Geoff really should have interjected there before Russ answered the question regarding WhiteRa because people are going to take the team requirement statement way too literally
E-Sports is competitive video gaming with a spectator fan base. Do not take the word "Sports" literally.

Sigh. it feels funny that iNcontrol is the one defending instead of attacking. This is the kind of stuff he normally DESTROYS on SOTG. Things that he usually really hate.

No... argue the point that SC2 isn't basketball. You can't say "Well SC2 players should get a team because a TEAM game like basketball requires it." It is obviously understandable for team leagues, but this is a solo game...

Come on guys, at least use good analogies if you are going to argue a point, and despite all that... you don't have to be like the NBA! I'm still looking forward to the league, but between requiring a team AND not allowing more than 5 people per team, I'm a bit disappointed. :-|

I like this Russ guy. This QA with him made me feel a lot better about the NASL, though this weird hybridization of team league and individual league still seems kind of messy to me.

That basketball "explanation" for why white-ra can't play. lol. I really hope they think some of this shit through before it's too late.

The biggest issue that will just have to figure itself out is the team size limit imo...but as seasons are played it will at least be addressed organically.

From a spectators perspective it doesn't matter but from a players perspective that's playing 9 games compared to 4. And they want the players to play that many games.


A valid point, but at least if there were 10 divisions they could allow more players from each team to play in the tournament without meeting each other in a group stage. I'm just kind of echoing Tyler's point and obviously its too close to the league start date to considerably change the rule set or league format but in future seasons that rule may need to be looked at. Imagine if there were a limit on oGs/TSL/IM players in GSL.

Hey its a 5 on 5 starcraft league don't you know? Just like basketball! Can't play in a basketball game without a team!

Just kidding =p but that was a really poor argument. Even the normally neutral JP was ready to rip into that just that he was being nice

White-Ra is sponsored and is forming a team, he should be fine to play, and even if he wasn't he's motherfucking White-Ra, he's so iconic in SC that he ought to be allowed to play. IF the NASL really will be this draconian (which it may well not be, only time will tell) in an area as simple as who can play, then sadly I see it being a spectacular failure.
also i think you should be able to combine like 5 archons to make a really really shitty oliver stone film - Keanu_Reaver, bw balance genius

Why not make 8 divisions with 6 players, top 2 go into ro16. Player must have a sponsor and there cannot be 2 plays from the same team in the same division. end.

what can you do, when you're basically the only game in town, you get to dictate the playing field.

This is going to drive me insane.
Every player on team liquid could be considered one of the top 50 players in the world. Are you really saying you are going to take a worse player into the league because of an arbitrary restriction to team numbers?

This team thing is so silly. You're fostering team vs team conflict/drama for viewers over competitiveness. I think that is the wrong way to start with this whole north american esports movement.


Also: The huk thing:
I think he was telling people to stop talking about the code A seeding. People were criticizing foreigners getting put in code A without having to qualify. Huk demonstrated that he could best code A players and therefore people should stop saying they aren't up to snuff.

It further bothers me that you guys are trying to encourage ceremonies for your own league but will rip on huk for a ceremony five minutes later.

I think the nba argument was really horrible. While there are teams who practice together, at its core starcraft is an individual game. By excluding players without a team and the 5 person cap per team all they are doing is excluding potential top 50 players and watering down the talent in the NASL. I mean does anyone really want to see some no name players from small teams instead of Ra/haypro/etc.

Idra has been just as confident, just as cocky, and had been made to look incredibly stupid in the past. HuK is right, Idra ought to respect his dedication and ability.

And furthermore, HuK is right about Kellymilkies too. She wasn't that bad at all.

Someone should mention to Inc etc that his "stop talking shit" thing was not about him but about the caster bashing.
