So how does the seeding from the pool play results work? I know the top player from each division automatically qualify; after that what are the cut-off's for tournament final qualification, eliminated but return next season and relegated?
Apologies if it's been asked before but I did try and look it up and couldn't find anything.

Heh it's been asked dozens of times. Maybe if we ask a few dozen more times we'll get an answer!

Honestly I think NightEnd will be crushed by Stephano. I personally don't like Stephano too much but NightEnd...is not too great, and Stephano is very very good at the same time. Barring a walkover, I don't see this particular series ending in a NightEnd win :/
TT1 vs Puma should be interesting, I only really follow one or two of the NASL groups so I didn't realize TT1 had been doing so well :o Puma probably has this though lolol
I am pleased how NASL are constantly trying to improve. Something I feel they could add in the future is the Picture In Picture feature to their casts. Being able to see the main battle plus also see a drop happening certainly adds to the viewer experience. Other tournaments use it and NASL could make use of it to great effect as well.

I've not seen it. I have not seen every night's games. If they do have it already then great.
-Division winners advance -3/5 second places advance -Ranks 9-22 + 2 open bracket players playoff for the rest of the spots -Of the rest, 11 stay, 12 are eliminated from the league -12 spots in the next season qualifier, plus 4 from the one happening now.

I think, he went pretty fast.
A little bit of a clarification. Top 4 from the Open going on right now and Top 8 from the NSQ (Next Season Qualifier) Qualify for Season 4. 12 total through both tournaments.

Nightend pushing out with 2 colossi, 3 immortals, 6ish sentries and a bunch of stalkers!! Nightend's tech could be progressing a bit up though and he lost quite a bit :x I want to see him take just one game off Stephano, keep things competitive.
Stephano's moving into lategame, upgrades for BLs done and like 7 BLs out already with a bank, both players are maxed but Nightend isn't really doing anything in terms of tech, ouchies stephano gets into Nightend's nat and 3rd with ling runbys :x
At 21 minutes Stephano has 5 bases to Nightend's 3, also has a 6k min 1.5k gas bank :O
Nightend is just massing stalkers and it looks like a pretty bad comp against Stephano's hardcore lategame infestors BLs etc, and then Stephano rolls Nightend with that one big engagement lol
BratOK keeps taking a lot of time to siege up his Tanks against incoming Ultra armies. I could understand that if he was targetting down Banes/Infestors/Roaches, but they're just shooting Ultras. So my potentially ignorant question is, since Ultras largely negate splash, are already close enough to negate range, and the Tanks do greater single-target dps unsieged (and can be micro'd a little), isn't he better off leaving them unsieged?

What you said about them saying the whole cast about Haypro's play being so smart, I don't know what you were watching. They were talking about his bad economy, bad creep spread, how he was behind from the all-in, etc.

normally you target down the infestors with the tanks.
however, bratok kept getting caught with tanks unsieged at the front of his army, and haypro's infestors were always quite far back, which meant that either there were no tanks left to shoot the infestors, or no infestors to shoot anyway.

We are trying not to be insulting. What can you say when the announcers are literally saying the reverse of what is happening?
I don't know how to reply. Do you?
I wonder if the audience that watches NASL is somehow not that into TL... interesting eh?
how does being into TL change the announcers saying the opposite of what is happening game after game?
Im curious because I would totally like to be less into TL if it upped my appreciation of opposite-casting. It could really increase my appreciation of these matches.
Dear NASL, y u no upload Haypro-BratOK game three?
I can only advise everyone to keep their hands off a NASL subscription. The free stream is nice, but everything that comes with a subscription is a total mess. e-mail verification link opens up a server error, "spoiler-free" version isn't, vods stutter or are missing, e-mails to customer support asking for help are ignored. I still like the show, but I liked the whole of NASL a lot better before I subscribed.

In my experience I can confirm the email part. I emailed them several times without answer. However, I have no other problems and will be paying next season.

It's just strange how the whole free stream and also the free youtube channel are absolutely fine but when you pay the trouble starts ... found several broken vods and links pointing nowhere in the vod archives. Another thing is, when I want to login, the login window just turns white and nothing else happens. That's one of the issues I mailed them about, because it doesn't show login status anywhere and I thought (and told them) I couldn't log in. After a while I found out that the only way to find out whether I'm logged in is to start a newer vod. Not a biggie after all, but I mean, with such a big price pool, the ads for subscription and all ... how is it possible that no one cares about the web site?
(BratOK-Haypro game three still not up btw. ... regrettable because I paid not to get hd or sunday showdowns but for instant access.)
