3 points for Jinro, obviously.
3 points for White-ra.
3 points for Sen (needs more Sen)
1 point for Idra (not an afterthought, he will be fine on the ranking anyways...)

Excellent announcement. SC2 fans should be--and are--psyched!

Quick comments:
* Incontrol is a good talking head for this type of thing. Interviews, casting, filling up dead air--he'll have no problem with it all.
* However, as far as pure casting is concerned, a lively co-caster would seal the deal. A DJwheat, a day9, a Husky, etc.
* The format sounds well-thought out. I like the financial penalties for teams if their players misbehave (fines should probably be higher actually).
* The focus on professionalism they're promising is sorely needed. Good job. (But the graphical designers should step up their game as far as the announcement and the Titans show match is concerned.)

400K? It's really not that much. Thats like 10 people of lower middle class pooling a 1 year salary...Its sad that so many players have to fight for that. I love how all these 14 year old kids can be wowed by a big number though LOL. To top it all off there's about 6 people who will win this thing...Show me salaries for fulltime players, then we can preach about revolution.

You guys are pissing yourself too hard =/ Why this isn't better than GSL:

100k prize pool is in fact SMALLER than GSL @ 128k-ish, not only that but each GSL is 1.5 months versus FOUR months for one NASL tourney. Therefore, none of the top koreans will even bother. I can see code A koreans coming to try their luck though.

Inc. + Gretorp casting, rofl. I've only watched them a couple of times but Gretorp is a tool, sorry. I think Kelly is better than him. Tasteless and Artosis are miles ahead of those two.

This also, in essence, is just a really big online tourney. There's something more interesting about a live tourney.

Lower level of competition as well.

All in all, its a great announcement and all, I'm pretty excited myself to have more Starcraft to watch, however let us not kid ourselves. NASL is not "bigger" or the "mecca of SC2 progaming".

wow you are an insanely negative person... daily matches? top16 is live, btw.

gretorp is a good caster, i don't know why you'd call him a tool he was nothing but a nice guy on today's tournament. artosis yes gives the best strategic commentary of ANYONE, including day9, by farrrr but I mean... you can't just be like "well it's not artosis, how can it be good!"

altho i'm not a huge fan of incontrol

I guess iNcontroL can't play, huh?

I don't mind him casting, and it's a pity Day[9] can't (though I'm happy he'll keep doing his dailies), but I didn't really feel a great collaborative energy between iNcontroL and Gretorp. Granted, I haven't seen many Incontorp Casting Archon Commentaries, so I figure I should watch a few more before I pass judgments.

This is going to be awesome anyway

400k over 3 tourneys 200K for the last, that 200k is greater than what one GSL gives away.
Abstracts, the too long didn't read of the educated world.

I don't even know what to do with my time anymore. Once this gets rolling, and you have NASL and GSL on the same night, only crap. This is so much awesome I think it's actually unfair that I won't have the time to watch it all.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

For something with such a huge prize pool for funding it's quite contrast to how the precursor event was handled, mainly production. Felt so so amateurish (basement dwelling 2 guys casting replays awkwardly with delay).
Sure, the actual NASL will be much much better I am certain but it did it no favours having the announcement so closely tied into this show match series, of which served a hype feed, but I feel a thread on TL would of done perhaps even more positive hype alone than perhaps casting a bit of doubt whether or not this can be pulled off with top professional quality that such a prize fund and event deserves, no, demands.

$100,000 prize pool at $20 each.

5000 subscribers needed to break even on the prize pool.

3 months of casting for incontrol and gretorp is like another $30,000.
Developer cost for 3 months is another $15,000.

Studio cost $10,000 for 3 months.

Looking like they need like 7-8k subscribers to make it barely profitable.

I think the simple fact that they will relese replay packs will stop alot of koreans from competing if their gsl opponent can download it days before their match

Noone say Gretorp is a bad caster. He is the second best after artosis.
