Sure the absolute best arte probably gonna be korean, but right up there are Jinro and IdrA, and personally I don´t see a difference between IdrA winning game after game and say MKP winning game after game. In fact, I´d rather see MKP than IdrA due to the playstyle. Well, Jinro and IdrA are mainly that good, because they trained in Korea. Weren't they even included in the "korean invites" for that very tournament? ^^ Anyways, I do hope that the NASL will gather the very best of all over the world, like incontrol wished for in one of the first interviews about NASL. | ||

We appreciate everyone's concern and want to say that we will do what we can to get Koreans in the league and accommodate them as best we can. If there's only two spots left, cut Nestea and MvP for Shew and avilo. Koreans don't know shit about Pro-Wrestling theatrics. :p | ||

The GSL was an open tournament, with open qualifiers for all 64 spots. This is an invitational where anyone (with a means to do so) can apply, but only 50 players will be selected to compete. The open part of this tournament is only for the 1 spot in the 16 man LAN finals. | ||

NA does not include Korea, hence no Korean. And saying "just get one translator for the site" is a bit silly. Why not get one Swahili translator? One Farsi translator? One Swedish translator? One Norwegian? German? French? Italian? You could say "But Koreans dominate the scene!" But then that is asking for special treatment. English is the language of the internet, it's generally accepted by everyone outside of China, Korea, and Japan. Edit: This all just reminds me of a WoW vid made by a french guy, in French, with no English subtitles, and Swedish and German people were saying "why isn't this in English? Everyone accepts that as the language of the internet". When you want to create a new top tier league, you contact directly the best actors in the world of the domain your are creating a league in and make sure they participate. I don't give a shit about wether Player X or Y can brag on a video and smacktalk, all I am interested in is seeing the best SC2 players in the world compete against each other. If NASL is just "Top EU/US" player one base all-in and cheese chaining, that is just a shame. Wether you like it or not, EU/US SC2 players are getting raped hard by every mid level Korean, and the recent macro games with SanZenith for example were astonishing and highly spectacular. That's the kind of level I love to watch, amazing micro/macro awareness etc... | ||

It would directly contradict their mission of bringing the best players in the world to participate in NASL. Even TSL, IEM, Dreamhack invited Koreans to their tournaments. I doubt NASL would risk alienating part of the starcraft community by not having top Korean players participate. It's the american way... have a bunch of americans compete for ''world titles'' :D. | ||

But its totally fine to be considered a B-League by those guys, still the B, C and D leagues already existing out there get some decent viewer numbers. your sports comparison is just dumb, but k kindda understandable regarding the american sports perspective. the soccer leagues here all over europe are extremly popular in their countries and nobody watching the german league every weekend goes to the stadium with a sad face, close to tears, that he has to watch B level soccer, cause the considered best league in the world is in england. you also maybe wont believe that there are people outside of the usa who ENJOY watching ice hockey in their local leagues and still know that the best matches are played in the NHL. and those people are totally aware of that fact and will somewhat follow the NHL aswell, like we all enjoy and follow the GSL even after the NASL will be finally started. Even in Canada, we love our juniors. American spectator mentality of either be the big leagues or nothing is quite absurd. And NASL isn't groomed to be minors either. IEM is still a single tournament, and why, IdrA was consistently at the top of Korean scene, does his IEM performance discounts his skill by that much?

He is in "korean invites" due to his inability to qualify online. It is quite clear that people in Korea have terrible connections to both EU and NA servers, barring them from a fair qualification otherwise. | ||

You must have not been following the GSL. There has been drama between Idra and Clide/Zenio, Jinro and Polt, and in the Code S selection process, etc. And of course there are always the ceremonies like Leenock crushing a coca-cola can after he beat Coca. | ||
