as always good show. Good to hear incontrol being very apologetic on behalf of NASL and the mistakes that were made. It brings me hope that they know, that they're working on it.

Keep it up!


Here, here!

I think people on this site really, really underestimate how difficult it is to broadcast 3 to 4 hours of original and new content, 5 days a week, with players from all over the world.

That's on par with the average TV Network.

While the NASL has had some technical errors and programming glitches, the amount of criticism (and entitlement) from the Team Liquid community towards the NASL is truly ludicrous.

In particular, I find the comparisons to Dreamhack to be laughable. That's a weekend LAN event localized in a single location. Quite frankly, it's relatively basic compared to what NASL is trying to do.

Not all criticism is equal and while I think the NASL should ignore a lot of it (including myself), there are very experienced people pointing out problems and offering advice, particularly with production, and they need to soak up every bit of criticism from those people. It just seems extremely hard to believe that with two days and 2 pro editors, all those specific errors would slip through. And it's more than editing. Grey/black background, desks, monitors, sign, casters. Very few graphics, no transitions, a set composition missing many broadcasting/imaging basics. I have a mancrush on iNcontroL and Gretorp and it saddens me because people behind the scenes are letting them down. It just doesn't look like there are experienced professionals working on it.


Jibba, I actually agree with most your points. It seems like, on some level, they're missing a producer with broadcast experience, to just set a stronger look and standard.

They need a real graphic/motion designer, and another producer. In regards to the editors, I ... it sounds like a lot of their scheduling problems are making it very hard on the editors to turn the content over in time. It might be more of a coordination problem than a problem with the editors.

Regarding NASL: "The website is made by a professional company".

As a web designer, what company is this? The glaring oversight regarding player pictures should put them on anyone's blacklist of companies to work with, for esports and anything else.

I'm only on minute 42 now but I've already laughed countless of times, rewinded to hear statements again and overall just been enjoying it immensily.

From my perspective this is already one of the greatest and most packed state of the game episodes to date, the atmosphere is amazing and I want to thank each and every one of you for allowing us to enjoy it.

I find it funny how they pretty much talk around Idras Flames and against them and Idra just can't say anything against it.

Try looking at the the bottom of any page on the website, or any website. You should know this as a web designer, or a person under 60 that uses the internet.

I'm pretty sure you're just hatin'/trollin', but I dont think there's a whole lot wrong with the website, the picture thing isn't not a big deal. The website actually looks pretty damned good, just some of what has been added to it has been a bit shoddy.

The only thing I'd like to see are the overall standings organized by wins and losses rather than alphabetically.

Quick suggestion: Why not make Anna's question an actual staple of the podcast? (much like the almighty Cockhorse) Just let her use google voice, forget about the other lame google voice callers.

I greatly appreciate Anna adding variety to SotG's 3-hour long schlongfest, but the interruption gag is getting old =)


Or even better, turn it around and call her.

I wouldn't mind skipping the gag part altogether and properly integrating it as a brief segment. It would have the advantages of a regular "column" without disrupting general flow of discussion.

Maybe it has been mentioned somewhere but i didnt read the last some-thousand posts.

Is idra somewhat of a fixed 5th "pillar" now?
I know, its just been just 3 shows in a row, but he has been in what, 6 of 9 shows this year?

Not that this question has any relevance to anything, i'd just would like to know.

Ho and, glad to have Idra on the show again. I know he's a pillar, but as he was in korea we couldn't have him everytime, but it's cool to see him back every week <3

In the case with Cruncher, I agree he is what SC2 needs( new blood to step up), as in all sports we have the super stars, and we all are fanboys of one pro gamer or another. The point they were trying to make is they think he is good for SC2 but they are not impressed with his style. If you are a Cruncher fanboy , good for you. I just don't see why people get so up tight when they are just trying to give their insight on how they saw the game.

Thats is what the show is all about. I bunch of progamers and casters who know the game, and giving out analysis and on how they saw it.

The thing about the camera that some people are trolling about, wow be happy you got video, it was meant to be a podcast of audio not video.

Last night's show was such a step-up from last week. Not to hate on SotG 'cause I enjoy every single show but last week was so emo. //wrists
Glad to see Tyler and Sean in a better mood, and I love Idra on the show as well.
The NASL discussion was pretty insightful; I like Geoff's transparency regarding the issues with NASL.

I think he is, yes.

Anyway, about the nasl maps, didn't nasl wanted to have their own maps ? Incontrol said that often in nasl casts, that it's up to the players to prepare, that's why they didn't fix close positions on metal for instance so players have to practice specifically for nasl. But after the uproar against those bad maps (from pros and forums together), they just damage controlled the situation saying it was a mistake (which is good). This needs a serious investigation :D
