Really nice writeup! You can whine all you want about NASL but they are still the reason there even was a Puma vs. MC Bo7 which everyone can agree was amazing.

Shindigs looks like Kawaiirice's younger brother or something. And I'm a big fan of Kawaiirice.

Such a delightful writeup! Also I was able to share the barcraft part with my co-worker since he likes bars, and I like Starcraft.

It's inevitable that season 1 had hiccups. So what? You can whine about it all day, but it's indisputable that they had some of the best players in the world, playing some awesome matches, as long as we have that, everything else will fall in line. Season 2's production values will be much better, these are smart people, they will learn from their mistakes. I can't wait. Great job NASL, my $25 well spent and looking forward to more.

They didn't even have the best players in the world though. They invited so many average foreigners and even some of the koreans that were invited (ace, squirtle, Boxer) just aren't that good. The only code s players were zenio, Nada, July and MC iirc. If they actually had mkp, mvp, nestea, sc, losira, etc then you could say they had the best players. They had a subpar player lineup and a terrible production plan for a tournament this hyped with this much prize money.


Yeah, I know they were missing some of the best Koreans, I didn't say they had ALL the best players. Yes, we all know they could have planned and executed it better, my point was that this was pretty damn good for a first time out putting on an event of this scale, and the quality of the play was there. I'm thinking we'll see a jump in quality similar to MLG dallas to colombus. Everyone bitched about Dallas, but then Columbus was fantastic.

Awesome write up, hopefully theyll start a "barcraft" type thing in pittsburgh some time, that'd be awesome. Also great interviews, probably the first 30 minute interview i've actually watched the whole way through.

I don't think you fully grasp the Word of our prophet Day9, but yes, I have heard inklings of a Barcraft Pittsburgh, so keep an eye out for it at r/BarCraft.
Thank God and gunrun.

I can't believe I missed the Seattle Barcraft. I definately will make the next one.

Gretorp has become one of my favorite casters throughout the NASL. His improvement has been so fast and efficient it blows my mind. He can do the analytical aspect of casting, but also will throw in a fanboy moment/player moment we have all experienced that just makes me lololol. see Goody v Ace, response to fleet beacon.

Incredible write-up, I usually skip over the write ups because of how long they are, but it was incredibly well put together and I will be reading more write ups for sure. Keep up the good work TL staff/writers and to the NASL: Keep improving and you will see incredible success.

The one thing about NASL that was the biggest fault for me was the 10 matches in 12 hours.


This was my only problem with the finals, and it was only a problem because I had to work. I would tune in for 3-4 hours, see two Bo3's, and then go to work :/

Edit: and awesome interview with Gretorp!!!

Content like this makes me really proud to be a member of this community. Wonderful, wonderful work. You did a brilliant job of balancing discussion of the obvious problems the NASL had in its premier season with its equally remarkable achievements.

I especially liked the discussions with Gretorp. He's come a really long way as a caster, and I'm starting to feel like he's got what it takes to become one of the great SC2 commentators.

Thanks for the great post. This stuff is what makes TL great.

The people in the chat had me raging so hard. They were so ungrateful for the fantastic finals and what is a finals without issues and NASL did a damn good job for having their first LIVE FINALS event. I can't wait for season 2. NASL FIGHTING! R.I.P. Torpcontrol <3

Best article i`ve read in a while. At first i was like wuuuuut but then i was like niceee. Even though it was so enormous, it didnt bugged me at all. When you read it doesnt make you se wall of text, great work.

Other than that BarCraft is a great idea and its a good way to make the game even more popular as an esport. And i completely agree with the statement of jimlloyd. GL HF !
