Im a huge of Artosis as a commentator and im sure he would beat me any day at playing. But in what way is he qualified to be seeded in NASL? is it purely because he is a popular guy?
In a way yes. but Artosis said in his application vod that recently has been practicing a lot and if he was accepted in the NASL he'll practice a lot more. Artosis also played a lot during the beta had relatively good succes.

He also qualified for I think 1 GSL and just barely missed out on a couple other's - he is quite a skilled player already so with the added time to practice, he should be really good.

The top player from each of those groups (5 more players) make it into the 16 man tourny (15 slots full). I want to know how that 2nd group stage works. The lighter blue section of the image on the first page.
I did misunderstand. As far as I know you have the format correct already. I don't think that there is any more to it than 5 four man tournaments for the 5 spots. Is there a specific part of it that you have a question about?

After the group stage, and the top 2 have advanced, we will be taking the remaining 40 players and ranking them according to record and points. The top 20 in those rankings will be in 5 brackets of 4 players each, with the winner of these small brackets advancing to the finals.

Would NASL ever consider changing the format from "Invitational" to an open tournament or at least more qualifiers than just 1024 man tournament with the winner getting a spot?
If you read the rules carefully you will see that each Open Tournament yields 9 qualifiers. 1 seed into Ro16 the current NASL and 8 spots in the next. On top of that you have the Qualification tournament in which 8 more qualifies.
17 qualifiers of which 1 is seeded isn't that bad in a 51 person tourney. According to the current rules there will be no invites beyond the first season except for maybe filling eventual dropouts.

Care to explain why the games wont be casted from replays? Yes, there are sync issues, but when both casters are in the same room I cant see how this would be a problem, as syncing up to a time when you see it next to you is very easy. Also, the fact that you are even editing the games before showing them makes this even more smooth for the viewer atleast.
Why replays? well it makes it much more convenient for the players to schedule a time. Esp. considering you have koreans, east asians, east europeans and americans in the league.

They want to have absolutely no issues with sync, as they're can be sync issues even in the same room.
They want the casters to be as blind to the action as the viewers are.
Also, every player that applied knew they'd be playing they're games at a set time, so if they were worried about the timing they need not apply.

How does editing the games make commentating from replays smoother than commentating live?
Also, they can already schedule it whenever they want, because they commentate live, take the tape, edit it (as you were saying) and then stream it. There's just a few more people to coordinate it with (the casters), so i don't think it's such an issue. I mean, they're not forced to play a very precise time of this or that evening.

I dunno, perhaps editing out any mishaps that might happen during sync.
They can schedule it whenever they want to yeah, but if Grubby plays Moon, they will have to schedule it in a time that fits the casters(GMT-6ish), Grubby(GMT+2) and Moon(GMT +9). You do understand thats its easier to schedule a time if theres two time zones to consider, not three right?

Just wondering how long it'll be until the temporary website is sorted? It's getting rather close to the start of the tournament now and the site is kinda lacking.

We are one week away from the very first matches. Is everything tested and ready to go? Is the price for the premium stream set? How do I subscribe? Can I watch the stream on an iPad? Have the casters and production crew been practicing together, or is this going to be a "learn as we go"?
Edit: How much will it cost to enter the 1024-man open tourney?

I strongly suspect that in situations like that NASL will either a) ask the casters to sacrifice a bit of sleep for the players or b) reach out to casters that fit the time zone. At least, that would be my policy. I mean, keep in mind that we're dealing with iNcontroL and Gretorp (for the most part) here, their sleep patterns aren't exactly standard and I'm sure they can twist them around a bit.

Or they might request up front that European/Asian players in the NASL please observe and be ready to play at set times which are good for the North American-based league and its players/casters/viewers.

Is there any reason for the way the brackets are seeded the way they are in the top 16? If you look at the top 8 seeds, they go 1 3 5 7 8 6 4 2, but I usually see brackets go 1 8 4 5 2 7 3 6 (with obvious matching for bottom 8). One other possible way of doing the tournament portion is to reseed after each round. So like if 1 2 4 8 10 11 12 14 make it to Ro8, you match up 1v14, 2v12, 4v11, 8v10.

Will the vods be put on youtube, would like the oppertunity to watch in lower qaulity? Even the free 800kb stream will use too much bandwidth for me (and probably for a lot of NZers)
