If like Tyler and Naniwa were drawn in the first round, in the open bracket 1, could the looser compete in the next open bracket, 2 or 3? Otherwise they will have to wait a season to get in. Still loving the open bracket idea, go IPL! 2nding this request. | ||

That way, if you get a crazy draw in qualifier 1, you can just try again in 2, then 3 and if somehow you're still not getting it and you're good enough to make the league, you have one last chance in the fourth qualifier, but instead of top 8, you need to be top 4. It adds that sense of urgency while still giving players plenty of chances to quality. | ||

If they wanted eSports to grow, they should allow lower leagues to compete. How I look at that is that if you want to compete then you have to have at least a decent foothold on the game. There are plenty of good people in masters at the moment that havn't reached Grand Masters for different reasons. The fundamental understanding is that if you want to compete then you need to have at least put in the effort to get yourself into Masters. Even if you have cheesed your way into masters you have at least practiced the cheese multiple times but they defintely won't win in the long run. Especially how it's not all based on BO1s. If I was a diamond/lower player then If i want to compete then I would now have a reason to work myself into Masters and then sign up to the qualifiers... Not sure how else to say this in any other way!! glhf | ||

Am I correct in thinking that 28 of the 32 spots will be determined via an online open tournament? If that is the case, then hacking would seem to be a potentially HUGE problem. What's to stop anonymous cheats from using the latest hacks to help them qualify for the tournament? Or using ringers. | ||

Once you land a qualifying spot though, you cannot try to raise your seed by competing in more qualifiers. | ||

Very few players actually like Testbug (to me its ok, because its quite good for zerg compared to most other maps, but even i dislike it somewhat). And Neo Enigma is a fucking trainwreck of a map, its always the first map i veto in ESL cups. So yea, i think the mappool is really good. edit: by players i meant people who actually have a decent chance at qualifying for this, not everyone who plays sc2. Yes, no iCCup maps please. Testbug is awful. If it's a winners pick next map format, it is always the zerg player that picks it.

I checked the NASL stats and zerg seems to be doing fine on this map. From games I have seen, they also do quite well for themselves. I guess the many hallways is counter-acted by the fact that all the bases are so spread apart which is easy for zerg to defend and harass. | ||

I think this is because NASL has opened themselves up too much to feedback. I think people would respect NASL more if at the beginning they'd simply stuck to their guns instead of making a show of appeasing everyone and their mothers. IGN doesn't have feedback threads in every single sub-forum, and yet are doing fine. I think it goes to show that sometimes, appeasing the community has more to do with just doing your thing well than it does asking everyone in the community what they want. | ||

NASL promoted itself by having "the best players in the world". IPL has done no such claims. | ||

And at NASL, the discussion erased because some players and viewers demanded to exclude koreans because of the competition. It was not because of lag issues or other considerations by the organisation. The reasoning is hugely different. | ||
