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. | ||

Now it will be hard for the best foreigners to get in this league. What if Dimaga and Kas (or Adelscott, ToD, Thorzain, Jinro, Huk ...) have to play in an early round in the qualification-tournament? This is really bad  User was temp banned for this post. | ||

Rules be damned hes a top3 foreigner zerg and reps himself in tourneys, unlike half the other invitees who just fly by on "pedigree" alone. Also the link in the TL thing to "take a look at who applied" says nothing about the actual applications which from what I gather were handed in privately to the organisers and as such is fairly misleading. Also I understand why you invited Rainbow but really hes the best you could choose from? he doesn't even have a big fanbase. Getting people in just because of the colour of their skin is pretty low. I agree what you say about some of those players but.. skin color? At the moment there is overwhelming more white dudes then koreans. what are you smoking? | ||

I really don't get how people keep bringing up painuser as someone who should be left out for other people. And clearly this league cares about rules and punctuality which is why they have the $250 deposit there, so if they can't even manage to do the very first and probably most important thing on time it should be pretty damn obvious that they are gonna be left out. So no it's not a travesty that Dimaga is being left. | ||

The denial so far of inviting at least one of the best Korean players is extremely disrespectful to a) the fans who'd rather seem them play instead of players like moman (still wondering how he's in) b) Koreans who made e-sports possible c) GSL who goes above and beyond in support of foreigners in Korea. Fans everywhere are excited that Starcraft 2 is globalizing, even Koreans judging from the reactions. Yet, NASL has thus far taken a huge step backwards in the globalization of e-sports in general. edit: but hey there's still 5 spots ... just somehow doubtful, though. | ||

Get back to the real world. real world ? Well if it is a law firm and you want to work there chances are you aren't famous and you being late means you're not up for the job. But this is entertainment business, DIMAGA is a fan-favourite and he couldn't have possibly wanted to be late, especially if his video was one of the first like someone mentioned. His english isn't perfect or whatever,he might have had his reasons, but NASL will actually lose viewership because of this. Unless ViBe and Darkforce turn out to be former rockstars ... | ||

No dimaga, no Kas, no top koreans... This seems pretty arbitrary to me... For the billionth time, his application (not the video) was late. All tournaments have deadlines and since everyone else managed to get their application in time, there's no one to blame but himself. Kas didn't apply at all. | ||

I think the problem was Xeris posting that the deadline was extended by the week and not putting a define date and timezone. | ||

Hmmm i think i must be getting him confused with cezanne woops . its a totally valid invite then my bad. Now that im not getting the 2 confused ensnare is actually an incredibly good terran and im glad they invited him, his beef with idra will be interesting. Oh and like someone else pointed out the fact that incontrol is participating (and hes really not a top 50 player) although he is a commentator and figurehead of the NASL is a conflict of interest and somewhat disheartening that one really gets to me, but im pretty sure he will drop within the first 2 seasons ,right now there are more than 16 players who i dont consider top 50 necessarily so i think it will take 2 to 3 seasons for the league to stabilize and become the "best" players based on merit. Unfortunately if the league isnt a success before then it wont go on anwyways. I think if they had a system that literally split up the players from each region fairly equally (maybe more players from na and eu) and decided based on achievements alone i dont think anyone could or would be complaining by doing this you wouldnt really be pissing anyone off as you could show the system of how you chose the players with the most bla bla bla finishes or players who have finished first in major tournaments , i dont see how they are going to explain some of these invites right now as some of them literally have no acheivments , machine has maybe 1 tournament he got second in and it was a small online tournament since the beta as an example, but i knew just by who was involved in making this tournament that he would be invited. Obviously a qualifier tournament is the most fair but if your really stating your going to be inviting the 50 best players in the world then creating a system where the top 50 players with the most achievements get put into the tournament is the best way to go as you can explain exactly why everyone was chosen and no one can really argue. The way they have done it id say they have probably pissed off about 20% of their potential customer base ( could be a bit low or high but lots of ppl complaining) even if it was lower than that its still could be quite a substantial number of potential customers. Whereas doing it with an achievement based system that everyone could understand could have made everyone happy, clearly they are more worried about having their friends in the league than making it successful though =/ | ||

Lets see how Season 1 plays out, afterwards i can moan as much as i want! :D //sidenote: Which notable foreigners are still left out? Who could be the last 5 people? Right now i am missing a DeMuslim, MorroW and NightEnD the most. Of course i would love to see more top notch koreans invited, but i'd also like so see the likes of Bomber or Min in here. | ||
