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. | ||

No ret, no Minigun, no DeMuslim, no Morrow, no Thorzain?? These are waaaay too good to leave out for some Koreans you can watch every day in the GSL anyway. FUCK YOU NASL! | ||

Nonames ftw! We hate koreans!!! rahhhh :D <3 It's not about that, it's about the popularity contest and seemingly biased selection process based on who you know that has clearly privileged a select few in a certain "clique" at the expense of other arguably more deserving players. | ||

The keywords here being "seemingly" and "arguably". :p I'm sure there will still be opportunities for criticism after they've unveiled the full list and their explanation for the picks.  | ||

O_o You guys really need to get some more professionalism, sarcasm looks so so bad when it comes from any sort of 'official'. I only wish the best for NASL but seriously, the whole thing feels very amateur on lots of levels, which is quite off-putting. | ||

This is such a shame What, how is going to lans related to being in the tournament, empire Kas for example is Easily one of the best players in europe but afaik has not gone to any big lans yet.(He did not apply to NASL though as far as I know but thats besides the point.) | ||

If you announce 5 Koreans amongst the first 25 players and then go dry from 30-45. You could mess around with lots of people into believing only 5 will be in the league. But do include some of the obvious top Korean invites in the first 5 otherwise people will know there's more to come. Last round you get all 5 (for a total of 10) Koreans and you get a better hype imo  . | ||

Grubby has not shown anything significant in Starcraft 2 unless you consider a few neat ladder replays significant. He was an incredible WC3 player, but you don't invite a world class badminton player to Wimbledon. Moon and Ace are struggling to make Code A in GSL and the only reason there were at IEM is because they immediately got knocked out of Code A that season and not because they were especially more eager to participate in tournaments outside of Korea. If you're going to restrict the number of Korean invitees, these two guys are far down in the list of deserving Koreans. I'm sorry that I sound so cynical, but I just feel that NASL is taking the "showmatch" approach away from a skill-based tournament and I don't like it at all. They' say that they want stories, but it seems that they want it so bad that they want to force specific "stories" rather than letting new stories happen. Yes, you can tell me to just go watch GSL, and that is probably what I'll end up doing, but I was initially quite excited about such a large-scale tournament in NA as I'm an American and would've loved to follow NASL and actually attend the offline events for the final 16. | ||
