NASL reminds me of the North American Soccer League. But given that the soccer league folded a few decades back, I think this name will do ;D

Nothing to Announce, Sorry Lads


I honestly think that this might be right. INcontrol's gunna be an E-sports messiah, or is the most successful troll ever.


he is ALWAYS bringing up 'ascension 2' aka 'descension'. I think he's been foreshadowing things all along. ingenious actually.

I thought this one is not Starcraft related!?!?
Anyhow, cool stuff, but let's better wait for further announcements!

Nice work there hehe. If you're right that means two big time leagues in the west now along with mlg. Seems crazy to me just how fast things are growing giving sc2's been out only couple months. Anyways, best of luck to them if it's true.

Whether or not the word "metagame" is correctly used or not he has a point.

I, unfortunately, too beleive that whatever happens outside of korea still will be second to what happens in GSL.

Although i don't care too much as long as there are high quality games and Day9 casting!

Maybe, just maybe, the prize pool is enough to get some koreans to go to NA to play in this league. Specially code A koreans that struggle getting to code S might want to go for the money in NA.

Kinda off-topic but words change their meanings all the time.

I'm hyped for the NASL, and hopefully it may be a powerhouse league. In the future, I hope for a Champions League style event where the top players from each league will compete.

Could be a reason why Idra returns to the US. If so, this will be HUGE.

My prediction for NASL:

- Monthly League tournaments involving 64 of the top NA SC2 Pro-gamers
- US$100,000 prize pool per tournament + 1000 free Big Macs (sponsored by GosuCoaching, McDonalds & Nike)
- Grand Finals in December with a winner's check of US$200,000
- All matches Broadcasted LIVE on ESPN2 replacing the National Spelling Bee
- VODS provided 24 hours after matches in 1080p for free!
- Full event coverage by Day9

WOOOOOOO!!! See this is what happens when people dont announce stuff right away, the hype just builds and builds up to the point where once the actual announcement happens, its a major disappointment

Anyway hopefully the tourney will be close to what ive envisioned above


If all those conditions are fulfilled, I will literally chop my balls off.

Do you understand that there are different levels of metagame.

There's the Current NA server TvZ metagame (The standard TvZ for NA), then there's the metagame between players "Oh MKP likes to do Marines, I'll play against that metagame"

etc, etc

You know, we're all shouting StarLeague, but what if it's just Showmatches like the one coming up between IdrA and Jinro?

Urgh. I fucking hate hype. It always leaves me feeling disappointed and empty. Like a hooker.

Is anyone else kind of sad that IncontroL confirmed already that day9 isn't involved (yet)

We pretty much know for sure gretorp and incontrol will be casting. Maybe they see day9 as a threat? that would be awful because we need day9 casting this. He has been preaching all along that this is life goal and it seems like his life goal is coming to fruition without him

As I live in SK, this will be extremely disappointing for me as the times actually help me keep in touch with the pro scene.

A european one would be best as that would cater for all Time Zones

Strictly speaking even that isn't the correct use of the word, but I've an exam in 45 minutes so I've no time to argue and it's a hopeless fight anyway. Lame excuse, I know.

It's not like he is without casting gigs and he can't do them all anyway.

I'm trying to figure out how we could have interpreted "I will chop my balls off" non-literally.

"I will figuratively chop my balls off."
"I will metaphorically chop my balls off."
"I will, as the time-worn saying goes, 'chop my balls off.'"
"I will portray chopping my balls off using the vocabulary of modern dance."
