Not sure if Gretorp actually loves talking about gas this much, or he is just humouring Rotti

Just a little note on how players were picked. We wrote down the names of each player in the channel, organized by race, and narrowed the list down to 4 from each race ranked (semi-subjectively) by results/name value.

For players that were not chosen today but were very close (i.e. Glon, Sasquatch) - your names were taken down and will be given higher priority next time. We hope that we can give as many players a chance as possible - but do realize that there are more than 9 good players, but a limited number of slots. We will do our best to give players an opportunity to shine, however!

Thanks, and enjoy the games!


oh that's weird... so you are not mixing no namers with well known players? Just all the well known players to begin than the no namers towards the end? Or will some people be able to play more than once?



I wouldn't call me/sasquatch "no namers"... I've qualed for IPL5 and Sassy MLG Summer Arena. But yeah -- there needs to be SOME system to sift through players more effectively (like a coin flip maybe?)


I actually was not refering to you specifically, but like actual unknown grandmasters who might want to play, but do not have name value because... well ya know they are unknown :D

How is a coin flip a more effective way than a results based criteria.


My haphazard question was more about the fact that you say anyone can play, but then base the criteria on results. So if you are saying anyone can play than yes coin flip would be more effective. I would not have been confused if this was not advertised. From what I gather from your posts you are picking 9 people of each race over the 3 days based on results which means anyone who has been in grandmasters cannot actually play.


Saying "anyone can play" doesn't equate to "everyone will be able to play." We can only have a very limited number of games played in a day and have to consider several factors when selecting: a) who showed up to play, b) what players would our viewers care about watching, c) based on the current games, are there any players that, if in the channel, would create a fun and interesting game/story (I.E. there is bad blood between TT1 and Goswser, so putting that match on would be very interesting because there is a story behind it).

For example, I played basketball at a gym in Inglewood, CA two summers ago where many NBA/College players train. There are always pickup games at the gym and technically anyone could have played. That gym, and any gym you go to will always advertise that "anyone can play," it doesn't mean that everyone actually will play. That's just how it works - with a limited number of people who can play, there will always be others left out.

So let's say that there are 15 zergs who show up to play tonight, all Grand Master. If I put them on a list (even with a very basic setup like "who have results" and "who don't have results"), there is a pretty high chance that there will be at least 3 notable or semi-notable players on the list, and the other 12 zergs won't be playing. Just because they didn't get to play doesn't mean they could not have played.


Ok makes sense though I did not need that basketball analogy to understand

I played pick up basketball games at a major university gym and I am willingly to bet a lot that there are amazing non-NBA/college players that do get picked. :D

Gotta say, NASL vastly improved their breaks. I was getting tired of that daunting music they had last season.

Pumped to see how Masa does, he's the hidden gem of the "Canadian" scene.

He's technically Korean and afaik doesn't have a Canadian citizenship, but he is damn good.

This is too fuckin' sick, my first time tuning in to this and I'm so flabbergasted....

Axslav, Mini, Beasty, Vibe, Destiny on the way, potentially Scarlett, get to see an exciting prospect in Masa...
Great casting and even better games.

Damn. Keep up the good work
