Same drill as usual: - No caster bashing.
- Excessive tournament bashing that detracts from game discussion will be met with moderator action. Criticism is welcome, whining is not.
- In general do your best to stay on topic and discuss what we're all here for: the games.
Enjoy the games guys. |

It's probably to do with one of those being an EU qualifier with a first place prize of $10k while the other is a major international tournament with a first place prize of $40k lol.

So a bigger prize pool, and no koreans (which NASL had no control over) should be shunned harder?

Awww. Demuslim versus Thorzain at a time when hardly anyone from Sweden or the UK will be able to watch. Sad times, but looking forward to the tournament
Yeah =(
I think they could've put the Europeans earlier in the schedule

You know the old saying. Save the best players for last.
|
crazy matchups, really looking forward to those
|
Not the most impressive card...
|
First major Sc2 tourney I wont be watching at all. I don't see why MLG and IPL can have schedules that don't totally fuck over EU viewers.
|
Well EU tournaments are hardly ideal for NA's; not west coast at least.
|
Pretty amazing lineup.
Haven't been able to watch as much NASL this year, because of school, but I am looking forward to the finals.
|
Some great games. I think Puma is going to win this. Soon 2 times NASL champion.

No but at least they try, see DH starting at 9am.
NASL just hasn't bothered?

I saw plenty of people say similar things before the latest dreamhack. I fail to see how this is a NASL issue.
I also fail to understand why you are getting so upset. It was basically a sentiment of "Oh well it's not the best lineup but it might be good anyways." It's not really rage worthy.

Ret/ThorZain/NaNiWa/DIMAGA are like 3 levels above TT1/HwangSin/HasuObs/DeMusliM. So the EU BNet Invite had a way better playerpool than this tourney.
|
One thing I hope they learned this time around is not to have that god awfully long season review of each player at the start of every series -_-
Not only was it annoying but also kind of sad to see all that and then have one of the players swiftly get 2-0'd....

no, it's probably because a bigger prize pool invokes higher expectations.

I haven't watched the normal season at all but I will be checking this out, great player pool despite their being no Koreans. I also like the start time as a European as I have time to get home from work and changed. 2AM on Sunday is a little late but I have plenty of Holiday to use before January Though I do wish Idra and DeMuslim were earlier  Tonight, its not horrific.
|
What quality is the free stream? If it's like during the season it is gg for me.

Why are you overreacting? I said the same about many other tourneys and i didn't enjoy the early stages of dreamhack due to the sloppy games.

It's just a bit unfortunate, that's all. They are starting at a fairly decent time, but doing HoN at the best time for Europe to watch. Will be good to see Hero and Huk though, so all is not lost!

I don't mind the times personally - because I lack a life presently and can sit up and watch.
What I dislike though is that their VODs need a season ticket. Such a scumbag move to europeans, who are a big part of the viewerbase.
