I think the biggest problem was the fact that the games were taking so long to setup and the constant hour+ long breaks, i mean 12hours for 8 series of games.. its a bit too much no? It seemed like the crowd started to get fustrated because of it.

Seems sort of fitting though, the ending of NASL is just as terrible as the showmatch/announcement-show for NASL. (Clash of the titans showmatch.)

And I can't believe how many hours NASL ran today without even fixing the "80% sound on right speaker, 20% on left issue", adjusting the balance should be the easiest thing in the world to do.

Thanks to Gunrun for at least making it semi-watchable, otherwise we might have had to watch smartcam all night. :D

I can live with the sound problems, and with the observer. But the one thing that really ruins it for me is having no loser's bracket. You can only see the players once, even if they didn't play their best so that's quite unfair. You also don't get the built in drama of players going through the loser's bracket on the path to the grand finals, so it really messes up a lot of stuff. I feel bad for the players that had to pay to fly in and only get to play one bo3 where they might not have played very well.

That's so lame. They can't even get simple decisions correctly.

It was nice that they did this tournament . I've enjoyed it in spurts. Aside from the relentless technical issues, it's been an entire day's worth of free entertainment. And you've got to give credit for these guys casting/playing/interviewing in front of an auditorium full of spectators - half of which are blizzard employees. Not including being streamed live to 40k viewers. I don't think I'd have the nerve to do it.

However, (This is where I complain) I really wish they would let tastotis/day9 cast the games. I really hate saying it because of the aforementioned but when the final match kicked in and gretorp/incontrol were casting again I actually shut down the stream - even though I had been waiting all day for that matchup to watch just because they are so bad at casting it ruined the experience for me. I mean, tastosis were entertaining the heck out of me and then they come back and it just accentuated the point.

Flying in all the way from Korea to play a BO3 at a grand stage and losing sucks. The Grand Finals should have been a BO5 IMO, or at least have a loser bracket like MLG so the viewers can get more games, and the players better opportunities.


They had to sacrifice /so/ much production value so they could have the large prize pool that they needed because any less and the players would not even have shown up to such a horribly unforgiving format. The maps don't help much either.

Solution -> better format, MLG style loser's bracket, cut down on intro-vids and streamline the matches to easily have twice as many games. Cut the prize pool down and use that to increase the production value.

Unfortunately they have nothing to gain by increasing production value as their sponsor has already signed on for two more seasons, they don't need to impress anyone, just do everything they can to convince the players to show up.

Actually I'm pretty sure it's Bo5 in the upcoming Ro8 and then Bo7 from the semis onward.

You can tell by the way they gave 1.5 hours for Ro8 and 2 hours per match from semis and finals.

Someone call down the Thunder?

I totally agree with you

Just hate the feeling of the possibility of maybe the best and second best may be matched up first round by the luck of the draw. I don't know how long NASL season was but it felt very long and just sucks for someone to get knocked out first round after going through such a long season :/
