The stream was laggy as hell, the production wasn't great and the games were flat out awful. All that from a TV channel with dare i say 1000 times more experience and money behind them. You mean the stream that was fixed within one week, production from open season 1 that will be better then NASL will probably ever be and the fact that SC2 was 1 month old when open season 1 started which would most likely attribute for those bad games? >_> | ||

Think about it from the perspective of a person watching Starcraft for the first time. If everything looks exactly like it would on ESPN, the person’s going to think, “Huh, there’s a video game that’s presented just like traditional sports! Isn’t that something?” But if it’s something different, with casters’ personalities coming through during the show, eschewing the “ESPN voice” in favor of whatever they can add to the broadcast through jokes or commentary, the viewer might think, “Oh look, those people are having fun!” I'd like to know how you came up with this. It might be convenient for your article's consistency but it does not make sense to me, in fact I think this is quite an assumptive statement. Other than that, very interesting read. In my opinion NASL could have been a total failure. Fortunately they had good casters (tastosis9) as well as good players who showed good games. also I may have spotted a couple typos here and there but nothing serious (a couple of missing letters and such) | ||

Does anyone else see what Gretorp looks like in that picture? Similar too a dressed monkey paired with the Italian man playing music in the park? | ||

Great writeup, but I'm pretty sure that if the finals had been a one-sided walkover, NASL wouldn't be judged half as kindly. And that's fine, the best moment in any competition should be the actual games, not the bullshit around it. | ||

i find it funny however that confusedcrib mentions the justintv chat as a negative, pretty much every single chat channel of any stream ever has a huge number of idiots on it, it's not just because nasl had issues. for example huk's chat is unwatchable | ||

There is an obvious problem with Gretorp casting, being that he says the wrong word frequently, and is terribly awkward and corny. The quality of casting during the finals was greatly improved by adding day9 and tasteosis. The high prize pool has attracted basically all non-korean SCII players that I am interested in watching. This gives the NASL with tremendous potential, which was not remotely realized in season 1. All in all, trying to follow season 1 of the NASL was highly frustrating and deeply disappointing. The the lag, audio, and casting issues are resolved, I would be very excited to watch season 2. Based on the failure that was the NASL finals, I am pessimistic. | ||

The one thing about NASL that was the biggest fault for me was the 10 matches in 12 hours. That's simply ridiculous and I think pretty much everyone who was tuning into the stream was irritated by that. But here's hoping for a successful Season 2! | ||

Also When it was first announced that Sunday's events would be kicking off with a live performance, I think we all braced for the worst. GSL's live performances are something we all begrudgingly sit through to get to the games. So not true! I love the GSL live performances! Not only cause I can tolerate the music, but also because it makes the whole event seem like that much of a bigger deal. | ||
