... by the oldschool broodwar TL user elite, who likes to see korean faces not showing any emotion at all.
But its totally fine to be considered a B-League by those guys, still the B, C and D leagues already existing out there get some decent viewer numbers.

your sports comparison is just dumb, but k kindda understandable regarding the american sports perspective. the soccer leagues here all over europe are extremly popular in their countries and nobody watching the german league every weekend goes to the stadium with a sad face, close to tears, that he has to watch B level soccer, cause the considered best league in the world is in england. you also maybe wont believe that there are people outside of the usa who ENJOY watching ice hockey in their local leagues and still know that the best matches are played in the NHL. and those people are totally aware of that fact and will somewhat follow the NHL aswell, like we all enjoy and follow the GSL even after the NASL will be finally started.

I'd say organize everything, set up this first season to get the feel of it all before inviting koreans.
For new players and those watching the NASL just to see what it is, I'm sure they will be more interested in watching western player. Even if Koreans skillcap is a bit higher we do need more focus on the western players. HuK and Gracken are 2 NA heroes. We need more publicity for the american community, not the korean. While this sounds harsh I do believe this is the right wy to go atleast for the 1st season.
Let NASL grow in popularity and get some PR for it, make people curious about it even those not interested in e-Sports in general. This (i believe) is much easier with an all western season than having the pro scene of korea dominating NASL on the first season.

Yeah it's such a bad idea for the production to have a back story and a face to put to a name on the screen. SO TERRIBLE.

Actually its quite a smart move, now you can put faces to the names. It gets more personal.

Agreed. The good this will bring doesn't come close to the amount of trouble it'll cause.
You can record the player interviews when they come to compete just like in the GSL.

•You may create a team solely for this event
Currently we've only received two applications.
One of those two applications Team Gaseous? Lead by TLO?
=P
I wonder when they will list the teams invited and participating in the first season.

To be fair, I don't think shew's mortal starcraft 2 enemy is avilo. I think it was said in tongue in cheek. I wouldn't put too much importance on the back story as it's more about entertainment than facts. Anyway, all of us know what the starcraft 2 pros look like. Are you telling me you don't know what TLO looks like?

*** A Big Question ***
I have a question.
If gamers didn't get any notification regarding the NASL participation, meaning no direct contact before, does he need to film himself answering all the questions listed above?
I am just a little confused whether the video is required only for players who you reached in Feb.
Otherwise all types of applicants have to make the kind of a video?
Your answer would be greatly appreciated.
Best

So no, they can't record player interviews. What sort of trouble will this cause? Who in this day and age doesn't have some access to even a crappy webcam?
Don't spout off nonsense if you don't know how the league is going to work. You're not doing anyone any good.

Link please!

Um... the league is online. You actually can't do this. The players don't all have to move to California to compete.

So those who have a spot/have been invited will also make such a video before locking theyre spot?

I'm confused by this, too. Judging from naniwa's post, it seems only the people who need to apply will have to submit videos. While the invited players are off the hook.

It sounded like everyone was supposed to have a video, as they were going to use them to create more story for the players. That could be incorrect though.

I think the "invited people" will still need to submit videos and applications, since there aren't actually individual "invited people" but rather teams who have been invited to submit players. Not every player from those teams automatically gets in. They've presumably invited TL to send some players, but if TL were to send, say, Liquid'Drone, there would probably be some serious thought given to an application before they let him in.

I think you're right. Xeris sent the invitations to the teams and not individual players. I wouldn't be surprised if some players call their teammates as their rival. It's fun and it avoids controversy.
