Thats a really bad argument. Let the best casters cast. I frankly do not watch gret or inc cast.

I feel quite regretful because I've just kept the stream open most of the weekend despite barely watching any of it and I'd hate to think I'm inadvertently registering my approval for what has been a horribly disorganized mess.
Yep, unfortunately everyone leaving the stream open and not watching it has helped them gain ad revenue.
Someone should probably report to Justin.tv's advertisers that they are being defrauded. Advertisers are paying for views, not idle tabs nobody is watching. Most ad networks explicitly forbid this type of behaviour.
This is no different than someone having their TV on when they're not in the room. Don't be silly.

I agree with this ^^
But, with Tastosis and Day[9] both present, I feel like seeing INcontorp in the finals is pretty unlikely.
No, it's more like faking ad views on a website. Go read the terms of any ad network like google adsense.
Do you think advertisers pay for fake views? They want people to actually see the ad.
Tasteless are the best casting team. They should do the finals, otherwise it was pointless to bring them to NASL since they've barely done any casting.

why?
He's only listing MC and July. Wheres PuMa and especially Sen? Im not voting for either of those 2 players and I certainly do care.
what? he has puma and MC in the poll.you know the people in the finals.
oops re-read the op. didnt realize that that were entering the grand finals and 3rd place match. the OP's for all 3 days have been updated really late or not at all.
Gretorp/Incontrol (or Day9 instead of Gretorp) should do the 3rd place. Tastosis do the finals.
Tastosis know Puma/MC way better than the other three do since, you know, they actually cast them every day in the GSL. It's not who is better, but who knows the players better.
If the final was Sen/Darkforce, then the foreign casters should cast it. Just my two cents.

There are big companies that do much worse sneaky stuff to fake views. Fact
Now that I think of it, there is really nothing that NASL is doing wrong, people leave their stream open when not watching, is that really NASLs fault and is there anything they could do about it?
