Alive vs Dongraegu, what an opening treat. :D

Huk vs. Ret should be good, alive v. DRG as well

It's cool to see random Koreans that have never been in the gsl. Like Polt.

Polt is not a random korean and he is a GSL champion.

Season 4 already! Cool
Can we get some info on how the wildcards system work? We only know 5 players who win the Divisions advance in Ro16, do all the second place finishers qualify to wildcards playoff system?

OK, thank you for the link. It was exactly what I was looking for.

I think it will go:
Huk > Ret
Although I consider Ret a slightly better player atm, he seems to be very vulnerable against HuKs style in the past and lost to him even in matches, he was favored.
Polt > Hasu
Very interesting match for me. Polt has been a bit quit in the international scene, but has made his return to Code-S through Code-A (Want I want to express: he didn´t get seeded). Hasu on the other side was able to trade blows with Supernova at Campus Party and shortly after that won EPS Berlin open, so he is in form as well. Polt is favored, but I think and hope Hasu can pull the upset.
Arthur > MorroW
I didn´t see MorroW for a long time, while Arthur had to qualify for this season. I would give the advantadge to Arthur.
aLive < DRG
Just a guess, both are great players, I have no clue, who to bet on.

Ehh,, i bought HD pass beacuse i thought it would be streamed 19:00 swedish time.
But now i i realised its just rebroadcasts that time, not the actual play.
WTF NASL.
This means steam will be live 03:00 instead O.o ?

What an awesome name Arthur is, I will henceforth be a fan.

As we have not heard anything else, one kind of has to assume it is the same as last season, where the games were either played live or played earlier in the day of casting.

Games were played extremely recently (within a day or two) so that he has adequate time to prepare for Code S 
Awesome games today!!!
Ret - Huk (honestly can go either way though)
HasuObs - Polt
Arthur - Morrow
aLive - DRG

So that's what Slayers Arthur looks like. I was starting to expect an aardvark or something.

How old is he? He looks like 13 or smth. in that region; I guess that is why he was hidden so long.

You really thought NASL was cast/played live for Sweden?
Hey a picture for Arthur!

Normally I'd watch the EU re-broadcast but I'll be staying up to watch the first inaugural match or two (thankfully my work has flexi-time as I’ve already written off making it in at 8:00 XD). Season 3 was just sublime IMO so I’m really looking forward to a great show this season. Can’t wait!

Isnt it time for some new thumbnails?
That Hasuobs pic looks like his early WC3 days.

Suits for all of them. NASL has come soooooo far.

Have been looking forward to NASL since the final. Hope this season will be as good as the last one:D

According to Barbie, who is NASL mod and I think works in the studio "They will probably do it first, unless there's a live game right at 6"

Incredible map intro. NASL you have come so far

I said it last season and I say it again. I simply don't understand why NASL get so little attention from the NA sc2 fans. For me NASL is one of the most professional on-line sc2 shows we got and I do hope it gets a bit more love.

That was just one-sided as ever.

Yea, a bit surprising Hasuobs normally don't play like that properly why it failed

Arthur? I was like Who the Fuck is Arthur when I saw the players on the schedule and before I came on thread lol. I'll give this a shot while I eat my dinner.
edit: nvm switched to phD after seeing posts above mine. Sorry NASL.

Bit of a messy game from Polt, but at least his TvP isn't as hopeless as I thought it was.

Can't wait to see Archer play, Rotti. ^_^

Why would you think it was hopeless? It's not as strong as back in the day but Polt is still a really strong TvP player. He's lost a few series lately though, although many of them are against pretty strong PvTers

WOOT S4 already started? awesome!

Go Arthur! For Boxer and Mr. Ratburn!

Perhaps "hopeless" was too harsh of a word to use, but Polt's TvP has not been looking the same I think. Sure, Seed, HerO and YongHwa are no PvT slouches, but Polt is definitely capable of at least beating HerO and YongHwa (though he seemed to really not care about WCG).

