EPT[NASL] Players (final) - Page 102
| Forum Index > StarCraft 2 Tournaments |
Players such as Jinro, HuK, and Adelscott did not apply for this tour, so don't ask why they aren't on this list. DIMAGA, Kas, and LaLush turned applications in late so they will not appear either. Please take some time to learn who exactly applied. Please inform yourself about who applied and who didn't. | ||

There's still hope in that this might all be just an april fools joke. Agreed. Denying the koreans for the sake of a few individuals interest is a travesty. It's still gonna be a sick competition but it's clearly obvious that the image of the NASL has been tarnished in the process - the best of the best needs to be selected and now some of them are going to miss out (oGs/ST players primarily, when each one of them has potential to win it). The GSL don't restrict foreign entry so why should the NASL? Well that's simple, the Koreans are of higher skill. | ||

(I said second best NA toss) Problem is that all the nonsense coming from some is taking away weight from legit criticism. But you are right, the critcism is indeed overblown. An overrepresentation of NA players and some favoritism was to be expected anyway. Some questionable invites (maybe like 5-10) dont make this "unwatchable". The hyperbole frome some in that regard is just ridiculous. This is still the best tournament in the Western scene. And hell, I think the only thing recent tournament results have shown, that at this level of competition, no one is safe from being on the wrong side of an upset. Agreed with your other points as well. The funniest part is that the names of the questionable invites probably differ from person to person as well. :lol | ||

Out of this 40 man list (10 still to go), 19 players i deem (my own opinion) not people i want to watch play SC2. Either they are invited because they are big personalities in the community, the problem with this is that you might aswell invite Husky, Day9, Brother Mack, those 2 guys who sang the Tasteless song etc. Some are invites only because of their clan tag moreso than their popularity or results, at least that is how it seems. There is no point in me bitching about it, i kinda do feel bad for people doing NASL as it seems they have to deal with alot more questions and controversy than GSL, ESL, IEM, MLG, Dreamhack or TSL has. Alot of this has been unfair, some has been just and this player list is very underwhelming when half of the players there seem outright randomly thrown in. Only 10 more spots, so that means alot of great players from EU and KR wont get in, that is dissapointing. I wish you guys had done a qualifier for this, not only would you avoided this whole selection process, but also tested out your streaming, production values, improved casting and basically run everything through a wringer while also gaining some experience for when NASL does begin+ made some money and build up alot of hype. It is unfair that people are talking already of this being "EG n' Friends" and not a StarLeague of any kind. | ||

And yes I believe some of these players maybe more deserving than others but they have to start somewhere and I am sure that after they drop the 16 worst players out after S1 that S2 will be that much more competitive. On another topic I heard that IGN was putting on their own Starleague? Is this true or are they just joining as a sponsor with NASL and MLG? | ||

(Not bashing them as they would most certainly go 10-0 against me,but just like that i think they would be 0-10 against someone like Naniwa,Sjow,BratOK,Koreans etc.) Yeah because ViBE didn't 2-0 BratOK in TL Open 15... oh wait | ||

When you watch his stream you see a different player after every week. This league might come a little early for him though. I hope he somehow manages to stay in and be a serious contender in the second season. | ||

Also would like to see Adel and Mondi in there cause they are fucking awesome | ||

The TSL un-knowns made it in through prelims, I believe pre-lims would be better for this, let all the people that want to compete sign up (masters only, grandmasters now?) and make a quick program random them around into groups, the top X from the groups make it. But the invites are meant to be on "results" so unknowns have no results to speak of so they should not be invited, also please invite all these dudes that are ripping it up in TSL. | ||
