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

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

Note: Moonglade, Tyler and/or Rainbow may replace Naniwa, TLO and/or Stalife if any of them decide not to partcipate in Season 2.

Edit: Stalife confirmed his withdrawal below ---->

2nd Edit: NVM apparently none of these players will serve as replacements, Season 2 only has 45 players and the runners up in the open qualifier are the standbys...

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

I hope they do a GSL type style for the groups next season, though change it up a bit for balance.

Start with Puma, he picks a player, maybe a foreigner or a P/Z for balance.
Then MC will pick a player, again, a foreigner or a T/Z.
Then Sen
Then July
Then one of DF, Select, Moon or Squirtle.

And get your groups that way.

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

Na man, team EU is almost as strong as team Korea this time around I think. Team Korea only has three players I would consider to be top koreans: MC, MKP, and Puma (and Puma's legitimacy is still in question, but he certainly impressed me tonight). July is a close runner up of course.

While those three are the top who will be difficult to beat, team EU has some truely stellar players, and Thorzain might actually be BETTER than even those three Koreans I just mentioned, after he trains up a bit in korea... It's gonna be exciting.

So I wouldn't expect team EU to get cut down to a third...

Team NA though... yeah they have some SERIOUS work to do. We need HuK in this SO bad to rep NA. (And don't give me that "he's trained in korea nonsense, if he played in the NASL, he would be the iconic representation of North America, being both Canadian and American).


Edit: And yeah, as long as it's the highest level of play, I'm happy, but I REALLY hope the north americans start really kicking it into gear here. I hate having to cheer on Idra.

They have to divide the 45 players up some how. I didn't say random fucking players. Who is Maker?

Why are you withdrawing Stalife?

As cool as it is that Puma won his first major tournament today, I hope NASL considers removing the open tournament slot in the grand finals bracket of the coming seasons. If I'm not mistaken, the competitors of season 2 and on earn their spots through a qualifier, right? Then there should be no reason for anyone to complain about anyone making it to the finals because they'll have played through the entire league and earned their place. As skilled as Puma is, it feels a bit wrong in my heart that someone who didn't dedicate 9 weeks of group play to the tournament come in and swept the whole thing.

Again, I'm not saying Puma isn't skilled or that he didn't earn his place in the finals. He beat a whole host of amazing players in the open tournament and wiped out even bigger names in the grand finals to win it all. I'm just saying that perhaps there shouldn't be a slot for anyone to just play one day's worth of games to get in while the rest of the players had to play over a course of 9 or so weeks and ungodly hours.

I can't/don't want to make time for NASL anymore. Almost all of my matches were during my 2 hour "lunch breaks" from work. It's bad in every single level possible. Having to play my first game of the day (no warm up) against players like MC, Ret, Ace, Select, is not something I want... Not to mention I would not want a long drawn out games b/c I'm on my "lunch break". This results in showing bad results, sloppy games, which is not only bad for myself and my team, but also the viewers as well. I wanted to withdraw in the middle, but I decided to continue playing it out.

I bought the HD pass for season 1 and I'm sure I'll buy it for season 2 as well. NASL continues to improve a lot and after a great season 1 playoffs, I'm looking forward to season 2!

Good luck to season 2 players :D
