Cool write up and good way to catch up on the league standings. I haven't been watching most of NASL because their schedule conflicts with mine but I have been following the results and this helps even more with that. TYVM

ps. CatZ is awesome for that I agree

I wrote that! iNcontroL is definitely one of the kings of standard play.


Ok, I guess MLG Columbus just skewed my understanding of his style given the cannon rushing, 4 gating, and 3 gate void ray all-ins that he seemed to be doing whenever I saw him on stream.

My bad. ^^

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.


You have simply misunderstood the play-off system.

The top 2 from each group go straight to the finals. the next 20 players overall go to the play-offs where they will be split in to 5 groups of 4, whomever wins their bracket also advances to the finals totalling 15 players in the finals, the last spot is taken by the winner of the open tournament.
When there is nothing left to lose but your dignity, it is already gone.

Boxer please OWN IDRA! Or put up really close and/or long and/or epic games where you win xD

Boxer vs Idra will be a fitting finale to the NASL :D

Points does make sense, as I figured that's the way it should be as well. Feel free to tell me Xeris has it wrong in the article or that I misread 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....

Noticed that as well, but that could be a scripting thing, easy to order a list by value but you have to hand place a list with head-to-head. Did you read the article at NASL, wondering if someone else interpreted it different or the same as me.

As long as NASL doesn't have any official explanation about tiebreaking procedures, I'm just not going to stress about it.

I found this funny
But obviously there’s a reason for this, right? The Koreans are dealing with lag (like they'd sweep the podium at a NA LAN event), or these aren’t the best Koreans (as if someone like, say, MMA, would beat July), or something else; I'm sure someone will tell us.

When they have swept every single foreign tournametn they have played in with the sole exception of Dreamhack winter.
IEM? 3 Koreans
Dreamhack Invitational? Only Korean in attendance won.
Copenhagen? Korean win.
Whatever that Australian tournament Ace won was called.
MLG? Top 3 Koreans.

So, uhm yes, maybe go a little less heavy on the sarcasm?

The top player by points is SeleCT, an American,[...]


How is Select "American"? He is part of the NA scene sure, but he is still a korean citizien, isn't he?

And yeah I agree with Jinro. Mentioning the missing non-korean players and making fun of people mentioning the missing korean players at the same time is just dumb.

Lol yeah...not to mention that certain foreign players - including one that I'm sure the writer is a huge fan of, judging from the superlatives - and casters themselves acknowledged that latency is an issue sometimes. I don't understand the need for a snide and sarcastic remark either.

Question: what ever happened with that deposit players had to give to play to make sure they didn't bail? Did they end up taking that out? For the people who are noshows now, wouldn't they lose their deposit? That would be financial incentive to keep playing, no?

The western scene would have turned into a joke if the Korean coaches also dominate in tournaments.

Excellent write-up. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the tournament

In regards to players quitting the tournament near the end because they haven't done well I think that's very lame and would lessen them in my eyes. From a fans perspective we watch Starcraft for the great games, and even if they don't do well they can still show us great and entertaining play. Also, if they persist in their games and even though they lost every other match if they win the last one it's a redemption for them and a reward for the loyal fans. I really like Grubby and qxc, and even though they haven't been doing well I'd love to see them win their last series.

So player's please don't quit, show great games for the fans, it means a lot to us.

Hey, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe he was in code S as long as Jinro and dropped down to Code A at the same time as him.

I was already pumped for NASL finals: sorry MLG it's way more epic because of the prize money and long build up. Now I'm even more pumped.

I can't tell if Jinro knows he and the authors agree completely . I'm going to assume yes.
