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 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.
Anyway, I think we're all missing the point. Xeris said that the main criteria for choosing a player is based upon his accomplishments and not the "funny" videos. The videos are purely for entertainment and the main criteria when it comes to picking players.

Congrats, you can all name 50 players and skillfully avoid what I am talking about.
The league will be interesting no doubt. All I said in my initial post was that LGShew's video is good for the league, and tried to explain why but I seemed to be lacking in good argument... I was never trying to bring down the league. Actually, instead of trying to argue, if you read my post you will see that I was standing up to a guy who said these interesting videos were unprofessional. :D

I think it would be cool for 1 or 2 unheard of guys (albeit with some backing of results in smaller tourneys and whatnot), to get in to formulate the underdog role. Most people here can name 50 people offhand that are all top-tier players deserving of being in the NASL, it would be interesting to bring a nobody and hope he goes the Cinderella route..

I understand where you're coming from. But I think you're focusing too much on the video. Let's say moonglade submits a video and it's really dull and boring. Would you honestly choose LGShew over moonglade because Shew made a funnier and entertaining video? No, you would go with the more talented and accomplished player in moonglade.

Also, it's interesting to see the lack of notice vVv is getting in all these lists..they've got some pretty legit guys on their team, and have won their share of clan wars..(no I'm not affiliated with them)

The no name can go through the qualifier for the final spot. I don't think the person should take a spot away from a deserving player.

Of course not! The point I am making is that people who oppose the video 'cause it is unprofessional are fools, they are the kind of thing (although not at the expense of quality) that will make the scene more fun and interesting... especially to the gateway e-sport nerds like my housemates who I have been trying to get into SC2. We all want the most skilled players to make it in, but I'll be damned if they all make boring poker face videos that are shown as our pre-game 'hype'. The pre-game Korean interviews before GSL where they basically shit-talk there opponents (like where Polt said Jinro's wins were all based on luck and he deserves Code S more than him) were some of the best things to watch.

is this the "open" you guys were talking about?

Guys, nobody is being chosen based on their video... ~_~!
We're choosing based on:
1) Results
2) Results
3) Results
4) Popularity
There ya go!
The purpose of the video is to generate content and just be something thats interesting for people to see.

And to give them a cool clip for later use.

Im guessing they will use the videos to build up storylines to the players who actually get called in. They can play them to hype up rivalries before matches and such.

The video is a formality, yes. It's going to be included in the player page on our website, it's interesting, people probably want to see them, etc.

This might offend some people, but I really hope the NASL to figures out a way to get a lot more Koreans playing. No offense to anyone, but I just feel like the average skill level from 45 players outside of Korea will sort of be underwhelming (not sure about paying $25 for the vods for that).

Duckload counts. Answered in the OP:
A note on teams: A team is defined by us as two (2) or more players submitting a team application and providing a collective deposit, or as an entity that supports any number of players via sponsorships.

Not to derail, but is it just me or is team vVv not even mentioned anywhere by anyone? and they've got some players that are much better than some of the other ones I've seen people mention :D Really hope at least a few of them get in.
