Yeah, not the biggest fan of the name, but oh well. When all is said and done it's a trivial issue.


If the North American BNet ladder was dominated by Koreans would you not want to call it the NA ladder anymore?

Yes. Exactly. It's really ridiculous. I do agree players from other continents should participate, but the imbalance here is just too wide.


That's coz NA players suck in general. I don't know why, to be honest. Maybe it's some NA-EU mentality?

You want region balance? Thats just absurd. I want the best games possible. NA players need to step it up and EARN their spots.

less infrastructure is what it boils down to imo. Pro gaming is accepted more in Korea and Europe and is developed better. NA is just behind. I think NA's top players are just as good as EU's top players, but their are just fewer of them.

GSL still calls itself GSL.


THIS. How many foreigners are in the GSL now? Huk, Sheth, Jinro.....?

Seriously, who cares what the name is? Fact is, we get to see great players and awesome starcraft games broadcast at prime time in NA.

Does anyone know if DRG played in the qualifier? He is the Korean that I most want to see in foreigner tournaments but he doesn't seem to be in any, I hope that changes quick, I love DRG.

Did sixjaxMajor try and qualify for this and fail? Or did he just not try to qualify? He'd be a decent addition, and he's also technically from North America. Not sure if he has the chops, but that MLG run of his wasn't half bad.

They invited a lot of foreign and North American players for the first season, however all the open qualifier were dominated by Koreans and only one Korean fell out of the original invited players. I'm completely opposed to the NASL limiting the number of players that are able to earn their way into the league so there's really nothing to be done apart from North Americans stepping up and competing.

He fell one round shy of qualifying I believe. I think he lost to Puma actually. Either Puma or aLive

He lost to TSL(?)Heart 1-2 in RO32, who then lost to Rain who qualified.

Its just the name. NASL said from the beginning they want to have the best players.

Sad that Naniwa left. But besides that, the lineup looks incredible. The real "Global" star league.

If there was a North American-only tournament, you wouldn't have as many viewers and payers.

How many seasons do you think it will be before they need to figure out some new rule that limits the number of koreans? One korean (Rainbow) was cut while 15 foreigners were cut and replaced with 9 koreans and 4 foriegners.


(those numbers might be a bit off as I did the math in my head and counted Rain as a korean)

Do you have a link to a Xeris post along these lines?

As far as I can tell no one is replacing Naniwa, that way they can cut down to 45 players as opposed to 46 if he was replaced.

Why is this called the North American Star League when North America is the least represented of the 3 major starcraft groups.
