I don't think anyone is trying to make it a bad thing at all, they're pointing out that lots of the lesser known but equally good players will get shafted by this type of voting system  ! | ||

A fully open tourney can lead to bad games like the first few seasons of the GSL, but having handpicked players leads to scrutiny and a stagnant player base. I can see it working if the 1000 man open tourney is streamed after the ro16, so that we can see who is playing really well, and those top 16 have a shot at getting in to the 50 regulars in the next season. There has to be some way for players who are performing really well to break in to the league, regardless of how many open spots there are during a season. | ||

Making the invites voting based ensures something like this will never happen. That's not the same in the foreigner scene... if marineking was in NA/EU he would have won several craftcups, a TLopen or two, placed high in some MLGs - korea just has far fewer non-gsl tournaments that we ever hear about. Also the players are not based on voting, this thread should probably be closed. | ||

Please stop looking for ways to make this a bad thing. To my mind, that implies that this is basically just an invite tournament with a bit of "LET THE PUBLIC DECIDE" marketing spiel. Don't get me wrong, i want this to be awesome, but this system seems far from perfect. | ||

Make sure to vote for your favorite player to increase their chances of being chosen for the league!" "50 players will compete in an online group stage in which 15 players will advance to the Grand Finals, which will be a 16 man LAN event. " "There will be an Open Tournament where the winner will be awarded a spot at the Grand Finals. " So only one spot comes from an Open Tournament? You have to be the Grand Champion of a tournament just to QUALIFY for this tournament, unless you win a popularity contest? :/. I could be misguided but I don't think voting will be an issue. The players that are going to dominate the season and tournament aren't going to be starving for votes. A relatively obscure player who doesn't get voted in probably doesn't have a chance in the grand finals anyway. This could change, however. | ||

Doing so would give the unknowns at least some chance, as well as give non NA players an incentive to ladder on NA (and increase its viability of a competitive ladder realm as opposed to a joke). Just a thought...though you run the risk of seeing PiQLiQ lol. edit: if it's not decided by this voting process...then pure invitation also disallows newcomers tbh... | ||

"Third, we will listen to our audience. The community never ceases to amaze us with its ingenuity and determination. We think if we keep you close, we can’t go wrong. And last of all, we must remember why we do this: for the love of the game. " By telling us to stop saying negative things, you are going about what NASL.TV is all about. No one is complaining about NASL.TV, everyone loves it. They just want it to be perfect. | ||
