But I'd like to also point out that several of them have won the "map of the month" award and are quite solid. this is not a good enough excuse. there's an incentive's for players in the season to play/practice on those. for us in the qualifier its plain out non sense | ||

In fact you'll have an advantage over current NASL players if you qualify since you'll have already practiced on them | ||

I clearly would sign up to both of those if xeris wasn't crazy with the new maps and yea i would put my time and money on the line. I know it's cool be a hipster and want new maps but if you add a fuck ton of new maps it's really hard for the competitors, if u add a few maps then it's less agressive/ alot better | ||

So you're annoyed that the few tournaments that Xeris facilitates (of the hundreds that exist) don't cater to what you want. I see it more as a fun tournament that allows those who failed to qualify (or didn't participate) for S2 another chance at making it in while also having great potential in its prizes, especially since you can qualify for S3 through this. | ||

Are they able to learn the map pool quick enough? Or is their skill set solely based on rote memorization from a million games played on xel'naga caverns? Definitely not a bad thing. Definitely not a need for name-calling or toeing the line between being an asshole and a contrarian. | ||

It would be so much easier to learn them quickly if blizzard let NASL (and other big tournaments) create a NASL map pool with matchmaking based on skill that you could play on instead of the blizzard map pool. Put a map pool selector under race on the front page and enough people should play on it that you could always find a match. | ||

I wonder if NASL should drop the 10$ charge so they can get more people willing to give the maps a shot and get more data on them.

The buy in is in place so that only people who are serious about competing will do it. If that means we'll have a 16 player tournament for 8 qualifying spots, I'd rather have that than have 100 people sign up and only 30 actually show. | ||
