Who said we're picking players entirely from this vote?

And how will you decide if e.g. a famous caster gets 100k votes from his community and ranked at first place?
The votes are obviously a way to get the community involved and to make the organisers look at someone to consider an invite.

They'll look at his team and professional history.
They'll look at his ladder ranking.
They'll look at his previous tournament appearances.

If all those are sufficient to call him one of the 50 best players who applied, invite him to play.

In the case of Destiny (who you are talking about, I suspect) he wouldn't make 2 of the 3. Probably not even the ladder since he's not even Top 100 in his region.

With the amount of actual talent this prize pool will attract, he is simply not a valid invite, popularity or not.

The voting is a fun way to get involved and support your favorite players. It helps but by no means WHAT SO EVER decides who gets selected.

Please stop looking for ways to make this a bad thing.



well, according to the interview, the selection process is already "down to a T" or was that a misquote? are we to wait for more announcements regarding the qualifying process, because all we know so far is teams seem to have priority, you can get american idol'd on, or you can be the king 4gater out of 1000 and get a shot against the big boys who will swiftly run through your match history and know everything about you....

just have an open qualifier with swiss rounds and cut to the top 32, then have 32 slots for teams that qualified at least 1 player in the top 32 and u can keep all the politics and butt-kissing for those slots, but seriously if top caliber players know outright that they have NO chance at this tournament, they will mock, laugh, and claim its illegitimacy all day and night, the audience will take note, and you wont get the viewers you need. this was a big mistake, please correct it, there's still time, just say tomorrow "of course there's open slots, there were gonna be open slots all the time, quit yer bitching guyz"

If at any stage you thought players would solely get chosen based on this vote.. then you have very little faith in the amount of effort that would have been put into an enterprise such as NASL..

They were looking to get the community involved and somehow it got turned into a shitstorm .. Now that iNcontrol has made it clear; the vote is just an indicator... i don't see why we need to be all mad of this non existent popularity contest..

I cannot believe the people who are bagging on this announcement. This is F'ing HUGE. Everyone outside of Korea has waited years and years for this. Yes, I am aware that whatever format this tourny is in it will have flaws. But you know what, these guys are gamers just like the rest of us. Are our memories that shortsighted to try and remember what we had before? NOTHING.

Get off your high horses and get behind this or it will fail. At least they arent Kespa and say "STFU you have no opinion and you do as we say". No, on the NASL.TV page it says that the community involvement will be great. So, again, stop acting like jackass's and start making it bigger and better than korea. We all have dreams.

Funny fact, I beat EGLZgamer at MLG DC. Now, to people that don't watch much, if you'd be guessing who would win something like that, would you guess me or the person with EG in their name?

If I had needed to be voted in to MLG to be able to participate, something like that would never be able to happen, as I'd automatically be written off since I could be a player that is not popular or well known at the time.

This does not go for just me obviously, but imagine players even less known than myself...that could be better...

To do this NASL, which I want to get into, I suddenly feel like I need to take more time out of practice now to get on twitter, facebook, stream 20x more, and basically everything and anything that can get me more exposure =/!

Replay pack in the works now


That's life though. It's the same in any field of work. If you start placing well in every other event you will become popular, it's as simple as that.

As long as the vote is just a factor in the equation, then I am all for some community input. But it would be crazy to see a forum vote being the dominant thing in selecting the player pool.

Here is the awesome interview that Geoff did that really explains everything better. He talks about the selection process in more detail as well. Sounds awesome!

I guess IdrA was already chosen? or is that a typo.



I don't understand the addition to the quote but the quote means 15 people will advance from their 10 man groups and then 1 player will win a 1024 player online tournament and also participate in the LAN event.

Ahh thanks for clearing that up and what do you mean 'addition to the quote'? I just bolded the numbers.

I took my votes back once i saw MC, Nestea and MVP were on the second page, and gave the votes to them.

No im not some "KOREA IS BEST!" guy but i wanna see the best players, or at least use my votes to say that i want the best players, and i dont care if they are from Korea, Nigeria, USA or Japan.

If you think you're one of the top 50 players outside of Korea, then go out and win a few tourneys, join a team, and get your name out there. Failing that, if you think you're one of the top 50 players outside of Korea, it should be no problem for you to take down the open qualifier.

Beating someone once is fine and good, but there's a reason important match-ups are decided in best of 3-7 games...so that a fluke doesn't determine the outcome.

Yeah, a probable $50,000 first prize tournament is the same "chance to win an MSI GT660 notebook" tournament.
