EPTI mean I knew iNcontroL was going to get in based on his position in the league or whatever, but it just reminds me of MLG where he made top 16 because somebody dropped out.
Cue the "there's still more names to come" response.
[NASL] Players (final) - Page 87
| 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. | ||

Dde I haven't heard of before, another less known US player? Dde hasn't had much major tournament success, afaik, but he regularly does very well in small tournaments, and is one of nrg's best players in clanwars. | ||

Not sure if he have won any tournaments in sc2 so far, it can't be that many, so be sure to tune in. On topic I'm also happy that Goody got in. i watch grubbys stream quiet often, i know how good he is and i really like him. doesn't change the fact that i absolutly hate that there is a tournament of that format were players just get invited and i don't have any clue on what basis. it seems like popularity matters and that is just not right in any way. | ||

It very well may be a pure popularity contest, but I'm totally ok with that. They are all good players, no one will deny that. And if the league is to succeed, we need players people will watch and pay to watch (the most popular players). Some random grandmaster or whoever would qualify that no one has heard of would be bad for the league imo | ||

Yeah but you need players that attract viewers too. Artosis and Grubby are in NASL for that reason imo. Maybe they'll raise their game and prove us wrong but nonetheless i am excited to see them playing even if i think they'll get crushed pretty badly. And anyway, bad players will be replaced next season so no big deal. | ||

Cue the "there's still more names to come" response. I don't even understand why you brought up iNcontroL making it into the top 16 because other people didn't show up... you do realize he earned the 18th spot that he was in right? They didn't just randomly say... hmm let's find some random guy to fill in thi- oh hey Geoff. Want this spot? The selection process is completely different for MLG so... ya I really have no clue what you were going for there. I can understand that you might not think iNcontroL should be in the NASL based off the way they decide... but as for MLG who else should have gone? They went with the best option. What a poorly thought out complaint... | ||

That said, I'm hoping that once things are under way I'm proven wrong, and we really shouldn't jump to any doom-and-gloom conclusions before a match has even been played. | ||

I think the following foriegners deserve a place: Ret, Dimaga, Morrow, Optikzero, Minigun, Demuslim So, most of the following list will be turned down: TOP, Squirtle, Moonglade,MC,Inca,Rainbow,Ensnare,Nada, Lyn,July,TheWind,Supernova,Boxer,Bomber Korea's best players put all this time into applying and now, for sure, most of them won't get a spot. Those people saying "but still some are unannounced", well 10 is not enough unless you exclude most of the above, which you will struggle to justify. I think Koreans will be discouraged en masse from trying for the 8 spots for next season, because NASL accepted so few as to be disrespectful (if they'd said Koreans would be minimal from the beginning it wouldn't be so bad, but they allowed 20 great Koreans to look like they had a chance). | ||
