I thought Xeris said there is no cap on the amount of koreans participating in NASL. Why wouldn't he invite them? Incontrol mentioned that NASL wanted the best players to participate in the league, so I bet we'll see players like oGsMC, IMMvp, etc be in the league.
That is what I am hoping, but the way the Q&A starts with saying "THIS IS NOT THE GSL, WE WON'T BRING KOREANS OVER" worries me that they may not be making an honest effort to bring the best players in the world into this tournament.
If this tournament ends up missing the majority of top Koreans, it won't really hold my interest. Crossing my fingers though, seeing people like oGsMC competing of foreigner soil would be really exciting.

Koreans: We're not GSL. Bringing in all the Koreans will just make this event the GSL. We are focusing on the growth of Western ESPORTS, by providing players and storylines that are more relatable to our audience. That being said there is no CAP on the number of Koreans who are eligible to participate in this tournament.
I mean NASL won't actively bring Koreans in, but they eligible should they apply.

I apologize if I offended anyone, I wasn't trying to be rude, but it just caught me off guard, not really what I was expecting. Although this is just the first video, we'll see how the others come out

Xeris, can I be considered for this league or will this rule mess everything up?
My team Check-Six Gaming (www.check6gaming.com) has multiple players from different games but only 1 starcraft player (Me) right now. In the future we are going to pick up more SC2 players but I don't think its very fair that I am not allowed to apply when I am clearly on a legitimate team with sponsors. Please let me know, thank you!

I can't see why not. In all honesty I don't think they can say no to you. You meet all the criteria

NASL would be shooting themselves in the foot if they don't invite the Koreans. 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.

do you meet all if the requirements?
Yeah, I'm on a team and whatnot, I made sure before I applied. I wish I would get a reply, I've pmed Xeris as well, but no response yet.

I think the "entity that supports any number of players via sponsorships" definitely covers your case dude.

No need to apologize, just look at the dates and it will be much clearer.
- Player Videos (direct approach) due: MARCH 13th, 2011 11:59 p.m. PST (hype) - Players notified of acceptance/rejection: MARCH 18th, 2011 11:59 p.m. PST - $250 security deposit per player due: MARCH 20th, 2011 11:59 p.m. PST (professionalism)
Im really looking forward to these interview vids, I feel like it's going to make the NASL much more emotionally exciting because we know the players as people instead of names.
Damn these interviews are going to be awesome. I can't wait to see all kinds of different personalities and how they do their interview. I hope CatZ sings in his.

I thought this was going to be a professional league? That kid doesn't seem very professional to me.
You are mad at an 18 year old for having fun with an interview process that is SUPPOSED to be entertaining? A professional league doesn't mean no levity, it means that it runs properly, it is high-quality, it does what it says it will do, and it expects REASONABLE behavior. Calling out someone as loud and whiny as Avilo is perfectly reasonable as long as you are sane.
Please, like the other random players around the forum, stop perpetuating the blind hate, or that I "am something" when the only thing I ever did to get flak from people is be outspoken about balance during a beta. Yes, a beta, of all things, in which you're supposed to give feedback.
So i'd appreciate it if you and every other random person that wants to jump on hate bandwagons would help put an end to it !

I think you should extend that to at least a week.
I think the players may have already been picked, or contacted about the fees. I highly doubt they are going to let top teams/players sign up on their own when they already want the BEST players there. Probably just a way to build the suspense for all the players who would love a chance, but wont get it. But yea the amount of time given is pretty low and should increase the deadline. but like i said they probably have ALL the people they want competing on board already.
was looking through the vote pages, and from the looks of it, there is a couple of double entries, for example ST_July is on there twice should probably fix that.
