I really dislike "NASL", am I alone?

Why not just NSL? National StarLeague or just National Starcraft League to follow suit with NFL, NHL. Or even ASL, American StarLeague.

I don't know, NASL just seems awkward to me but daaaamn if I'm not all over it :D

I think they don't want to leave out Canada, which is also a huge force in e-sports, producing players such as HuK and Kiwikaki. NASL seems like it isn't just limited to the US when it's northern neighbor is also a worthy force.

This sounds great, especially with IdrA's return :D I hope they set up a good stream system, and make an effort so bring in the top European players too, I somehow doubt there'll be something like this in Europe (but we can hope ^^).

I prefer ASL.. has a nice ring to it and techincally all people living in north america are americans . and does it matter? it shouldn't be a problem if it was USSL (united states star league) since it would be based in california and i imagine US companies would sponsor it.
I only make 5 actions per minute. But since I use all my time deliberating and planning, my 5 actions are so brutally devastating that children cry out and grown men weep.

Doesn't leave much incentive for North American Foreigners at least to go to Korea. If this league competes with the GSL in prize money, a guy like Huk might want to come play closer to home.

Aside from the notoriety/learning experience why stay in Korea unless you are dominating in Code S?
Y'know sometimes people ask me y'know like "What's your religion and stuff?" And I'm like "y' know it's like RTS." Uh, and they're like, "What's that?" And I'm like, "Y'know it's kinda like, kinda like Buddism."

I dunno, I don't think this will be half as good as the GSL, its just whenever I've seen american/western tournaments they always lack the production value and quality that the korean tournaments have. Will their be booths? Fire? Huge Arenas?

Doubt it but best of luck

well there was an american football league (afl) and an american baseball league yet it had nothing to do with canada or south america. i dont think anybody would fuss too much over ASL even if they neglected south america

ASL has huge recognition as American Sign Language.
