EPTOminous times are coming ... not everyone is going to be accepted and I feel like there's going to be a lot of drama :/
Hopefully I'm wrong.

If a top team like Ogs did not get contacted, what about other teams like prime, slayers, and im? Wondering if Wemade and Startale were contacted by NASL admins or they just found out by them selves. Are they trying to limit the amount of better players in the league on purpose? | ||

SlayerS and oGs weren't contacted, so who was? Second point would be the right one if i'd have to choose. Though, i wouldn't be surprised if something went wrong with the contacting. | ||

Im not sure how I feel about the decision given how many koreans signed up anyway, but my reasoning was that Im not nearly as good at falling asleep at random times as most every korean Ive ever met seems to be (i.e they can play until 7, sleep 5 hours, wake up, play, sleep 2 hours after dinner and just be fine... Id end up with a wasted day). Anyway, I dunno, its too late to change anything now and I have lots of tournaments going anyway. Here's a Jinro quote about why he's not entering NASL. Sound reasoning imo. I find people who can function above 50% with disrupted sleep schedules to be freaks of nature. If i don't get my 8 hours or whatever every night, i'm a walking corpse. | ||

Obviously something went wrong somewhere when they were contacting the Kor teams. Wouldn't surprise me if they only contacted Startale and WeMade Fox, as those are the teams that have sent their players to compete outside of Korea in the IEM. Would be very dissapointing if that's the case, as players like MC clearly deserve a spot - if not for his skill alone, then for entertaining the foreigner community with his awesome interviews. | ||

Its entirely possible its not their fault - it could be something as simple as them being given an incorrect email. | ||

If they can have personality AND good games, even better. Higher level of games doesn't neccesarily mean more entertaining (better?) games. I've seen many people express opinions that NA and EU tournaments are more fun, generally, to watch than the average gsl game. I'm not saying I agree or dissagree with those people but it's not as easy just to put the best players out there and say it's better. Take soccer for instance, often when you put two of the worlds best teams out against each other, they often cancel each other out and you'll get to see an incredible boring game. I think many people would rather have Catz in the tournament than a Korean playing straight up each and every game without any flare even if he's better. But I do agree with you that if you can have both, the choice isn't very hard but it's also quite subjective what is better and entertaining so NASL have their work cut out for themselves. | ||
