Damnit, anyone else recorded it or know someway I could view it without paying 25bucks? Did you see the youtube link I gave? There's also a mp3 download link in the video description. It's not the performance at the NASL but the audio is better (and the chorus sounds better). edit: I'll update if I find a video somewhere, but you might want to watch Temp0's youtube account since he might upload it himself. | ||

I think going through the open bracket is also a risk. You have a small timeframe to perform and you could have utterly amazing competition due to the prize pool. If Puma applied (did he?) would the NASL have invited him? Would we have not see Puma vs MC? I think that would been a worse outcome. | ||

Maybe if someone could enlighten us on the nature of open bracket play, we might better appreciate Puma's win. | ||

I can understand, however, that some people are annoyed (and were annoyed BEFORE Puma won, this isn't retroactive hate) that NASL decided to have a 3 month super tournament slug-fest, then invite 2 people to the FINALS who played for a day. Puma won fair and square, nobody's bashing him. As tournament viewers we want to see the person who's CONSISTENTLY best take the win. It feels odd having Puma take the win with so many fewer games played/won than the people who played in the league (and helped generate the revenue for the tournament) for 9 weeks of games. So True. It seems that it would have been more efficient to go through the Open then the invitationals. That needs a looking at. | ||

then, after 8 weeks you have 8 people qualified by winning and possibly 8-12 people qualified by constantly placing in top4. people based on their 1-4 finishes in the tournament could also qualify by placing high in several of the mini tournaments. and if someone is 125% qualified (by say placing top4 in one tournament then winning another) their extra 25% transfers over to the next season. but someone who is 100% qualified for that seasons finals may not play in any mini tournaments then by finals time people who only have a percentage of qualification for the finals play in a playoffs where all those players are seeded into brackets based on how much % they have (so try to make fair brackets) and then the playoffs could be done in many different ways. maybe have a single triple elimination tournament where the top8 qualify or maybe have two double elimination tournaments where the top4 of each qualify. either way make it so if you qualify through the playoffs you lose all % you currently have but you gain qualification ot that seasons finals. and people who fail the playoffs get to keep their % and if they diligently keep trying they can hopefully use that % to increase their chances of qualifying next season with this system you would have say 24 or so players that show up to the finals. and then the brackets can be formed so the highest seeders get to have brackets in the main tournament with a free first win in it. but how will high seeds be determined because theres no real games to seed people. Id say possibly allow each player to make a list of the top 4 opponents they would like to play first (from first mist desired, to second most desired) and the players picked the most are the weakest, the players picked the least are the strongest. and then the brackets for a double-elimination tournament can be decided somehow by that information then if you do this you can just remove the groups but every week we would still get to have a epic grand finals of a tournament and the games would probably have more of a important feel to it | ||

Well it was obviously a lot harder to go through the open bracket and only 1 could do it. The players who lost in the ro16 had a lot higher chance getting through their divisions than winning the open tournament. For the best player in the world it might have been easier but don't fool yourself and think that all the players that got to the finals would have got there if they weren't invited to league play from the beginning. | ||

GG Puma and MC Just goes to show that they shouldn't have relied on invites from the beginning. Just imagine how great the games would have been if all the players came from a qualifier. It would be like GSL only in America! :D | ||

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. Right now the Poll is at roughly 3.2 points for NASL finals ^^ Well, as Hot Bid said, as long as the tournament finishes without a major disaster all this smaller stuff can be forgotten pretty easily | ||
