This whole bo3 and if you lose you go home format is just dumb. For example Ret fought like a champ for months, had the best score through the entire NASL and whooooooops after 15 mins, he was out and that was it.


I just look at it as any other sport. In baseball, basketball, football, or whatever else, there's a regular season and a post season. Once you get to the post season everyone starts from scratch and you play until there's no one else to beat. The NASL regular season format is for people who like scoreboard watching. And the post season is straight up bracket style.

How would you change the format? Double elimination?


It's more to do with the Koreans (e.g. BoxeR) coming all this way just for them to be out of the tournament in 20 minutes. It should be Bo5 tbh, not just for the fact that it would make it fairer, butalso that there would actually be more Starcraft content to watch instead of 30 minute intros and delays.

A losers bracket would suffice, I think this format is far too harsh

They way in which both Morrow and Hasuobs lost their games makes me ponder whether or not they threw the games in order to get out of this production nightmare.

Exuse me if I'm wrong, but the later games of HSC & DH was on the morning/afternoon right? Not in the middle of the night ^_^

I'm sure they came all the way to California, only to throw just so they can be comfortable....not.

No but Koreans have a way of making you look like you're throwing games. Everything comes faster and more aggressive. Nani speaks to this when he comments on sorry state of foreign scene.

Was thinking more in the way of their team/sponsers not wanting to be affiliated with the fiasco and therefore pulling their players out.

You just have to take credits away from Koreans. Morrow off-race was an insult to his opponent to begin with and he made a fool out of himself. Sure, they flew all the way here to make themselves looking dumb.

This entire tournament is nonsensical, but by far the most aggravating thing is the format. It is flat out horrible for boxer to have to play MC...yes, other players arguably got the shaft too, but this matchup is the standout, considering how July's ZvZ is not that great. They have so many days, yet they still can't go beyond single elimination...it's absurd. Check the new starleague format (groups of 4), that one is much better if you want to save time.

Pretty lame critique since bracket was based on seeding form day 1.

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images2/e/e0/NASLGraph.jpg


irrelevant, this is a tournament, not a league. if you want a league, then keep it a league, and let it stay as an online league, no biggie.

this tournament may be the culmination of a league, but in reality people who go all the way there can't be given two fucks if the league had been going on for years. they're there to watch people play good starcraft. MLG delivered. NASL does not. The end.
There is no such thing is "e-sports". There is Brood War, and then there is crap for nerds.

Select talks with a Korean accent, knows Korean, and obviously still is a citizen of Korea. Americans definitely do not identify themselves with Select based on appearance, they prefer Sheth.

While there is an ongoing argument about how Select should be considered in terms of Korean or foreigner; i would say there is a very strong argument for him to be considered very very very different to the Koreans in terms of SC2.

Anyway - WOW that is a lot of Koreans and a lot of 2:0 victories! I really was hoping Sheth's ZvP would get him through - but oh well

Some really good players around!

The fact that you actually engaged your brain and "pondered" and still came up with this terrible conclusion is pretty funny. They travelled a really long way and there is a ton of money on the line.
