I finally saw the crowd.. I think there were 6-7 people in the seats right in front? I feel so bad for everyone, players, staff, casters.. feelsbadman.
I can't stop laughing at the comments though, so mean but jesus it's funny.

Hopefully more people will come along as the day passes, the venue looks sick! And I really like the whole red carpet thingi, tho there should be a lot of journalists/and or hot chicks there.. not like five guys... And the intro songs should be more hyping :D

Are you serious? Actually, this is exactly our point. They have SUCH great competitors and SUCH great potential, but to have such terrible production... a COMPLETELY avoidable and CONTROLLABLE factor... that's so disappointing. Tournaments sometimes suck because the games don't turn out to be good, or maybe the competitors weren't that great, but in this case, they have some really great potential. NASL ruins this with controllable factors: production value. That is really weak.
In other words, the tournament DOES have potential to be great. The GAMES may be great. But NASL as a company/production crew will have NOTHING to say about that--they didn't contribute to how great the tournament may turn out. If anything, they tried to get in the way and make the tournament worse. It makes no sense.
