This is a Q and A thread, so here i go

Question (that i see nowhere has been answered):

1. Do you iNcontrol, have a GOM account + GOM player installed, or have you watched GSL since day 1 through restreams?

As someone who has been paying for GSL since Season 1, i am interested to hear, especially since NASL will use a similar system (HQ = costs money, SQ = free etc)

Thank you for your time

Can we get back to NASL questions please? Leave all the transgressions you might have against iNcontroL separate from this thread and talk about the upcoming league.

Anyways, my question, will you be posting the accepted player's video interview questions for NASL before season 1 starts? I'm looking forward to Tyler and Catz's interview if they do get posted

I do own/have both but I have a tough time getting them to work. Doesn't excuse my actions but there are the facts.

Question:

Maybe this is private, but I'm wondering if the 400k includes salaries for people running the leagues. Are the staff paid by NASL and the prizes are strictly from the sponsors, or are the staff salaries included in the sponsors payment? If the staff aren't going to be paid, is this sustainable? If the NASL business side of things isn't supported by sponsors, how will they be financially supported?

I guess I'm just wondering the structure, say NASL takes off, are there going to be like 3 people at the top with equity in the company making money, while everyone else is a volunteer? Is Russel the only person with equity in the NASL, or is the NASL owned by GosuCoaching which has shareholders?

It's private, yes, but there aren't too many "starcraft companies", so I'm interested in the breakdown if you can release anything.

i wouldn't invest any more effort into even deflecting this. i was reading some dude hardcore flaming you on screddit, then under the same name, 20 minutes later, he was in your stream chat asking you friendly questions.

i seriously don't know what to think other than screddit has proven itself to be a community that i want no part of. it's all horrible attempts at bad memes, socially awkward stories from teenagers, and trolls. there is no intelligent thought at all. even when there is, there is always some asshat who feels the need to correct everyone and have a meltdown in the process.

if you ever wanted to talk to the starcraft youtube viewer fanbase directly, screddit is your place. the comments aren't too far from youtube quality either. it's all very roman Colosseum-esque in nature, and the crowd aint too sharp.

i wonder if they honestly believe that they can cry about reality until fantasy becomes reality. it's quiet romantic when you look at it that way and not childish in nature at all. i think the key word here is child.
you mean you don't base your business decisions on the collective opinion of a group of anti-social children with ego problems? why not?

even if this was all perfect in terms of the rules and the layout, and day9 was the "face" of it all... i feel people would still be trying to burn this down simply for the fact that it could fail. people feel that they personally own esports and you have to act within their guidelines or be rejected by the community. sadly they are not intelligent enough to make rational or sane choices for the advancement of the community even if this were true. so how do we tell them this?

TLDR? any progress is better than no progress, and ur dumb if you think you matter. stop it.

Question: Will there be any race picking restrictions to individual players in the open and/or team formats? Will a player be able to play as any race, and not be locked into a single one during the season?

Player A from team A plays terran and wins
Team B sends out a Protoss.
Player A's TvP is horrible, and he likes PvP for some reason so he picks protoss next game.

Question
Apart from the 1024 player open, are all the rest of the players invite only?
Who decides who the "best" 50 players are (or 49) that get that invite?

If that is the case, and Im sorry if this comes out wrong, but this seems more of a popularity contest rather than skill.

Could someone make a name for themselves in this tournament? Seems like 49 of the 50 people already have made a name for themselves or else they wouldnt be invited?

Thanks!

It's not as silly as claiming that 1000 posts on a subject means that it's a major incident.

Question:

Obviously, public relations has been an issue thus far. Have you considered appointing a specialist to handle public relations in the future, as opposed to letting any staff member make statements about the NASL?

i didn't confuse anything. it's all the same community regardless of what website you post on and the rules that they impose. and spoken like a true community member. what else do i owe you little guy?

no it does not. 400k is the prize pool

equipment/rentals/salaries etc are all separate.

Money is secured for the next 3 seasons. We have sponsors and we have investors but they wanted to be private for the time being. Their names will be released as that time comes. I shouldn't have been so joking on this subject in the past as it seems everyone truly cares but please know it is at their request that we wait a bit.
