EPTRet is in
Also happy with Grubby and Artosis. I'm not sure if they are currently the best players in the world, but always fun to watch imo.
Ret fighting!
[NASL] Players (final) - Page 134
| 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. | ||

Saving any comments about koreans being included/excluded until after they announce the players, so I don't end up eating my own words. Although I'm not the biggest fan of how they decided invites for this season, I suppose all in all it has turned out reasonably well. Hopefully future seasons will have a better way of deciding who gets in and who gets out. NASL application videos are fun and all, but it should be a more sustainable and reliable method in the long run. Future players in the tournament will be decided throught the 2 open tournaments, there will be no more invites after the first season, the bottom 16 of season 1 drop out and are replaced by 8 players from each of the 1024 man tournaments. | ||

Nothing. Zenio? Nothing. Ensnare? Nothing. I really hope NASL will be a great tournament but so far, they have been disappointing in almost every aspect. Yes, I sound like a raging nerd of which I am not lol, but IMHO decisions made were rather questionable, like inviting ViBe, dde, etc over more popular players which will give more viewers. By not having DeMuslim (which is not 100% certain), we pretty much ignored UK's best player. Dimaga turned in his application late but I think it shouldn't have matter THAT much... Ignoring Eastern European and post-soviet countries here. Boxer,Nada,July (BW legends) will attract Korean viewers as well and having no-namers I stated above will hurt interest in Korea (Well, they might be invited anyways). Yea i dunno about ensnare, he even failed to qualify through the code a qualifiers this season =/ seems like they are taking lower end korean players , players that defently wouldnt increase viewership, rainbow is okay in my mind but zenio and ensnare are only okay, and leaving out top korean players in favor of these players boggles my mind, I totally dont get what these organizers are doing , they want to make money right? Then invite the best Mc July, and the most popular Nada Boxer, if that doesnt happen tommoro i dont know what to say. Im assuming tommoro will be Nada Boxer July Morrow, if not then =/ | ||

Most importantly though you dont know if your favorite plater actually applied in time, didnt apply, or just is too swamped and hence decided to wait untill the next season(with noteable exceptions being the ones mentioned in the box up top). So stop acting like you do. Also if youre late with your application then guess what, youre still in the real world and here being late doesnt always mean you actually still get a spot no matter how good you are. They're just gonna have to wait it out. Also the reasoning that the first season is gonna have to be the show of a lifetime and without the absolute top players it wont be anything near(cos otherwise why would you be so vocal about how it wont be?) is just bollocks. The lineup they have now is great, lots of talented players in there and some that have started to fallter but could easily pull off an upset. The GSL is a perfect example of how something can start out real good but only keep getting better and better and thus more popular and bigger and why the NASL is excempt from this I really wonder why anyone would think that way. | ||

That's why he's in it and similar reasons for Grubby and Artosis. Because they're famous. so why does NASL's video on their homepage announcing the league state "the greatest players the world has ever seen" if this is CLEARLY not the case. | ||

I know this is called the 'North American Starleague' but please, don't say you aim to have the very best players for your league and then show up with this. The NASL is disqualifying itself as a top tier tournament by publishing this list of players.I can't help but think that a lot of these invites had much more to do with people lobbying themselves or their friends in rather then having their actual applications and skill levels judged. I also find it highly unprofessional that an admin and founder of the league is also a participant. Don't get me wrong, these players are all certainly skilled, and could probably show us some exciting games, but that's not what the NASL promised us. Sure, when something is hyped so much there is bound to be some dissapointment, but being the naive fool I am I always trust more in the honesty of people then in my own skepticism. When people say they will deliver I expect them to be able to. It saddens me to see the eSport scene (with a few exceptions ofcourse) is still as unprofessional as it gets. The only thing that impresses me is the prize money. | ||

I suppose thats a decent plan then. Allows NASL to build a core group of viewers and then from then on start getting the best in through the tournaments. Who's to say that the best players now will be the best players 1 season from now? Sure the first season might bring up some controversy (as we can clearly see) but as long as its planned out like this, I see no issue with this method. | ||

But the invites were given out before those games, and for all NASL knew Mondragon wasn't practising at all and would have been rolled by Zeerax. :/ | ||
