Please tell me there will be more than two different maps today please. I want to see some bigger maps to vary up the gameplay more.

Also, really hoping that the ro8 will be BO5s, there is easily enough time surely?

I left after the hour break, needed to do some stuff. First off I am really happy that Sen advanced, easily my favorite player here Sen fighting !

Second of all, I am really surprised Darkforce managed to beat aLive, props to him.

Finally, BoxeR and WhiteRa lost


Really hoping NASL step up their game for today, can't wait to til it starts

I hope Moon will make it to the semifinals. I don't see him beating MC (pretty good chance he'll get there) at the moment however, as much as he keeps improving.

Was't that some game series about Germany vs Sweden?
But yeah, Take does make incredibly awesome tournaments.
Don't mind the relatively small prize pool,
it has such a great atmosphere and I think most players enjoyed it.
Thank god Huk won the whole thing,
else he wouldn't be that happy with what he lost in black jack/poker.
And considering how much MC won in poker
(despite never having played it before, according to him)
the whole trip might've been financially viable. :-)


What did they win in poker/blackjack?

This thread has to have the highest whine per post ratio I've ever seen, geez. You'd think people would get tired of complaining at some point.

Someone did not see any of the MLG's -- minus the last one. Calm down son, I know you don't like NASL and they certainly need to fine tune some of their stuff, but let's not go overboard.

The darkforce series was phenomenal, easily one of the most invested and entertaining series I've seen in awhile. You can say that the play was somewhat sloppy, particularly one Alive's part but that doesn't mean that the games weren't enjoyable.

I have to agree with the people complaining about the production value, it's unacceptable. Look, I want NASL to succeed. It would be a huge boom to NA e-sports and it would further bring e-sports and starcraft 2 into the mainstream. The issue is that if they have poor production values, people aren't going to want to watch and if people don't watch then sponsors aren't going want to invest. The fact that the interviews are extremely awkward and there are constant sound issues can't really excite sponsors either. How can you trust NASL to endorse your product when they can't even do things that are taken for granted at other events correctly? Look at an event like the homestory cup, I don't really remember any big production gaffes with that and I doubt they broke the bank making that happen. If a tournament with like 1/10th the prize pool that's run out of a guy's apartment can do it how can NASL not?

Having 3 maps for all the series is the most retarded rule I've ever seen.

There is 100 000$ on the line, this is single elimination and you force players to play on maps that might not like at all?

Let players veto a map at least and mix up the maps, seeing xelnaga and crossfire all the time wasn't that awesome.I didn't watch the whole thing, but it got boring.

I dunno never really got into NASL, but hoped the finals would be fun to watch at least, but from what I saw they epic failed at best.

To what end? What would they say? "This is our first event and we're not that great at this stuff yet, sorry." Would that really make anyone feel any better?

When MLG apologized its because they had higher expectations for themselves. I don't think NASL has the same problem. They are just trying to make it through the event.

To be honest just an assurance that they're aware of the problems, acknowledging them, and how they're going to fix it for day 2 or season 2 would probably ease up the populace a lot better.

I dunno, I woke up expecting to see a statement and thinking "if they're aware of it and they make everything better, all will be forgotten". We'll still see.

In some ways I think...

A: people only post on internet forums to complain.
B: Moderation has been strangely lacking from this thread to prevent trolls

Thus the trolls are out in force in this thread.

I think Geoff said they were going to be the premier, best North american league, so people got their hopes up. I hope they'll make darkforce's games available to watch
