It’s always a treat to watch Boxer play; he has the best mix of safe and creative play and makes some awesome decisions while playing. Uhhh... I love to watch the Emperor play as well, but... I wouldn't call most things BoxeR does "safe". If anything, he takes calculated risks as much as anyone. I find the cutoff lines for playoffs in the OP confusing. As I understand, there are 16 spots in the playoffs -- 10 for division winners, 5 for high-ranked wildcards, and 1 from the open qualifier... so how are all 22 of the players above Cutoff #1 "almost certainly" going to make it in? Those aside, good thread. Looking forward to NASL's playoffs. | ||

iNcontroL is one of the kings of strong standard play, as is Sjow. Both of these players showcase extremely safe and solid styles that should be great for incorporating into your macro play. Really? Who wrote this? -.- incontrol is definitely a good player but I wouldn't even put him close to the title of "king of strong standard play." | ||

Fenix clinches a spot in the finals with a 2-0 or 2-1 win vs Moon. Fenix cannot advance to the finals if he loses. Sheth clinches a spot in the finals with a 2-0 or 2-1 win vs MorroW. Fenix cannot advance to the finals if he loses. The second "Fenix cannot advance to the finals if he loses" Should be "Sheth cannot advance to the finals if he loses. Next edit. For the playoff cutoffs MC is not mentioned besides in the overall list of players and their rankings. Please fix these! THanks, Wattabeast | ||

I find this entire statement hilarious considering koreans showed how hard they steamroll without lag to slow them down at MLG, not a single one got knocked out by a non-korean. Oh and MMA finished first while July finished what, 10th? Where as online-leagues like the NASL and TSL are entertaining, they show very little of what the koreans are capable of in my opinion, simply because of the latency difference. It's hardly a coincidence that foreigners achieve very little at the GSL while koreans win pretty much every single foreign LAN they attend. | ||

However, I ran into an issue when Xeris posted http://www.nasl.tv/News/Article/20110607nasl-playoffs-week-8-snapshot today. In it he says a three way tie between Sjow, DarkForce and White-Ra would go to White-Ra regardless of points because he has a head-to-head win against both. It then goes on to say ties are determined by head-to-head first then points. This seems to be reverse of what you have, I also assumed points first initially. Maybe I'm just reading what he said wrong but thought I'd point it out either way. What? I was sure it would be points. Doesn't points make more sense? Weird. | ||

Relying on a pylon not being found isnt something you can rely on consistently. I probably should have included this in the description, but when iNcontroL does something funky, it is usually very easy to spot why that it is. iNcontroL very rarely goes in for a blind cheese (unless he thinks that his opponent will be weak to it). When he does cheese or do something funky, 99% of the time it is warpgate aggression, and there is usually a reason behind it (such as seeing a zerg take a really late gas or not having a probe scouted inside his enemies base). iNcontroL's style is also one of the best to learn from because it is very easy to emulate, there's a lot of poking but it's not like most of his styles require ungodly micro to pull off.

I haven't watched all his TvZ matches in the NASL. Oh QXC. Those are probably the only two consistently safe builds that he has, but believe me, he has a lot more that he can and will pull out. Such as 3 reaper hellion harass and ghost pushes. Those two are probably his safest builds, but he has a lot more in his arsenal. On June 08 2011 09:13 nvs. wrote: Really?

I wrote that! iNcontroL is definitely one of the kings of standard play. The guy popularized three gate expo vs. zerg and plays a standard pressure expand build almost every game. Just because he doesn't get 1st place doesn't mean he's suddenly bad. Other kings of safe play: Tyler, Ret, Haypro, Nada, Sjow, Artosis, Jinro, and the list goes on. I didn't mean the ultimate pro gamer ever at safe play, I just meant someone who is very good at it. | ||

Really confused right now myself. nasl.tv has the current rankings calculated as points-first, for what it's worth.... and doesn't seem to have any official rules anywhere.... | ||
