Don't understand the criticism against the excitement of commentators either. I guess maybe some of the volume balance could be tuned, but it's awesome they are putting so much energy in it. It's what makes the Korean commentators so cool  | ||

The VoDs is not up fully, the 1st three series are there but the rest is not... GSL have it all withIN 2 hours. some games are all in one VODs and some are separate making very confusing. casters were good and knowledgeable, GSL code S quality imo. guys, well done for the 1st NASL keep it up man! however you got to talk the the guys at Justin.tv about their performance because is frustrating to wait. | ||

They are great players and very exciting to watch, but it just taints the overall experience. I want pure NA server just like you have to be in Korea for the GSL, i want you to have to be in the NA to play in the NASL. The NASL is not in North America, it's online. I mean, I'd hugely prefer a real league with players sitting next to each other, seeing their reactions and matches being broadcasted live, but apparently that's too expensive. I don't see any reason for limiting the players of an online league that wants to be as big as possible to a single nationality. | ||

They just give it a shot because of the huge prizepool anyway, lag or not, you cannot blame them really (imagine if they got lucky  ) I am liking NASL so far. | ||

Also, what's up with the framerate? It feels like 15-20 fps, which isn't good... | ||

We cannot fully understand how bad it is unless pro-gamer give us an idea of the delay they get when trying to micro or something. I totally agree with you about the cross server play, and that it detrimental for a tournament if a few players are handicapped by lag. LAN events are definitely the way to go. | ||

If you genuinely never spend on anything that is just entertainment you must lead a pretty boring life, and as entertainment goes this is cheap. Sir, you have convinced me to subscribe. I, and the NASL, have you to thank for that. | ||

For you speak the common sense amid all those hypocritical self-fooling so called e-sport optimists that think they can bend reality to their liking and have a world-class tournament with 0.2s ping. I encouraged from the very beginning to invite Koreans to lan or lan-equivalent events so I can enjoy a fluent qualitative gameplay instead of watching a fest of missclicks and lag-caused micro errors. | ||

Is it just the VODs that are 1080p-only or is it the same with the actual livestream? If I can watch the livestream without lag that'd make it worth it for me. | ||

no one told you to pay to watch 240-480p, they only asked for money when you try to watch the HD quality 720p-1080p and for my cable if I wanted to get HD channels with 1080p I have to pay an extra 30$...however I am still holding on for NASL, actually the 480p is better quality than the hq on gomtv. @people saying support this with ads--you really think that other sports can make enough money of a 30sec ad every 20-40mins (and with a lot of people blocking said ad with ad-block) -- yeah you can watch sports on tv with ads but you have to watch more than 1 ad every time they go on a break, and they mostly pay for their event by having major sponsors that you see everywhere all the time. | ||

Is it just the VODs that are 1080p-only or is it the same with the actual livestream? If I can watch the livestream without lag that'd make it worth it for me. i'd imagine that if your having issues watching 1080 on youtube you'll have the same issues watching 1080 on justin.tv This isn't there fault, there have been plenty of people saying that quality and speed of the 1080 vods are fine. So blaim it on your poor connection, either watch them in 720 or buffer 1080 simple as that i think. Better yet, speak to your ISP | ||

-The overview of the matches and players...they were okay, but I felt like they should have preceded each match rather than having all 5 at the beginning. There was about a half hour of analysis before we even got to the games. Also I felt like there was a lot of material from the player interviews that got cut off or we weren't able to see. -The big one: I felt this way already from the GCPL, but Gretorp is really not cut out for casting. =\ I'm not going to overcriticize because I like him, I just think there's a big disparity between his casting level and iNcontroL's. Still, I really enjoyed it, good job guys! | ||
