1) No in-game music nor between games 2) Observer kinda sucks (if it's one of the casters, you should ask somebody do else to do it) 3) Gretorp's voice is probably one of the worst. Seriously, tell him to calm down cause i can't stand him especially when he gets WAY too much excited. And i really think these should start a bit sooner so they don't conflict with too much stuff at the same time. | ||

Obviously no latency would be better. That goes without saying, you miss my point. NASL will probably be on season 24 by the time Blizzard revamps Battle.net (if ever) | ||

I will say that they need to work on volume normalization for the casters, the peaks in volume were unacceptable and destroyed my ears. | ||

Sooner would imply that for those on the West Coast (doesn't include me) would be watching it at/prior to 5pm since it starts a 6PM PST as it is. That's going to conflict with people getting off of work or having dinner etc. I personally enjoyed the first broadcast last night, and I'll be honest, being the first run I was expecting some form of technical issues and had none (no stream lag in any resolution including 1080p for my connection at least). I do agree with some points that the in-game music would be good and perhaps some transitional tunes, as well as some work is needed on the sound levels of the microphones, but all in all I'd say job well done  .The games themselves were entertaining, unfortunately the severe lag ruined the final set and I think NASL may need to look at the rules governing a re-game. Rainbow didn't stand a chance with those latency issues period. Looking forward to the next one . | ||

Great play vs Rainbow Yes, the problem is that it just brings too much randomness/luck into play. Sometimes it seemed to be fine like Grubby vs Moon and sometimes not so much. | ||

That game vs rainbow was so boring to watch because of the lag, just totally ruins the game. Nothing was wrong with your aggressive play! | ||

I think they need to practise builds that works in lagg. Things you dont need heavy micro to swing the battles. We will prolly see this from other koreans who have more practise on NA server. | ||

My one criticism is that I think they should have had Artosis win as it would have been better for E-sports if he had. Do it for E-sports guys.  | ||

NASL will probably be on season 24 by the time Blizzard revamps Battle.net (if ever) I think you guys are getting it all wrong. Local area network tournament doesn't imply that two computers have to be connected to each other via ethernet cable omitting battle.net server nowadays. It means the tournament has to be held entirely in the same LOCALE as the bettle.net sever: I.E. L.A., Seoul, etc., where all parties are connected via optical carrier, for which a couple of dozens kilometers doesn't even matter as long as it is a solid line. GSL is a fine example of such tournament. I'm pretty sure that is what MorroW meant. I'm not saying ethernet support is superfluous, but it is irrelevant to this subject. | ||

As much as gretorp ruined the experience, im sure it will improve but... -Their feels like no chemistry between the casters, they dont go into conversation i think because gretorp usually talks about random events - the camera man was terrible, theres a few times i was surprised they had broodlords (spoiler free) and i didnt even notice til they were done, and when some banelings were going to a mineral line, he moved the cam to a different spot before they exploded, then moved back as they were all dead. -their was no hype at the beginning, and no hype at the end -Production value was very slim, (special effects) -Blazer + tshirt combo isnt professional, actually looked scrubby (artosis and tasteless wear it like boses) Other than that, they games were good, my fantasy league is looking good lol | ||

Do not know why but I feel a little animosity with the NASL, it seems that the people here is hoping that the event be a failure.... damn a tournament of this size and with great prizes, with quality free transmission and helping the growth of e-sports. How u guys dont like it? Congratulations NASL today was the best I've seen free transmission, the games were exciting, and the whole event was very successful. Whenever i have time I will see it. Thanks | ||

Would like: Background /game music on Stop playing that psi-storm your army song Better audio. Maybe better mics. Adjust gretorps volume when he yells. I wear headphones and it's too loud. Get rid of flycam map intro. Just do it mlg style. | ||

I'd like to share a few first impressions and concerns in hopes that they are heard and taken into consideration by the NASL staff. I wasn't impressed by the sound quality. It seemed to me like they were using $15 microphones. In comparison to GSL or Dreamhack, the caster sound quality was very low. The difference in volume between regular times and really excited times seems too much for me. I was listening at a volume that was comfortable during normal times, but when excitement happened, it was way too loud. The lack of music made it seem boring. I think adding in-game music and something to fill gaps out of game would be great. During early game especially, some music would help a lot. The studio that they cast in is really boring. The background is dark and uninteresting. They also wear black clothing. It is so subdued that my first impression is that they could have been receptionists in a funeral parlor. It's great that the casters dress nicely, but with that background... it's just so dull. I understand that it's hard to make an environment without an audience seem alive, but some tweaks to the studio and sound would go a long ways! Some music during transitions and a more lively background would be great, in my opinion. I know that it's not really possible to get a GSL feel with the live setting, but aiming for that kind of exciting and flashy production would be great! I didn't purchase the subscription yet, but I think I will. I'm really pleased by how smoothly the first day went. | ||
