weird to me. Can someone explain this to me? xD

Awesome write-up here. I think this will help get some of the haters interested again. I have watched tons of the games and think they are doing a great job for the first season. I believe we will only see improvement. =)
