That shot at China is totally misleading.

Lots of Korean Pros have openly stated that China has some very talented players such as XiGua. The Real problem is VISA issue. Hint, Strelok could not get his Visa in time for a playoff/grand final, wait.. NASL playoff, isn't it? China-US Visa is notoriously difficult to obtain. How do you convince people at the embassy that the your purpose of your trip is to play computer game....

Though Sen is the better player in his division overall, he is 0-2 vs Strelok for some reasons. Maybe the game was not balanced enough back then, God knows why.

Excellent background- though kind of creepy, in a turn-on type of way... uh.
Great read (when I wasn't distracted).

I cried my eyes out when Strelok's Visa application was denied. This is your season. Destroy everyone and claim the title that was destined to be yours.

NASL has a different feel to it, compared to IPL, GLS, TSL, etc... and that's why i love it!

Hope to see Lindsey SporeCrawler back and some good games.. I was kind of disappointed in the finals but they have definitely improved since the first week, which was a complete joke. They even had the Xsplit watermark on their video capture, to go along with their 1000 problems. Aside this, I was impressed at how fast they improved and now that they had a lot more time to improve, I think people expect a lot.
