That list is breaking the format of # of players per team anyways, so theres room for a lot more ;o Plus, I'd say you're already missing Strifecro from EG  | ||

I can't believe western E-sports is starting this way. + Show Spoiler + All I see is a giant sham Agreed. Now that the cat is out of the bag, nobody will be putting any effort into the videos. Why would they bother? They may bother, but I think you're short-changing something that could be very very cool. Why not include 5) "a cool video"? 1, 2, 3, 4 are all pretty arbitrary (just being realistic - impossible to compare tournament results, and hard to gauge popularity accurately), so I don't see it doing any harm to the selection process. I was skeptical of the video idea at first, but I thought it was a pretty cool idea until I saw this post. | ||

We would love it if every video was funny like Avilo's or Shew's, or incredibly professional like LzGaMeR's though Yeah, I'm liking these video introductions so far. It really helps to put a face onto some of the less known players that don't make it/get casted in live tournaments. Really funny though how avilo looks and acts quite like how I imagined him from his posts here. | ||

Of course I'm not opposed to having Boxer and Nada, but I don't see why they should be considered over MC, MVP, Nestea, Bomber, Tester, etc etc | ||

The most important factor in that is "persuading" any Korean team that a 9 week long NASL is preferable over monthly GSLs. Take into account that this will be their sponsors decision more than the players, and I seriously doubt the viability of having someone like Boxer coming over. Add in that the games are going to be played on the NA server (unless they change things), so anyone playing from Korea is going to be at a serious lag disadvantage. Consider also the lack of any kind of story/rivalry that could possibly exist between players that have most likely never spoken, let alone played vs each other (Korean server vs NA). I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but the sheer logistics of having any, let alone multiple high-profile korean pro gamers in the NASL seems fairly unlikely. I'd like to think that the NASL could thrive with or without the presence of the top Koreans; it doesn't have to be a competition between the two, since the goal is spreading e-sports into the West. All in all, I think it's going to come down to the execution. It reminds me of when the MLS brought Beckham over to play for the LA Galaxy (and yes, I know he was well past his prime, but one might argue the same of boxer and nada). He was a high-profile player (possibly the most famous player short of Pele and Ronaldo), but by no means did it make US soccer noticeably any more popular, because the product (MLS) was still inferior to it's European/African/S.A. (read: non-american) counterparts. For what it's worth, I'd pay more for a Idra/Huk showdown/grudge match in the NASL than I would any combination of Koreans.. | ||

Unless it's your countryman or something how can you can connect and root for someone who in your world is nothing but a few letters on a screen? If you have no care or familiarity with players and you don't care who wins or loses how is it fun? I don't think the videos are bad, its the fact that they don't decide anything that I don't like | ||

You can't actually be serious... I would rather them base it on Results and then Popularity. The reason being first they are looking for the best players, and second they are looking for popular players so people will tune in to see them. Choosing them based on a video is just silly. Saying all of that I love the video idea and the fact that everyone has to do it is just a plus. | ||

Hell I cheer for IdrA after good game but his personality is a disaster. I really would like to see more Korean vs EU/NA Drama just watch at the IEM results. We westerners need more motivation. | ||
