1. Hire the guy who did Puma's intro and the NASL finals player intro with the poses. Instead of the hour long recaps with the horrible quality application videos, get him to do all the player intros. 2. Fix the scheduling. Let players set up ASAP. 3. Fix sound issues. 4. Get better booths. | ||

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. While a loser's bracket is more exciting for us observers, I wouldn't exactly call their system unfair. Every player going in to the tournament knows the format, they know they have to give it their all in 2/3 games of each match, or they are going home early. I definitely prefer a loser's bracket (especially since it helps build storylines that the NASL wants to build) but I have no sympathy for those who lost, as they knew the stakes. | ||

Hell, I think the League season was much much better than what we saw today. I know you guys improved a lot through the season but what happened today? I don't think I had a moment where I could enjoy the audio and all the delays ugh. I really feel for the people who didn't take a day off today | ||

It's just disheartening to see guys like Ret fly out from the Netherlands only to get knocked out by a bunker rush and an early tank timing (and I was cheering for PuMa). | ||

They prerecord stuff only to not cut the mistakes out (it takes too long to look through all the footage inc said once lol). The Skype casts were pretty terrible. The booths dont look very soundproof, pretty, stable, comfortably or any other positive adjective you might come up with (I guess "black" is pretty much the only thing they are). Here's my theory: They don't say where the money comes from, because the guy/company who pays for it doesnt want his name on that thing. Cant blame him/them QFT and no one should gimme that crap about how "they're trying their best guise!!!" This is a business, and last time I checked if you don't do your job properly you lose it. | ||

The few games I did catch today were good, long, exciting games(except for white-ra). NASL needs to realize that their only redeeming factor is the great players at their tournament and tastosis. Everything else is fluff, and the production is sub par to bad. Not that I'm hating on NASL. Ultimately this is good because the players get paid and we still see great games. But I am saying that things really need to change; nobody likes the fluff and the production is by far the worst of any major tournament | ||

They had an entire season + playoffs to get to the finals, there's your double elimination, only instead of double it was like quadruple. | ||

This is a business, and last time I checked if you don't do your job properly you lose it. It's true. People are paying money for this, it's not about doing your best when you are selling a product. It's all about competing with the available alternatives. The problem with this in an eSports sense is that good games can happen even when everything else is terrible. I feel that the NASL has been coasting on the fact that despite being lacklustre in every other way, the games have been decent, and some of them have actually been quite good. | ||
