Really would like the VODs to have an option of lower quality. My internet connection can handle 1080p just fine without buffering, but I have data caps and the 1080p stream rips through over 1.5GB of data per hour. The 360p and 480p streams are really good quality and I'd love to watch the VODs at these resolutions so I don't have to worry about data so much.

Payed 25$ and happily watched the VODs... after downloading them from torrents.

Seriously, I knew JTV will screw this up hard for Europe, but starting re-broadcast one hour earlier? Even better: we don't have ANY UPDATE on when is it even supposed to start tomorrow. You can as well just stop pretending you care about European viewers

Is there an official way to provide feedback about the NASL ? Are the officials from the NASL reading this thread ? I'm a paying customer, and I would like to give my feedback. But I'm not sure that the "contact us" option on the official website is the best..

Lag and people spoiling the results in chat (although to be fair the mods got a quick handle on most of these) left a bitter taste in my mouth but I hope and believe things will improve. Really impressed with the quality of the free stream though it must be said.

Just turn off chat, because it doesn't add anything except for trolls, obviously.

This is unfortunate but completely understandable. I can't believe July woke up at 4 am and then waited for 4 hours

Stream was laggy, even at 240, turned off at least 2 times otherwise the production looked decent and games were pretty good.

That is indeed rather insane. Rather sad, though as that was by far the match I was looking forward to for day 2...

Vods took ages to load for me sadly, had to let them load up for a good 30-60 mins before i could watch flawlessly, overall i felt it was a good first shot and i hope to see how it is when incontrol/gretorp are used to casting and NASL improves on their production (which is good already), cant wait for more games! so exciting been able to watch top matches each day.

The lag is unfortunate, but the silver lining is that since it's recorded live, we can see the lag window constantly pop up so we can avoid all the angry arguing over whether or not someone was really badly affected by lag, since it's so evident. I feel bad for Rainbow. The sad thing is that if Rainbow's match was cast from replays and we didn't see the lag window constantly popping up, there'd be people angrily cursing the those who bring up lag as an "excuse". I hope this is an eye-opener for people who care about fairly judging games.

My only in-game issue that needs correcting (all my other little quibbles will be fixed with time.) is the lack of music that's going on. There needs to be something in the studio when they're talking, and in-game music needs to be on. It just feels too "dry" without some sort of ambience.

That said, I'm really loving the NASL.

well let us think about other tourneys that don't RESTREAM for Europe. But seriously it is the first day calm down they will get it together and chill.... Maybe you don't understand that people in na stay up to watch events like dreamhack/assembly/gsl without a re stream so hey at least be happy you get one

no, vods are for subscribers. I guess you will just have to catch the stream/restream =/

HD-Husky and 3 other youtube casters will each cast one series from each day. Other than that you will not be able to watch the vods

2 Things:

1:
Today there went on like 3-4 other streamed tournaments/events at the same time that war featured on team liquid.
Yes, the players there were worse (well, most of them) but it's not like a shitty NASL-Stream is something people will watch anyway.

2:
Europe is good money. It's the NASL's interest to restream. I never would pay for VOD's, thats the reason i don't pay for the GSL. I want sort of a live experience. They might get my money, but i for sure won't do anything until i'm sure this runs SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH.