Morrow, how do you not punish a forge-less FE, especially when you scouted it? Now all Arthur's timings are going to hit much harder and faster.
Edit: Well, that was a solid hold by Morrow. I stand corrected.

But that wasn't very good either, his ZvP is kinda shaky I feel. Gogo MorroW Hwaiting !

Oh I agree. A game should be instantly over when the Zerg is 90 supply and 3 base and the Protoss is at 40 supply. The fact that Arthur was able to max was a HUGE mistake. But, I cannot overcritique a player when he wins though. Morrow almost foreignered that game.

Arthur knows how you win PvZ. Fuck this broodlord infestor shit, lets win at 10 minutes.

No this Euro-Korean set was played earlier. Hard to sync up Euro-Korean-USA for a fair schedule.

There'a a few.
1) go standard build and once lair is done, immediately put all spent gas on speed, overseer roaches, and extra on lings. Then put it to backstab. Then you get some more drones. Then you make a mass amount of units and get ready to 360 surround.
2) do a 3 hatch opening, but get a gas b4 third hatch. speedling bane bust. don't need to cancel 3rd.
3) do a 3 hatch opening, but get a gas b4 third hatch. get roach warren, and canel third b4 its done. Roach slow ling all-in.
4) do a 3 hatch opening, fast gas after 3rd hatch. run up to lair and fastest spire possible. mutas will probably hit before he is able to move out and now the push cannot commence.

hey, kind of important thing here--
did anyone notice game 1 huk vs ret that the queens had the old range? they had the old attack animation too
were these games played pre patch or was the map wrong?
|
|
|
Great force fields by Huk. Sectioned that army apart so well.
|
Oh hey, they have map intros now, that's cool
|

Damn, huk is doing pretty well. I much prefer the not a 7 gate every game off of one gas HuK :D
|
I feel like the 4gate opening for Huk did more indirect damage than the casters let on, Ret made a TON of units to shut down the pressure, but at the cost of a lot of drones. I wish they would've shown the number of harvesters for each side because as far as I can tell Huk had/has a probe lead all the way until Ret took his fourth.
|
Lol and Ret thought Huk was easy.
|
No offense to Protoss players, but I hate watching Protoss match ups (except PvP ironically.) I find them so boring and repetitive.
|
More army control practice for Ret i guess.
|
Practice with Stephano paying off for Huk? :D
|
Ret being Ret against protoss.
|

That was such a weird game last time, Huk would have won much sooner if he was warping in when he had 3k minerals!
|
Honestly it seemed both players were a bit off their peak that game... :/
|
Really solid play from Huk

Not really no, that part where he warped in nothing for ~2 minutes and built up 3k minerals... He'd have won right there if he kept warping in.
I think that it was more just ret making mistakes

Yup. Both made big mistakes, but Ret's mistakes were just even bigger.

how is Luaren going to be involved with S4? I thought she was just going to be a part of S3 finals.
she's married so I can't imagine she moved to California just for NASL.

Probably as an analytical caster I'd imagine. Figure she'll probably host the finals or something, but not sure how'd they'd fit her in in the regular season

Nice to see Huk win something. Rets play wasnt all that solid tho...

She's a model and was a playboy model, I'd imagine she already lives in LA.

Why did Ret pick HuK into his group? I believe HuK has had Ret's number for a long time now.
|
|
|
Someone said "i just saw queen is attacking old range"
then,he watching queen carefully , it attacks old range again.
He claim that Queen attacks old range couple of times.
Sorry for my low English.
|
Woot! HuK with a good start!
|
So what's with the random blond bimbo? I guess the answer is obvious but they could've atleast chosen someone who sounds a little smarter...
User was warned for this post

Where can I find VODs for this? I tried nasl.tv and the twitch account but can't find any of these matches?
Oh, nevermind, I see that they have a seperate twitch account for season 4: http://nl.twitch.tv/nasls4/videos
