Guys, nobody is being chosen based on their video... ~_~!

There ya go!

The purpose of the video is to generate content and just be something thats interesting for people to see.

Then the videos aren't interesting. Formalities are boring. This only results in fuel for people wanting qualifiers or mlg style. I can't believe western E-sports is starting this way.

All I see is a giant sham

Uh, no? I personally really liked LZGamer's video - I haven't paid close attention to him before - sure I've seen him in some tournaments here and there, but I still was very interested in his video. I wasn't a fan of most of the SC and SC2 players that I am now until I saw an interview or something of them and came to know the person behind the game.

The videos are just going to be part of the player bios on the NASL site. They're required, they aren't a major part of criteria in getting into the league (Though they may be a "tiebreaker" if they can't decide who is 'more accomplished' among spots 45-60 and need something to be a deciding factor) . Theres a big fucking difference.
Stop throwing retarded flames at this thread, seriously. I'm surprised there aren't oodles of warnings and bans going on here.

This probably has been asked before but, in regards to the videos can it just be an audio with a picture or something like that? I don't have access to a webcam or camera that can shoot a video currently ><

and it's hilarious.

Personally I think its awful, because that means the "show" is getting more important than the sport (eventually after people are getting used to it and players will freak out ever more just to get higher numbers of viewers for higher salaries). Personally I think the best of the best of the best should compete (not like the braindead ones in Men in Black though) instead of the flashy guys in costumes.

Please dont make the sport ridiculous!

No friends or family with an Iphone? They take pretty good video in controlled lighting conditions if that's your only option. I have a hard time believing in today's day and age not having access to some type of recording device. Especially if you are able to get to a computer. You even live in the US, hell you can walk to an Apple Store and make your video there. There really is no excuse if you want to be part of this.

I really hope NASL will make an effort to get specific korean players in the NASL, *cough* nada boxer *cough* It would get more people to buy premium $ $ $ if you have popular players in the NASL, so take those players into consideration Xeris.


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).


Not sure whether I misunderstood anything, but won't a big chunk of the tournament be online, with only a live-finaly to which the players are obliget to come according to contract, if they qualify for it?
In that case, it shouldn't be that bad, just tweak the GSL schedule a bit (like it has been done before), to give the players time to fly to the u.s., compete in the NASL, and fly back.

That is just 1 over-exaggerated case so I wouldn't worry about it too much. I don't know why you think it will get out of control when it hasn't in past tournaments. Once they are in, they won't need to try to get more attention because it won't matter. Besides, most people probably won't even bother going for a weird audition video anyway.

I personally love this idea of the video application. Yea of course your not going to be able to know everything about a person from a 2-3 minute video clip but that's not exactly the point.

Just watch the video's and you can tell when the people actually put some thought and energy into answering the question's. Avilo's video for instance, I personally have not heard of the player till watching his video but now that I do I hope he gets a chance to compete and show us what he brings to the game. I even had a good chuckle at the end of it. =)

How anyone could waste their energy hating on this is beyond me. It just doesn't make any logical sense. For those people I would like to say one thing. Something a wise person once said. "What you resist persists". So c'mon guys, there is enough hate going around out there today, no reason to bring it here when something truly awesome is taking place.

No.... if you don't know ANYONE who has a device capable of getting video I dunno what to tell you O_O, go to an APPLE store and use their computer to make the video, email it to yourself, then delete it? This is 2011 man.

I think NASL wants confident players. Not meeting the camera with your eyes is not good interview material, and thats just with a friend recording. In Avilo's interview he shifts in the chair the entire interview, repeating "definitely" and the same words several times.

With that said Avilo is pretty good, haven't seen too many reps. As for Shew- theres probably around ~50 other protoss's who seem to be on the same page, maybe more.

LoL at end of avilos video.

I have a question regarding Deadlines and Processes.

What is the deadline for paying out the prize money to winning players?
Has Jinro been paid?

So, I'm not a "hardcore" follower of SC2 or the GSL or anything. I do however enjoy playing casually and will check results of the GSL occasionally to see how the foreigners are doing.

From my perspective, the application videos are great. I don't know many of these players. I can guarantee there are millions of people in North America that know a whole lot less about SC2, and I can guarantee they many of them dont know any players. For this reason, giving some insight into the personality (whether you consider it unprofessional or not) is fantastic for gaining fans and some perspective into the realm of SC2.

On the Korean situation: at first, it was my opinion that it doesn't really matter whether there are Koreans involved or not. The more I think about it, however, the more I think having a few involved will be good for the entire situation. If you think about it, Foreigners going over to Korea have a hell of a time just getting there and having the opportunity to practice in that situation. If the Koreans come here, to our home turf, there will be a lot of people who want to practice their ass off and represent their home country talent to its fullest. I believe this will lead to more intense practice, dedication, and an overall improvement in western play.

Just the perspective of someone who isn't an expert or anything. I'm simply a casual follower. I assume that a large amount of the target audience will be people of similar SC knowledge as me, or perhaps even less (assuming the goal is to widely expand e-sports here)

Looking forward to NASL!
