Noooo europeans, dont leave me alone! Pull an all nighter and we can watch GSL finals together too!!! I´m with you! Or maybe I will fall asleep at some point, no way of telling right now. Each game brings new motivation to stay up though.  | ||

I don't think anyone is complaining... just curious as to what went wrong. It is pretty clear from the massive amount of empty chairs that things are not going according to plan. | ||

At least you'd be able to satisfy the sponsors, hopefully sell some concessions/merchandise, etc. Honestly, I think the problem, with NASL as a whole may simply be a lack of business acumen. For example, PR 101 is that when you're trying to promote something you make sure that the venue/arrangements are too small/little for the crowd you expect. You do the same thing in politics: when you're on the campaign trail, every stop should be a little too small to actually support the event. That way you create the perception of being more popular than you are. Of course, this is just one item, and certainly I can't imagine the NASL folks expected anything like this small a turnout. That said, everybody knows they're trying to really "save" NASL and to demonstrate that it should exist. It seems like even once they knew this wasn't going well they just decided to carry on and hope for the best without attempting to do anything. I think my point is just that even in bad circumstances, there are things to be done which more seasoned business minded folks would keep in mind, and this may be a manifestation of a generally poor business sense which is mucking the whole operation up. | ||

A shame they don't have anything planned to fill the dead air (Like a caster couch, since they have 11 casters there, or maybe some charades?). | ||

How do you guys think Geoff (incontrol) will try to save face during then next SOTG? Can't wait for his lobbyism about how this was exactly what NASL needed to not die during Season 3. And no I am not NASL hating here, I paid for Season 1, I just find it sad that they are obviously not listening to the fans and it's evidently showing EDIT: yay it's on, go Thorzain | ||
