What happens if NASL doesn't get 1024 players?

I assumed the reason for the daytime weekday schedule was because the NASL casters and staff work daytime weekday hours. If that's true, its a decent reason even if it sucks for many players. You gotta do what you gotta do to get it organised.

If that isn't true, and you're going with this reason:


In that case I completely disagree with you. Obviously there is no time that can work for everyone all over the world, so some groups have to be prioritised. I would argue that this is the NASL and you should be picking a time which works for the majority of NA people. IMO, 1pm is not such a time. Almost everyone who is not already supporting themselves off of SC2 is either working or in school. And most people who are working or in school are busy at 1 pm. Evenings or weekends is when most people can play.

If you guys are serious about wanting a serious league of really skilled players, you are going to need good quality players in your qualifying tournament, so you should make efforts to make sure that good quality players who want to play can play. Nobody wants to see someone qualify who doesn't have the skill to compete with the other NASL players. Watching matches where one player is way better than the other is boring and isn't going to attract viewers.

That's right. Nony explained it one time on state of the game
You become a progamer not by quitting everything and training 24/7 suddenly. You become a progamer by putting all of your free time into gaming without dropping anything else. If you can compete with the best players despite not being full time, you might want to consider going "all-in."

And I think NASL should adjust itself to follow the words of tyler, as this is the north AMERICAN star league and tyler is everything that is American.

So I think that discouraging non full time players from north america, this is kind of nasl shooting itself in the foot

Quick question: Why two qualifiers (Open and Season 2)? Why not just have one qualifier and take the top 16 people, while advancing the top player to the sweet 16 of season 1?

What happens if all 16 spots from the open tournament and the qualifying tournament end up being Koreans? hahaha :D

Excellent, many SlayerS players have signed up:

SlayersAlicia  shortstuff.591
SlayerSCella   SlayerSCella.233
SlayersMMA     MAVENGENCE561
slayersRyung   Zerg267

What's the prize pool for Season 2? If I had to pay an entry fee (yeah $5 is nothing but still), I would like to know how much I can win.

Are you sure these are real? I added Mavengence and he was doing some 3v3 and is platinum 1v1 w/ an awful record.

a) "Most people who are working or in school are busy at 1pm" -- most pro players don't work or go to school. Therefore, if your argument is that the best players should play, then the 1pm start time won't affect anything at all.

b) If we're serious about getting the best players, then we need a time that's good for Europeans and not too bad for Koreans. 1pm is a perfect slot for that.

Everything you said in your post contradicts itself.
