I sure hope everyone's interview isn't like shew's.


this is supposed to a be a professional league playing for 400k in prizes.


If I didn't know what the NASL was and saw shew's interview on youtube I would think it was an 8th grade SC2 lan for pride, of course maybe that is the target audience here, adolescent boys? I don't know
Just when I thought that I saw I ghost, I realized that it was the endo smoke

I hope they are all like Shew's, as people like him are just nameless faces to me otherwise and I will have no interest watching the competition because I know it won't be the tip-top level (GSL > All until proven otherwise) so I need to have some other reason to watch it (excitement,drama, character development). The video was clearly a bit of a parody, and it at least creates a bit of a personality for Shew.

Each to their own opinion I guess.

Nameless faces and players who aren't close to GSL level won't be participating in this for the most part. You are underestimating the top foreign players, this won't be some shitty league thats for sure.

On another note, i don't know if i like the idea of involving the top korean players/teams. This is a chance to have our own scene, but i guess integration couldn't hurt that much. It just gives us another platform to prove ourselves to them :D

so you're crossing your fingers for * a nameless player to get into the NASL over 50 deserving players because he made a .... " funny " video?


How about gaining personality from actual interviews because you win tournaments?


There will be parody and rivalries eventually. It's not going to happen in the first season necessarily - it just takes time.

I'm really just hoping the focus is getting the 50 most deserving players in the tournament.

They need 50 players. You'd have to be a really strange individual to be able to name 25 top foreign players, let alone 50. For the vast majority of viewers, even those that follow tournaments regularly, a large chunk of the players will be unknown. Not that it makes it a bad tournament, it's just reality. The vids will be cool for that.

This is correct, this is why our first criteria is results when we are going to select the players for the league.

Exactly, name 50 players that you actually 'know'. I mean the famous ones are obvious, but beyond the top 20-25, they really do become harder to name, and I am the kind of guy who is on TL every day watching streams. Never heard of Shew before this video, yet he is on LG which is a decent US team. The videos will help to create some interest for those players at the least, and there is no guarantee that every top foreigner + koreans will be filling out this tournament.

what does every foreign progamer want to do instead? Watch people who aren't as good as them compete for 100k?

To get in the running for that (100k total prize pool) don't you have to make top 16 or something, and at that point be willing to travel to California (actually harder to get to than Korea from most parts of Europe in terms of time spent travelling).

Take a look at the TLPD. There are far more than 50 well-known names, not to mention Korean players.

Well the only reason I'm talking here is because I liked the video, so I'll refer to that with what I'm going to say.

The average person who watches this tournament will not know half of the names on the list besides "hey I saw that name in a list on in a clan war", and a colourful video would surely go a long way to making you an interesting player to follow as opposed to just another guy. Not everybody is as outspoken as Incontrol and having a colourful video to create a personality for them is surely not a bad thing and not going against the professional nature of the league.

this is supposed to a be a professional league playing for 400k in prizes.


If I didn't know what the NASL was and saw shew's interview on youtube I would think it was an 8th grade SC2 lan for pride, of course maybe that is the target audience here, adolescent boys? I don't know


I hope they are all like Shew's, as people like him are just nameless faces to me otherwise and I will have no interest watching the competition because I know it won't be the tip-top level (GSL > All until proven otherwise) so I need to have some other reason to watch it (excitement,drama, character development). The video was clearly a bit of a parody, and it at least creates a bit of a personality for Shew.

Each to their own opinion I guess.

Nameless faces and players who aren't close to GSL level won't be participating in this for the most part. You are underestimating the top foreign players, this won't be some shitty league thats for sure.

On another note, i don't know if i like the idea of involving the top korean players/teams. This is a chance to have our own scene, but i guess integration couldn't hurt that much. It just gives us another platform to prove ourselves to them :D



They need 50 players. You'd have to be a really strange individual to be able to name 25 top foreign players, let alone 50. For the vast majority of viewers, even those that follow tournaments regularly, a large chunk of the players will be unknown. Not that it makes it a bad tournament, it's just reality. The vids will be cool for that.


Exactly, name 50 players that you actually 'know'. I mean the famous ones are obvious, but beyond the top 20-25, they really do become harder to name, and I am the kind of guy who is on TL every day watching streams. Never heard of Shew before this video, yet he is on LG which is a decent US team. The videos will help to create some interest for those players at the least, and there is no guarantee that every top foreigner + koreans will be filling out this tournament.


Take a look at the TLPD. There are far more than 50 well-known names, not to mention Korean players.


Well the only reason I'm talking here is because I liked the video, so I'll refer to that with what I'm going to say.

The average person who watches this tournament will not know half of the names on the list besides "hey I saw that name in a list on in a clan war", and a colourful video would surely go a long way to making you an interesting player to follow as opposed to just another guy. Not everybody is as outspoken as Incontrol and having a colourful video to create a personality for them is surely not a bad thing and not going against the professional nature of the league.


^ The average person being those who only follow GSL right?

Nothing wrong with people having personality. If you knew nothing about the NFL and only saw Terrel Owens eating the fan's popcorn or pretending to play golf with the football, you would think its unprofessional as well.

The point is, there's personalities everywhere, and thats ok it makes it exciting for people. I would rather not see league full of stone faced boring people.

shaunnn He will probably pick some players in your list and come up with an excuse that some are not good. That's a good list of top non-Korean players that will make this a very interesting league, although my list a few different players than yours
