My girlfriend isnt a big starcraft fan, though willing to watch and go to Barcrafts, it would be too much to sit through match after match all day. Maybe ill just get a finals HQ pass instead. The event is going to have a BarCraft going the entire time within the main hall, so if your girlfriend is used to the BarCraft scene, that would be a perfect area for her to hang out where she can still watch the matches in a more social setting. | ||

This is why NASL is more than doubling the space and changing the layout entirely by putting the stage in the center of the event, literally. A total of 15 seating sections will wrap all the way around the stage, giving more attendees a better view of the action. On top of this, those who purchase a Premium Pass will enjoy seating in the first few rows of the sections with the best views. YES! This is what improves ESPORTS, NASL!!! Making the tournament more like a football stadium is such a great idea! | ||

I guess you do it single elimination for time restraint but many people think double elimination is a lot better. I used to feel the same way, but there are actually some factors that have changed my mind in certain circumstances: -In many tournaments with double-elimination, you end up with hype/excitement lacking in the final match due to the solutions used to deal with the fact that one person is coming from losers bracket and one is coming from winners bracket. MLG does extended series (which most people agree is awful... even state of the game, a show sponsored/hosted by MLG has discussed how terribly this system ruins tournament finals and individual matches), which can often literally end the finals of a tournament after only 2 games (see Huk vs MC at MLG Orlando... what an anti-climactic finals) that might last a grand total of 15 minutes. Other tournaments will do 2 separate series (winner has to win 1 bo5 and loser has to win 2), but this really kills excitement for many viewers because it's soooooooo much easier for one player to win than the other. -The very best part of doing an extremely long, drawn out group stage season is that these players have already had their chances to battle it out at least for seeding and placement into the final bracket. If this were some random invitational tournament, then yes it'd be unfair that some players got to certain points in the bracket without having to play other (possibly more skilled) players. However, when you have already spent months determining which players are the best in their groups, and thus which seeding each player will get in the finals, it makes a bit more sense to have single elimination than it does when you don't have this full season of data to rely on. I know it's a weird example to give due to Puma coming from the open bracket, but look at season 1's finals. They were honestly some of the most exciting finals I can remember in SC2. Perhaps that was all a fluke (we'll have to wait and see!), but that says to me NASL is doing quite a bit right with their finals format. | ||

Bit it's still weird to write it that way. That's how you spell it, isn't it? And why do you think Diggity isn't gonna get up on stage and start rapping? | ||
