Notable Players All of them! Here're a select few TLPD had pictures of:
Unfortunately, all of FXO did not show up. All players facing FXO opponents received walkover wins. We have no information as to why at this moment, sorry.
... and are many more! (Check out the full bracket for the full list!)
Announced Season 3 Format Changes
- LIVE Format (broadcasting live in studio) - Every match has money on the line (think of it like mini-showmatches every week) - Player travel expenses will be paid in FULL for the Live Grand Finals
...and more to come!

Also, are the games being played before the 16th then cast from replays? Cause that's a long time for the players to wait if not.
Some players didn't have pictures on TLPD (Artist specifically does not), that's why you may not see all of them.
Also note the disclaimer at the bottom of the OP.
As far as your question about how it will be broadcasted. It will be treated like the NASTL Open in that some games will be live and some will be via replays as the results come in.
I really look forward to this, while NASL has admittedly had their issues, I really do support all of the effort they're making to have a successful tournament, and wish them all the best in this endeavor. Hope to see Sase and Zenio do well! :D
Correction: Combatez is SlayersPuzzle's account. Puzzle was unsure about playing, so Boxer was going to use his account. This morning, Puzzle said he wanted to play (so he's playing on Combatez).
Boxer is using the ID Kaiser , and he replaced Gosi[Terran] in the bracket, who didn't show up.

So he's out already? Bracket says GosiTerran lost.
Excuse me if this had been asked before, but why does Socke play this qualifier? Wasn't he already qualified for Season 3 for getting into the Playoffs of Season 2?

He wasn´t in the playoffs, but he wasn´t eliminated either. Guys like Tyler, Vibe, Lowely and TLO had less points than Socke, but seem to be still in the league. Can you clarify, Xeris? I am sure, there is a good reason, but it looks a bit weird right now.

I meant the pre-final playoffs, but question is still the same.
Nice, I really want to see Moon in season 3, I hope he can take this. Kawaii is definately one of the strongest players in his quadrant of the bracket, if Moon take him down he'll probably qualify.

My problem is him keeping making mutas :/
Yeah, he should've made infestor switch a long time ago. I'd definately help him against those high marine numbers and they wouldnt be able to outmicro his ultras.
Glad to see Slayers showing interest in the NASL again, but I wonder what happend that they changed their mind from when they retracted from the tournament after the first season.
That was a pretty nice series. Some notable mistakes from both players, but still entertaining to watch. I can't believe GanZi held JYPs push in to his natural when he dropped half his army in JYPs main. Good thing he landed those vikings, they actually did better than I thought.
I think they should rename Artosis pylons to "JYP Pylons".

BoxeR was the only SlayerS member in the NASL 1, and basically all of the Koreans that weren't on foreign teams left the NASL.
It was an honor to cast some games during the day, I would like to thank Theognis, Heart, Alkresh, BabyKnight, Sleep, and Aku for letting me cast their games! :D
Grubbys becoming so good. No player is more deserving of success than grubby <3. I love watching his stream, he has such a great, well mannered personality.
Man Artist is losing units left and right. I don't like this opening at all :S
edit: hmm, looks like he has a pretty scary 1/1/1 coming now. I turn away for 2 minutes and Artist is up in supply now. edit2: nvm, terrible engagement for Artist. He got destroyed by those forcefields lol

That's so funny, reminds me of the korean who greeted Idra with "rehi Ez-man" after he had beat him before on his stream last week..
Cella plays on the CombatEz account a lot on his stream... It's one of his many smurf accounts, hahahaha. A lot of Slayers players seem to play on Cella's smurf accounts in qualifiers held on EU/NA servers ^^
Heart played pretty sloppy that game. He had the middle practically the whole game and still allows Polt to take expos beyond his 3rd. That expo in the bottom left main managed the mine out, and the only pressure put on was a few marines and a nuke (that killed 1 SCV).

Polt is apparently really sick from the last few days. He played awful last night in the GSTL as well.

Hey everyone! As I said earlier in the chat, I was honored to have casted some games for this great tournament! And now, all the games are up on my youtube page as a playlist!
If you want a really good game, game one between QxGTheognis and Heart is right here! It went to a part 2 as well.
looks like we gonna see some interesting matchups like ToD (if he beats Alicia) vs Ryung,, aLive vs Puzzle, Grubby (if he takes down Zenio) vs Stephano and Polt vs GanZi !
rooting for the fnatic boys ofc. gogo ToD you can do it ! :D

thanks for the summary. this qualifier is ridiculously stacked, can't believe that only 3 people will qualify for the NASL. I predict that whichever player come out of this qualifier, they will dominate the upcoming season.

8 people qualify, not 3. Hence why I put 8 spots there.

3 people qualify? I thought it was 8, with top 4 winning money.

Boxer didn't play, that's Major/Terran/Windy/whateverhescallednow with an account called Boxer.
Yes, top eight qualify according the OP.
I'd say Polt, Ganzi, Ryung, ?, Stephano, Zenio, aLive and Puzzle will take the spots, that would be a pretty big improvement in terms of quality compared to last season.
GL to all the player remaining in the tournament, upsets would be great, too.

No, it was Boxer according to Xeris a few pages back.
Just looking back at some of the Ro128 matches... Insanely tough competition. Crazy thing is, I'm willing to bet that exactly 0 of the players who qualify here are going to be "out" next season. Is NASL the new GSL in terms of not having sufficient turnover season to season?
minigun 2-0 over leenock. amazing. when i think of the most talented players in the world, Chad Motherfucking Jones is one of the first names that comes to my mind. no RTS experience whatsoever, and in a few months he was number one on the NA server. not to mention the fact that he can play all three races at a high GM level. there may be better players out there, but I don't know of any with as much potential

Now, now minigun is awesome but his win over leenock was a walkover. And let's not grossly overhype him either now. Ladder ranking is nice but in the end it is all about tournament performance.

You can't know that. The score is displayed as 0-2 on that bracket even if a player forfeited it. FXO players are not the only ones who gave walkovers, but certain players aren't important enough to be mentioned in OP.
