Take solace in the fact he has 25,000$. He won't be coming to any foreign events for a while as he's won / placed in enough and he feels being away from Korea is detrimental to his play.

Only NASL is capable of turning one of the most epic grand finals series into the most awkward exit ever.

Does anyone know if there will be a way to watch VODS of the finals weekend without buying the full 25 dollar (I think) season pass? I have zero interest in watching the regular season but it seems like there were some good games this weekend.


wasn't there an offer of 10$ for the final weekend or something?


It cost me 10 dollars when I bought it this weekend. The link says 25 dollars, but the checkout page says 10.

While there are a LOT of things to improve, the quality of the games and the casters really saved the event.
The finals were sick.

Good evening everyone! Had a complete blast here.

To sum up:

Good enough 3rd-4th place match, over the standard for a ZvZ in my opinion.
A somewhat long time between both matches but we, the stream watchers could just go game for an hour so not that much of a problem.
Incredible Final matches, with an almost succesful reverse all-kill.
Awesome manner by MC and awkward interview by anna.
Day9 with standard hypeful closing.
Anna and Temp0 with the 'But wait, there's more!' Moment.

Most mistakes were fixed, which encourages me to finally buy the season hd pass for season 2.

The matching system was changed so that an open tournament winner won't win the whole thing like this, which means that all players will have to put the same amount of effort.

4/5 overall in my opinion. I like the protoss BW music as a closer.

I think puma has some vitilaigo on his face, im assuming that's what he meant by getting skincare.

For those of you that don't know its what Michael Jackson had (and what eventually made him decide to bleach his skin)

Anyway, great finals. The production of this NASL was really terrible but the games played truly made up for it! I don't think i've ever seen a series where I wanted both players do win.

Is there anywhere you can rewatch the Final matches at? I want to see Puma's opening games again.

Much appreciated.

Where did he say he's won enough and won't come back because he loses practice?

Don't how to really vote on this. I want to be critical on the production but the players and the games made this game unbelievable.

Then rate the production value of them. The games WEREN'T from NASL, they were from the players. But NASL made this all happen. I'd go with 2, on second thought, I'd go with 3. so 2.5

I think that's harsh. Overall it was a really good event, but there were a lot of little mistakes and a lot of them, although little, were very noticeable. With a more experienced person doing production, some better observing and some better camera work it would have been greatly improved.

Problems like the open bracket winner being so strong will also get better as time goes on, its sort of like how code s players got destroyed in the up/down matches earlier on. As the seasons go on the players in the groups will get better and the competition in the finals will get even better.

I think double elimination would be better too, it might have justified bringing over Tastosis. For sure they were good, but I don't think they casted enough to warrant the 16 hour flight, and it would have been wrong to leave out Gretorp and inControl.

Overall it was a good event, and I enjoyed the final cast by Gretorp and inControl, its amazing to think how much they've improved from the first week of the NASL.

Just subscribed for S2. F*ck it €14,40 for the live event only is worth it for me. I'm sure they will learn from some (read lots ) of mistakes they made in S1.

To summarize: NASL had amazing players (because of the huge prizepool) everything outside of that was pretty bad. You got a lot to work on, ask Sundance how to do a 180.

To sum up:

Early rounds mostly onesided, huge delays, lots of sound problems, player introduction way too long, breaks way too long.

Epic semi-finals and finalsgames kind of made up for those very annyoing early rounds and problems. All caster-combinations were also enjoyable in my opinion.
