That makes total sense to me. I think there is a difference between lower quality and frustrating quality. You could fill that "dead air" with a thousand and one things for the paying viewers. You could even package it as bonus content. | ||

People are complaining that they aren't getting that content. Any other content that the paid viewers get exclusive access to will also be complained about. | ||

What makes GSL so great is the fact that all the players are presented and playing at the time of the live stream as well as the actual LIVE commentators. For some reason, I totally thought NASL going to have all players present at an area and have the match aired like that of GSL, but apparently, the whole thing is prerecorded with a non-existence competitive atmosphere. Since the thing isn't even "technically" live it's almost better off to get more audiences as well as less technical problems by posting it on youtube. - Drastic drop is probably because it is the weekend. - The TSL isn't Live either but that is great to watch, the atmosphere is there. - NASL broadcast virtually everyday, it would be near impossible to try organize 50 different players from around the world to show up every week | ||

I was hoping it would be similar to the GSL but in my timezone... but today IdrA's stream had more viewers and I'm starting to see why. =/ Plus, TSL just outclasses NASL on so many levels and most people don't want to sit around watching SC2 all day. | ||

The closest I saw the viewer numbers was 8700ish to 8k. Then IdrA's stream crashed a couple of times and he left soon thereafter - this is when NASL reached the 12k you're talking about. | ||

I think your argument makes sense but I can't be sure of the exact effect of this. However, it doesn't account for IdrA (emphasis on the fact that this is ONE player) having more viewers than NASL which IMO is far more interesting and telling of NASL's quality compared to say, GSL & TSL (basically an online GSL, which speaks a lot to the guys behind it). | ||

Like knowing that its going to last 3 months and that these first 2 months are barely important, really deters from the event and removes a lot of the fun factor. I mean people want to see important matches that mean something, fighting for big money so everything is on the line, but knowing these matches are sort of a prequel to the main thing is kind of ruining the fun. Also since its not live and over the internet having absolutely nothing interesting to show or talk about between the matches really hurts the experience. Also there needs to be some kind of graphics, like show a graphic of the bracket, show a graphic of the players, show a graphic of the map, etc... I mean they should have probably started with a smaller prize pool, something like 30k and use more resources into production and build from there. I mean I really want to support e-sports, but this is not the way you do stuff, you don't go from 400.000 dollars prize pool to 150.000 and no production. You really need to start small and build up. Also people were expecting a lot more, $400.000 prize pool and people were 100% sure its going to be a really professional, really great production with everything in perfect order. And people have every right to think that way, because they advertised it as such and they failed. | ||
