Relax. We're only 15/50 players through. Still another 35 to be announced.

As a consumer, my preference is to see July, NaDa, Artosis, BoxeR, MC, RainbOw, NonY, TLO, and IdrA. I think there will be a friendly rivalry between NA, Europe, and KR. Should be fun to see the competitive spirit of each region. Show them some of that American spirit, determination, and rugged individualism my fellow Americans! | ||

Yeah, I was just pointing out that they did not throw out the number 5 in regards to Koreans, but the opposite. (Maybe he was thinking of the 5-per-team rule, which was done away with) We'll find out when we find out. | ||

Yes, the NA scene does not have the depth that Europe does, but I would put the top NA players against any others in the world -- IdrA, NonY, SeleCT, HuK and if Artosis could spend most of his time practicing he would be up there.

I mean, as this league has developed we've seen very little in the way of things like website development, any sort of business-like methodology, or wide representation from people within the league itself; you see something like GSL and you know there are dozens of people with full-time jobs running around doing tons of things to make the league seem as much like a 'real league' as possible. I mean, the production value is huge. IGN's proleague is sure to run in the same way, as its being run by a huge corporation. The NASL, meanwhile, seems to literally just be Gretorp, iNcontroL, Xeris, and Russell in that little conference room with the whiteboard. Not that anything is wrong with that, but it's kind of hard for four people to get the hype train rolling. edit: The reason I made this post was because I kind of was lamed-out when I saw that you guys were slowly revealing the players 5 at a time but the source code on your site, when viewed, showed the next ten as well. It seems like that sort of error should have been caught, and as well that your website should be in general more well kept-up and functional. | ||

If so NASL won't set the world on fire, but could still be worth watching... maybe... although there is zero chance I'll pay for any content if there aren't at least 10 code S type. The sad thing about not having the top players, is some people will watch NASL, thinking it is the best of the best... only to later find our that they've been watching the B league all along. If you're going to bring in a new audience..... give them the best SC has to offer. Its like having a car show, but not inviting Germans because they are so dedicated to the craft. | ||

Who is code S type? Only the players in Code S or players who can compete with them? Maybe Hasu, Thorzain and Morrow, who all won against a Code S player in TSL? | ||

Code S type... are those that have played in Code S or qualified for the GSL opens.....IMO. I think NASL has over 10 Code S applications Idra, Huk, Jinro, St_Rainbow, oGsEnsnare, oGsMC, TLO, ST_July, Boxer, Nada, oGstheWind.... even more too..... If you're Code S, or won something like IEM, Dreamhack... then you should be in... otherwise the league is a phony representation of the best players. I'm sure these Code S players can be beaten... and I would love to see it.... but to not have them.... is to miss the opportunity to see the best players and to miss the opportunity to beat the best players. Its a double lose. | ||

Its a double lose. This post is just all over the place. First you says you want code-S types, which you only define as being in Code or qualifying for GSL opens (seeming to imply the need to have moved to Korea to prove yourself), but later you add winning big tournies like IEM or Dreamhack. Also, remember that Torch, Artosis, and Haypro all qualified in the GSL open tournaments. I don't see them in your list of code-S types, nor Moon who was 2nd at IEM. (Not that Torch app'd to this). Also, Huk and Jinro did not apply to NASL. -.- | ||

Why you gotta be so hurtful?  Really? I wonder why then didn't but guys like MC did? I bet its to make room for Koreans! Cuz Huk and Jinro and righteous dudes and they know NASL wants to limit the top tier Korean talent. (just speculating) | ||

Kiwi is #1 seed in MLG over all of those players that you listed (and for a good reason), and has beaten every one of those players consistently in team leagues over the last two months. | ||

Actually, HuK is #1, he just isn't attending as he is in Code S/World Championship, and Kiwi was knocked out by HuK at at least one MLG. | ||

Both these players have not accomplished much (anything) and have not been showing good games consistently. I was about to say that, but Cruncher got gold in one of the Teamliquid opens with a solid lineup and had beaten sjow + painuser solidly 4-1 in a showmatch, so he can't be that bad (all of those "recently", i.e. in 2011). | ||
