Can you guys get a real observer, I mean, I can see there's 1 obs and 2 casters joining the game, at least could use the 3rd person for some real obsing?

* Also, 30 minutes between matches! I am not used to the amount of time between games. I can now have a nap, brew some coffee...Hell, I can even squeeze in a quick ladder game.
* And, with the new shaky-cam technology they've implemented, I really feel like I'm in the arena, watching Gretorp and Incontrol stumble through jokes, and butcher commentary.
I understand the NASL has it's problems, but honestly, there are a lot of positives, like the things I've mentioned above. Chill GET out guys, it'll be a great weekend.

How original.
Honestly I don't see what's up with all the negative comments. Yeah it's not perfect but compare to the first MLG this year. The stream is up and running, games are on, there's previews and interviews and epic-like music and stuff.
Cheer up!
I for one have my baguette, my cheese, my mustard and a decent bottle of cotes du Rhone. Select fighting!!!
Congrats, it's slightly better than a tournament that essentially didn't even happen online. That's an accomplishment. /sarcasm
For the amount of money invested, there is NO EXCUSE for this. Tournaments with far less money in their budgets did exponentially better jobs. How can you even start to explain that?
No one wants to explain anything but what's the point of ruining another live report thread with this useless crap? Just don't watch, and please don't post these content free useless comments, they make me cringe far more than a delayed tournament.

This is why I'm still awake, this makes this topic worth it :D
The observer that's streaming the game isn't even doing anything, they're simply locked to one of the NASLCasters, NASLCasterA to be specific. You can see this before they put up the overlay, the camera is highlighted.
It's almost as if once the game starts, the observer opens the production tab, follows one of the other observers in the game, and then goes AFK.
