True. It's not whining so much as....well it is whining. But people recognize we're very very early in the NASL's lifespan.

I believe they chose the players based on entertainment value. They didn't want to pick a clear favorite like MC, or someone who wouldn't take the NASL seriously like the peeps invited to TSL who didn't prepare for the latency/lag.

Unfortunately in Day 1 we were already exposed to Rainbow's lag-loss, but I'm assuming Ensnare was picked because he's in the oGs house, is in the GSL, and his TvT is amazing and his past games have been very remarkable?


This makes sense to me. Thanks!

The TSL is also recorded.


TSL has better production and casters. However, it's TL's 3rd so they've got experience.

NASL is trying though. They may improve with time.

Is it me or this is the TYPICAL INTERNET UGLINESS?

They put together an impressive domestic league and all everyone does is bitch about how everything sucks.

Jesus freakin' Christ. Why don't YOU put together a league? I know negativity bandwagon on internet is so easy to hop on to, but give them a break.

Totally uncalled for. Stop being a fanboy and relax.

I don't know man. Based on the morrow vs rainbow game last night it seems like the lag from Korea is horrible. Rainbow was barely able to even stay in the game he kept getting the lag out screen all the time and you could see him give unit directions and they would be delayed by seconds.


Yeah, I don't even know why they counted that series in Morrow's favor. It wasn't a fair fight in the slightest.


They were the most pitiful games to watch. Though I think Rainbow just played stupid in game 1... game 2 was a lag joke.


Game 2 was just ugly. I feel bad for Rainbow.

"How does your first NASL win feel?"

"It feels alright... I just got done with Dreamhack..."

That's really one of the only downsides of this format. Each individual win doesn't necessarily mean that much. There are enough players in each division that you can lose a couple games and still come out alright.


If the players are smart they'll be putting a lot on each individual win. Granted $15,000 wasn't on the line in this series with TT1, but if they want to get top 2 in their group even dropping a single series can be disastrous.

On another note, it seemed like TT1 almost threw those games. Like...that was really, really, bad.


They're obviously still going to try their best to win, but you can't be surprised if the players aren't super excited after winning their first match.

Stop fuckin bitching about your money's worth, we've seen TWO DAYS OF MATCHES. They will get better, Tastosis didn't get it right immediately, shit, give them a break. If it's not any better at all by June 10 that's when we can say it wasn't worth it, but not two days into it.

But they did pick MC.

He's playing on Friday.

I'm pretty interested to see how this Ensnare vs. Incontrol series will go. Really don't know what to expect from it.

If they aren't competent enough to put out a decent production they shouldn't spend months over hyping the league and charging people $25 for an HD stream.

They made it seem as though the nasl was going to be incredible with never before seen production and quality, but it turned out to be worse than even MLG who at least got the casters right if nothing else.

This five minutes seems longer than five minutes. Maybe I'm just excited, though.

I agree about the casters, but what's wrong with live-recorded?

They're actually better than casting from replays- i.e. TSL3

still not as exciting as TSL3, and where are these epic production values they were talking about, its so plain. I regret paying i dont feel like im getting my money's worth ><

casters are really really meh and thats the biggest letdown for me so far. Its mostly gretorp i cant really stand him


its been 2 days, you paid for 3 months of entertainment lets try to seriously think about what "getting your money's worth" really means in light of this statement.

Gretorp actually is really smart and knows exactly what hes talking about for the most part. What we need is just to give GrInc time to grow as a duo and when that happens we will see some magic. Just wait and see :D

I think TT1 just had one of those days. Didn't seem like the same guy who beat Nada on TV a couple weeks ago, or who got 2nd at MLG.
