With a $100,000 prize pool in Season 1 and only SC2....

imagine how high the prize pool will be for HoN! now that it has been added!
http://www.nasl.tv/News/Article/2011-07-14-nasl-and-hon-to-cooperate

i wonder if the HoN prize pool for season 2 will be higher than the
SC2 Season 2 prize pool of $100,000?

this should be the greatest thing since the joystick was invented!

The North American Star League, featuring 10 North Americans and 35 others. NOt that Im complaining, I expect some high quality games, less lulzy ones, but I still find this entertaining. I dunno what other NAs I'd put in though.

You're out of your mind if you think the prize pool for HoN will be larger than the prize pool for SC2.

Also, it's apparently being added as a promotional title, so it's likely to be fairly small.

Ugh, a lot of disappointment there actually. Sad to see Boxer and ThorZain not participating especially.

Glad MKP and Poltimus are in tho.

Hopefully Naniwa, or ThorZain will try to make it through the open bracket this season, that'd be pretty hilarious actually.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Poor vines he's the only one who made top 8 in the qualifier that didn't get to play. Especially after Jinro said this during the finals.

Its too late =,=~ I think Vines was trying to watch it (he always watches foreign events =O!) but gave up when the delays happened.


Why so mean to your fans NASL?

I also just found this: http://nasl.tv/News/Article/2011-07-24-season-2-group-selection-process
They are having a selection show for groups. The top four players and Ret will get to pick two players each to be in their groups.

That's too bad, but probably because he not a big name player like some others, still, if he is a good player he will qualify next season, gl vines.

Is there a high level tournament which does not include koreans, but includes all the 'big' names outside of korea? Is that the IPL?


For now, yes. The IPL is a NA/EU/SA tournament primarily, though they do have plans to expand to other regions.

I think to maintain itself as a global star league, NASL needs to have a quota for each region. Otherwise, if one region has better players than every other region, than that region is simply going to eventually replace the other regions with the format NASL is running with, and then it's no longer a global star league except in the qualifiers.

In the Olympics and other international sports competitions, each country gets to send a number of representatives. A single country does not get to send all their players, even if said players are better than the players from every other country in that sport. I think NASL needs to adopt a format like this if it wants to remain a global star league.

If, however, the point is simply to get the best players in the world to come to NA for the finals, then it doesn't matter.

In that case, however, I would hope that NASL would allow players outside of NA to play in their own region when they're playing another player from the same region, which would make for less laggy games.


Well if you look at Olympic hockey, you can draw some comparisons. It's not like Korea is sending all of it's starcraft players, just a bunch sign up and they are the best so they win. It's similar to Canada sending a bunch of really REALLY good hockey players to play for their olympic team because we have a very deep player base, and yeah, our olympic hockey team is normally pretty fucking amazing. But other countries are absolutely competitive, to say the least. USA and Russia are our main competition but slowly but surely we're seeing other countries becoming competitive. Especially Scandinavia, the Swedes and Fins are finally getting quite close to our skill level. (With Finland beating Slovakia I believe for third place last Olympics, though I forget who their women's team beat).



Put that in starcraft terms: I think it's fine that the country with the best players is the country most represented in a league. As long as NASL stays on home soil then it's still the NORTH AMERICAN star league, just like how the national hockey league includes players from all over the world. As long as the NASL is on home soil it also means we'll have players to cheer for, to rise against the ranks of foreign oppression! And I think that's awesome.



I like your analogy! But, as a swede, I have to put in a protest. :-) Canada hasn't been dominating the Olympic hockey since the 1950s - swedish success has since that time been very similar. This is very surprising though, as Canada clearly is the dominating hockey nation in the world.

Personnaly I definitely want tournaments with the best players (well, Koreans), but I also want to be able to cheer for local talents, swedes or europeans.

It's because, until 1998, the NHL didn't allow it's players to participate in the olympics (they wouldn't stop the season just for the olympics). And yes, while I realize nowadays the best players from every country are playing in the NHL (so it wouldn't matter if that rule existed now), back in the 70s/80s etc. the NHL was pretty much just Canadian/American. Really hurt Canada's chances of winning anything at the olympics/internationally.


Precisely my point, we all want to see the best players in the world, and with time those players will come from everywhere, rules that limit which players can participate only slow down the process of everyone reaching the same level.

PS Agreed Swedes are awesome in hockey... Just wish those darn Sedins had been a bit more useful those last few games of the Stanley cup.

Yes, because being hosted on the NA server, having their studio in America, and having their finals in America, it certainly is a misnomer. Also while I'm here, I'd like to congratulate on creating such an original and poignant comment.

Because this thread is about the NASL Season 2, does anyone happen to know when it is scheduled to begin? Personally, I can't wait to watch the group stages again.
