White-Ra also has his own team "White-Ra's Team" and a website, white-ra.com . He's fine, don't worry !
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.
You can do that, but you won't get chosen to be in the league

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.
in all american sports, we call the winners world champions. superbowl winnders, world series, nba finals, pga, etc... 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 are the 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.
I think you're possibly nitpicking about something that doesn't... really... matter...

Well Xeris sorry to sound critical but the brains of the whole NASL just said on stream that white-ra would need to get a sponsor and be on a team. 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....
He does qualify. Thanks for your concern though Pat!

Also, is MorroW allowed to play in this since Xeris is running it?

hmm who to believe, xeris or geoff/russ ? D:

This thread is full of conflicting and misleading communication. "Casting" stands for "Broadcasting" not "Commentating" you should say that the games are "Commentated Live" aka, not from replays, then say that the Stream or the Broadcast is delayed to allow for post production. There is nothing LIVE about pre-recording games and then streaming them later, all television is LIVE by the way you guys have described this. It also leaves me no reason to watch the stream rather than waiting for the VOD's, the stream is just a big VOD that I have to watch at an inconvenient time.

As I said, it's plain untrue and misleading. World Champion ? please. NASL champion , ok now that makes sense.

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.
They still actually have to be accepted though and Im sure xeris actually knows pretty much every decent player who deserves a spot

Agreed I absolutely applaud Xeris for trying his best and doing a damn fine job replying to all the questions here. Would be nice though if we had a definite head person who's ruling is final so we knows answers are correct. Lots of contradictions here and SoTG and other places.

By lots, you mean one (regarding teams). And I can 100% assure you that what I've said here is how we're doing it I should have been on SOTG today with Russ & iNc, but it's alright.

Anyway, after 12 hours of work today, I'm off! Cya guys tomorrow.

But because he isn't good enough, or because you don't like his "team"? If it's the former and his team counts, then the "be on a team" requirement seems really dumb. If it's the latter, then it seems like there are different rules for famous players than for less well-known players.

Who said that this is only American players? Wtf
Do you have the European support though?
Playing on NA servers only.
3 month leagues commitment - with possibly very little prize if you don't hit top 16 (even if you hit top 16?) Prize allocation hasn't been announced but I don't see being placing 8-16 will be too profitable for the players minus travel costs (and three months)/
The previous largest tournament - MLG only managed to attract 2 Europeans for one event or so?
