Tastosis and Day9? Awesome. I can only hope vods are available for free viewers, or else I'll miss all but the first day.

TT1 barely got his tech out in time (medivacs) for when TT1's big gateway push hit is front. Nada forced TT1's army to retreat and was able to chase it down and force TT1 to gg.

Loved the writeup but I was expecting a note about the lack of NA players making it. Sure it might be Korea against the world but EU against NA is just as good of a storyline.

Excellent write-up with some nice 'artistry.' My biggest question is what the following quote means -

If it’s disingenuous to call the NASL “North American,” maybe we could change its name to something more appropriate for what it really is . . . how about the Global Starcraft II League?


Is the author saying the NASL is just a GSL lite? Or that it should merge with the GSL? How does it having the same name as the prestigious Korean tournament make any sense, let alone qualify as a more apt league name. Was just curious.

His point was that the NASL is just as global, actually probably more-so, then the GSL.

Great Writeup, I especially enjoyed the Korean Overlords section, I think it showed some very positive thoughts/comments on the NASL and the involvement of Koreans. I hope that this season a foreigner can take it, but it could get harder with each consecutive NASL Season. But the game quality I'm sure will get better as a result! I hope NASL continues in popularity for the future, it doesn't suit my schedule atm to watch it but I think it's a fantastic tournament, hopefully more and more Koreans will wake up at crazy hours to watch it just like the NA people do for GSL

Zenio's play vs idra wasn't cheesy. He simply took advantage of idra's greed with well timed pushes

Any word on how the casting is being split and whether we'll see some mixing up of the casters? Personally I'd like to see the 2 duos casting together and then rotating each of the 4 as a casting partner for Day[9].

Here are my predictions for the tournament as well.
Round of 16
Ret vs Puma - I don't think Ret can beat PuMa, but if he does he could potentially ZvZ his way to the finals.
Sheth vs Squirtle
Morrow vs July - If Morrow went Zerg I think he could win.
Hasuobs vs Moon
Sen vs Zenio
Darkforce vs Strelok - Why American customs?
Select vs WhiteRa
MC vs Boxer

Round of 8
Puma vs Sheth
July vs Moon
Sen vs Darkforce
WhiteRa vs MC

Semi finals
Puma vs Moon
Sen vs MC

Third place playoff
Moon vs Sen

Grand final
Puma vs MC


Agree with a lot of that except Moon over July. July will have to play pretty terrible to lose to Moon, or just get incredibly unlucky. In my opinion, he's far and away a better player.....at least as of right now.

Will this be Re-streamed in korea with korean comentators or will the korean fans tune in to the english stream? considering that the majority of the players are from south korea and you guys want to call it the real global starcraft 2 tournament? i'd be exited to read about what korean wievers think about this league =P

Other then that one question i am nothing but pumped about this tournament and will be watching every minute of the stream!!!

GL with hosting one of the best american tournament ever!

July already lost to Moon at MLG. July's ZvZ is just subpar compared to his other matchups. I'd say if Moon and July make it out of Round of 16 Moon would be favoured in that one...

I'm super excited to be going to this. I think the winner of Ret vs Puma will go to the finals against MC most likely, though I expect him to play Alive in the semi's which i think will end up being a close match. See you all there.

Wow a French win against one top level player! This is enough to shine to my eyes. I hope tod will do well in his 8th(!!!!!) WCG.

Really nice article I enjoyed reading it even if I don't understand the 5 brackets system to make itto grand finals, as I have not followed NASL. The format is not exciting enough.

Why can't I find any info on the calendar when are the finals going to be? Are they going to be in a watchable time for EU?
