What do Haypro, Moonan and Grubby have in common? Out of the ten people threatened to be thrown out of the NASL, those three are the only non-North Americans! Well, Moonan still has a good chance to slip past Cruncher (both same number of points), pushing that number down to 2, so I'm definitely going to root for him! InControl is doing far better than I expected and somehow, I am more glad about the fact how ignorant I was than if I were right. :-) edit: removing typos. | ||

So the "home server advantage" isn't as big as one might think. It's great how Boxer manages to place so high in his group, which does have plenty of goot players. He even has a good shot at placing 2nd and get a seed into the finals. The games he lost in the super tournament, he lost because of his own mistakes, glad to see that he maybe just had a day off. Btw. Moonan's chance of slipping past Cruncher is slimmer than I thought. They have one future game against each other, but while Cruncher "only" has to face qxc and TT1, Moonan stands before WhiteRa and JulyZerg... edit: the Koreans on the other hand, are doing remarkably well. All of them except Rainbow are currently in the top 6, which roughly qualifies them for the bracket tournament for the finals (it actually the top 30 of all players in 5 divisions). TT1 is also still in the game and Fenix is ranked very high in his division, maybe the good training in the team house is starting to pay off? | ||

Glad I am not the only one interested in crunching numbers on the NASL. The bottom 16 players (by record, then scoring, finally head-to-head) are going to be kicked out of NASL next season. Based on my simulations, that essentially implies that all players with less than 4 wins, with exception for the highest scoring 3-win player. So far...
To be the highest scoring 3-win, a player needs to be at least (-3pt) to survive relegation. That means these players are mathematically eliminated if they end up with a 3-6 record or worse:  Grubby,  PainUser,  Machine, Artosis, MaNa, GoOdy, Drewbie, ClouD, RainBOw. The interesting thing is that while a player like qxc is technically not eliminated, he needs to go 6-0 in his remaining schedule against SjoW, CrunCher, and DarKFoRcE, just to have a chance to survive for next season. | ||

I thought the bottom 2 of each division gets thrown out, but in fact it's the bottom 16 in the overall standing. Regarding overall standing, does anybody know when that will finally be updated on the nasl site? | ||

For those who want are interested how each region is doing (too lazy to calculate for each nation): NA: 9 out 18 are in the bottom 16 (50%) Korea: 1 out of 11 are in the bottom 16 (9%) SEA (more like rest of asia): 1 out of 2 (50%) EU: 5 out of 19 are in the bottom 16 (26%) So while NA and SEA would lose half of their players, Europe loses significantly less and Korea barely loses anyone. Everything is still in the open though, as there are plenty of people in the lower-middle field who have about the same number of points. There'll be significant fluctuation in the standing as players fight to stay in, in the final days of the division round! (due to where I live in, I'll root for the europeans though) On a sidenote, I just realized how good Seth really is... O.o I will definitely look forward to see him in the GSTL! | ||

Moonan (Korean/American FXO Terran player) isn't playing in this tournament, yet. Are you referring to MoMan (Zerg french player for CN)? | ||
