I could give you more, but already this list is more impressive than so many others. like it or not, cruncher is here to stay. | ||

However, since both wins are both expected by the projection, there remains no significant separation from the rest of the pack. This also implies that, for the remainder of the season, July controls his own destiny.As the projection predicted, iNcontroL starts to lose his initial luster this week. Looking forward, he has to face one of the toughest remaining schedule in the weeks ahead. On the bright side, iNcontroL will be seeded highly in for the playoffs regardless of the remaining results. MoMaN, while technically still in contention, will be luckly to even make it to NASL Season 2. Similar things can be said about qxc, but I still hold blind fate in my heart that he will make major come back with completion of his schooling life.Preliminary Division 2 Projections - Week 4
NASL Prospectus: Division Projections put that in op. euros will want to read it in the evenings. | ||

 ', he leaves the stream open and so on. He becomes more and more known and is invited in every tournament. Smart move. I bet he doesn't care and loves the situation and that's why idra said that he shouldn't be mentioned.watch the catz nasl application vod for further strategic explanation | ||

On NASL.tv the most recent update on maps says: The Shattered Temple We will be eliminating close spawns. In all other respects it will be identical to the Blizzard version. The overview picture of the map on the site has no supply depot as well. I think it's the newest MLG version of the map that introduced the neutral supply depot but I cant find any information about NASL updating to use that version as well. Cruncher would surely have lost either way but were the players actually informed about the change cause it seems that the public werent? | ||

In this case, Cruncher should've asked for a pause then asked the refs about that issue as soon as he saw that it was a different map. | ||

He's actually a good player. Sure he beat Idra with an imba metagame strategy, but that doesn't mean we should all hate on him. Predictable gameplay? Not really. Turtling as a toss is standard, every toss turtles. Even despite that, we saw he was capable of doing gateway pushes also. He is on top of the ladder for a reason. He wins games in tourneys for a reason. He is not a bad player. Stop hating. | ||

They might have just forgot to note this when they did the update. The neutral supply is exactly the same as the bunker block but before it was merely a building blocker which visually doesn't change the map. So it isn't similar to the Tyler situation. It's just a visual change. Unless they previously didn't use version that eliminated the below ramp wall off. | ||

As much as I dislike Cruncher, this does need to be addressed. It seems like they forgot to mention that neutral Supply Depots have been added at every ramp. Do the Supply Depots clearly show up on other small map previews? | ||

Can't seem to find the individual game VODs. http://www.justin.tv/naslseasonone/b/285246889 The VODs gets posted as they finish processing, but NASL doesn't link them on nasl.tv until the EU broadcast finished. You can see them earlier at: http://www.justin.tv/naslseasonone/videos | ||

@Both of you! I hope you guys shift more towards that mentality in the future. The commentating is way better than it was even just a few weeks ago, it's obvious you guys are getting more comfortable doing it and it's really cool to watch that progression. I used to be alright with missing a night of the NASL, and now in the back of my head if I'm out doing anything all I can think about is the games I'm missing haha. Keep it up, it's super legit and you guys rock. | ||
