Thats a good question. What is your definition of a team?

That works in Korea because teams are salaried and sponsered. Where as here the vast majority of good players wont have the resources to relocate their entire life. So I'm just curious as to how you are going to get around that? Read the OP, interview, etc.... regular matches are done online, not in person. | ||

On SotG they just mentioned that if Tyler (or anyone) wanted to record ceremonies they could add it in post-production, so that seems to imply no live video of players during games. | ||

"A team is a recognized entity that has players playing under a single banner, has a website, has the ability to support their player(s) to attend an offline final in Los Angeles should the player advance that far. As for your second question, that's up for teams to determine. " White-Ra also has his own team "White-Ra's Team" and a website, white-ra.com . He's fine, don't worry ! | ||

What's the deal with the map pool? Standard Blizzard maps? GSL maps? Customs allowed? Customs developed for the league? Some of the new maps in the GSL have made for a lot better games. | ||

Pre-game, during game, post-game, player reactions can be really entertaining, and helps create characters out of players, which you've shown interest in. It seems logistically difficult, but seeing as how you're requiring video submissions from each player, it might not be impossible. On SotG they just mentioned that if Tyler (or anyone) wanted to record ceremonies they could add it in post-production, so that seems to imply no live video of players during games. We're going to try as much as possible to get nice video footage from our players! | ||

I really think you need to call it NASL champion, as World Champion is plain untrue and misleading. If in the future, NASL is able to fly-in the all the world's best players from Korea then you could possibly start saying you have a world champion. As it is, it makes the NASL look like something it actually isnt , which takes away from it's actual shine imho. | ||

GSL can be live since players are in a studio and it's way easier to handle technical problems whereas players competing in a NASL season will be playing at their place. Also, the show will be way more interesting that way than a live show. Don't forget that this will be happening each day of the week so i don't know why you're complaining. I am pretty sure the finals will be live casted and live streamed too. Well, hopefully. Anyway, you should listen to SoTG...they laid out pretty much all the arguments. If it's anything like the Showmatch between Idra and Jinro then idk, that had bad production imo. They just need to call it what it is and not try to word their way around it. It's all just a VOD and nothing is live. They should follow GSL because thats the best production I've ever seen for a tournament. I did listen to Tyler and his questions on SoTG. He had the same opinions as me and I felt all their asnwers were just totally saying "oh well". He's not on a team? oh well he doesn't play. You're the best player from the world and from korea? oh well he doesn't play. On a giant team and not part of the 5 picked to play? oh well he doesn't play. I see no benefit from this what so ever other than how it helps the organizers and not the audience. | ||

World Series Baseball and being World Champion is actually American champion but yeah you get the picture  Really excited about NASL, I think it's really ambitious and will help SC2 and e-Sports in the West tremendously! Or for people who know any coding languages I could've just said... (!totalBiscuitsStatement) | ||

It makes it look like you got your head in the sand, I dunno if that is an outcome you want. Also , those sports you mentioned have strongest league's in the world and are in U.s.a. Not so for Starcraft 2, it looks silly imho when we all know the GSL is the #1 league in the world. | ||

This seems really conflicting and confusing. ^ So many conflicting opinions from people in the same org....... I'm however (per Geoff's suggestion) say Russel is right and White Ra does not qualify, which is horrible because White Ra is one of the top Protoss' out there.... | ||

So you're saying if I make up a team name like "Zooper31's Team" and make up some website dedicated to everything about me, and then if I'm rich enough to pay my own expenses and the $250 fee I can become my own team? I can now imagine everybody whos past the 5 member mark on ROOT, EG, and Liquid popping up with their own "teams" and by passing this silly rule all together. | ||
