I don't understand the complaints about trying to make it a spectacle.
This is the NASL. The North American Star League.
When I tune in I want smoking hot blondes walking around in high heels, I want massive ostentatious hype and overstatement, and I want it all cast by someone who looks like a burger man. At the end I want the winner to ride off on a monster truck holding a massive cheque.
And yeah I like to see the different tournaments taking a different approach, makes it interesting.
This is the best post in this thread

Not sure if trolling :/ Fighting games as in Street Fighter / Tekken kind of fighters. isnt tekken a casual playstation game? sorry i dont follow other genres
No, Tekken is an e-Sport and has been for quite a while. It's fine :p You would be surprised how many games actually have somewhat big tournaments. Halo / Quake / TF2 / Trackmania / Forza / Street Fighter / Tekken / DotA / LoL / BLC / Guitar Hero etc. If the game has a competative nature to it, then there will be tournaments for it. If you played with your friends in a fighting game, then there will be people who take it way further. The biggest fighting games atm are : Super Street Fighter 4 / Marvel vs Capcom 3 / Tekken / King of Fighters 13 / Soul Calibur 5

Incontrol's casting is fine until he thinks he needs to be excited, then it becomes really weird and awkward.
Ret hugely ahead, but he's been known to lose unlosable games in the past.

just saw naniwas twitter, lol did incontrol really say huk prepared a special build for entombed when he hasnt played his game yet?

He had an overseer right on top of it and saw it getting cancelled as well.
|
results so far? LR is not updated and I can't find any scores on NASL page T_T;
|
Why would Ret make Infestors before PG? Was it panic?
|
Watching Stephanos army control and then coming into a Ret game.....

I think that nexus cancel is weird. 300 minerals at this point of the game, is it really such a big deal? But that time you have about 1500 mineral income per min. So 300 minerals is equal to 12 sec minnig. Is not 12 sec of mining worth to have an extra life in case the attack fail?
If he had not canceled the nexus he would be much closer to even now.

Who knows? Maybe HuK does have a special build for Entombed, InControl is his teammate after all.
EDIT: Oops, I misunderstood your post. Alicia better be prepared ^^

Is this guy serious? You like the random ass yelling whenever someone starts a combo, drops a combo, dashes forward....wait, they start yelling FOR ANYTHING. Nothing important happens and they yell! Its the worst crowd ever. Sir, you just exposed your ignorance of fighting games. Consider yourself shamed.
Well maybe if the commentators were to say something actually relevent during a match other than "HERE WE GO!" when a combo starts or "AWWW!" when a combo is dropped, then I might be able to learn. There is no intellegence in their play by play.
