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.

iNcontroL had nothing to do with the selection process. Anywho, we think everyone will be quite excited by the players announced tomorrow and Tuesday!

"Grubby was selected because he's on Team EG"



Does anyone know what team Xeris is actually from? lol
Because its NOT EG


Of course, but let me list the long list of accomplishments that Grubby has in Starcraft 2 that verifies his NASL spot;



I get he doesn't have accomplishements, but artosis doesn't eitehr and everyones thrilled at him being in. They are both in because the fans wanted them and this is a business. the bottom 16 have to requalify, if Grubby, or any other "Bad, undeserving" players are as "bad" as people are stating, they won't requalify.

I think their main gripe is that more skilled and accomplished players (specifically koreans) have been (or looks like) overlooked for guys like Grubby, vibe...etc

Newsflash for everyone complaining:

You don't have to watch if you don't like it. If you're so set on deciding how this thing should be run, go out and find some angel investors and start your own league. It shouldn't be hard for you, seeing as you're already an expert!


Listen right here;

I want ESPORTS in the west to grow, I will be supporting the NASL and I will be spending money on getting whatever paid services that they will be offering. Because quite frankly if this falls face first it's going to set things back and I do not want that.

However if you look at the way things are being ran and the demonstrations that they are constantly putting out and not question yourself or the production of the league then I really don't know what to tell you.

Let's just say that if I was an investor with money sunk into this project and saw the production value of the TSL3 and then the Clash of the Titans I'd probably want to withdraw my support or just distance myself from the decision.

People get up in arms about the voting process, saying they don't want the league to be a popularity contest and that they want good games to come from it, this leads the league to respond saying that the player selection process will be "On Results and a bunch of mystery voodoo stuff while the voting plays a small part"

Choices like Grubby/Axslav/Artosis/PainUser just make you scratch your head. Now, don't get all nerdy and sperg out on me and start getting upset that I'm insulting your favorite players. I know Grubby from his War3 days and Artosis is by far one of the best commentators in the sport, but what have either of the two done to get an invite?

Other than be on EG or friends with the tournament organizers.

"We are really proud of our website" was said on a state of the game, and when it was released the community hated it and now the websites "real" release will be out in April. Heres the announcement of the announcement with a show match to create excitement for the announcement turns into "The Clash was a stand-alone event that is not connected to the NASL"

The organizers backpedal faster than <insert extremist of your choice> being called on <subject of your choice>

It's troubling, there are huge red flags being thrown in the air and Incontrol and the NASL staff have posted numerous times that they want the "community" to be involved. Well, here we are, trying to be involved in the best way we know how (by QQ and sperging out on forums)

Like I said, I'm going to be sending money their way anyway, I will probably watch and pray that the production value at least matches the reddit open or the TSL, but I want esports to boom and I'm not going to sit around being hopeful and blind to the obvious horrible decisions going on.

I'm pretty sure there is a huge difference between the most accomplished European WC3 pro-gamer and a player who's never been into the spotlight at all before the NASL. Seeing that the goal is to attract as many people as possible, inviting Grubby was just logical. It's a completely different story for nonames like ViBE though.

I understand this, but it is an NA league, they are OBVIOUSLY going to have more NA players than KR players, for at least the first season to give them a chance to requalify. This is not GSL v2.0.

If the KR players are so much better than all the NASL invites, they will surely take the 16 spots in season 2 that are qualifier based.

Before you call a player "bad" or "undeserving" watch the league? If they are so undeserving they will be in that bottom 16 and won't be back next year.

NASL also wants to create storylines, players you can relate to, big personalities.
They have already created underdog stories for players like ViBe, MoMan, stalife, Grubby, and others that have been shit on by people. Many of these players will surprise you.

Look at TSL. They invited tons of people from Korea, but the only feedback they are getting is "lol lag not fair". It would seem stupid to invite a ton of korean if they cant even play.

Yeah I was surprised at watching a maxed out grubby afraid to attack move into a dead terrans base and extending the match out for fifty more minutes than needed.

I'm pretty sure I'm not friends with MoMaN, nor am I friends with any of the Koreans , nor am I friends with most of the players in the league. I can assure you that nobody was picked because they were "friends" of anyone who made the decisions.

That and I think the Liquibets for a lot of the TSL games have shown that players perceived by fans to be "bad" or worse than another player isn't always the case

Are you implying ViBE has a following that would justify his invitation into NASL? I highly question this. I'm not denying people already heard of him, but what matters is the ability to excite people. Seeing Grubby play will excite approximately 2000 times as many people as seeing ViBE play. No, that's not an exaggeration, but an actual number.

Seems that way, and I like how theres this huge post and you just isolate one part of it, I'm hoping that on Tuesday when ~+*All things get revealed*+~ that it's explained in a good enough way to warrant some of the choices.

Also I have no problem with MoMaN and was actually hoping he would get it due to his application video, so good job at that I guess.

Oh man, that would be amazing. Lots of top tier Koreans, no one wants to see those "good" NA/EU players anyway. Koreans only, please!

That would be fucking terrible. 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!

Newsflash: if NASL fails, other investors will stay miles away from esports



Newsflash: If NASL fails it will be because of whiny little spoiled kids like the ones in this thread who think they know more then about everyone else in the world because mama told then so.
