and just because your paying for something it doesn't entitle you to no commercials. I pay for sirius satellite radio and they still play commercials at times... yes it's not ideal, but it's amazing how many people are whining and being little babies about it.. with these types of attitudes e-sports is doomed in the US.. kids are getting lazier, cheaper, and feel like they should get everything for free it's pathetic.. it's like they have no concept about how a business venture actually works or that you actually need money to produce content like NASL.. | ||

I'm not going to buy it because I don't feel like I need to. I get a perfectly fine stream, and even a rebroadcast for my time zone. It's not leeching - I am being offered this! If my time didn't earn them a dollar, they wouldn't be keeping this option. I'd never buy a ticket beforehand for something like this, because its completely untested, we don't even know the format of the show and the only taste of what's to come was a disaster. If someone wants to buy a ticket now under the pretense of supporting esports, that's fine, but to have the guts to call people out on not buying one is ridiculous. | ||

I can justify things like MLG (10$ for the weekend) which has superior production capabilities and a track record of being well run. This is NASL's first run and based on what they've shown so far, i would expect it to be rough - especially when they are asking for money. Hopefully they prove me wrong. | ||

They've got sponsors to pay for the league, or are the "sponsors" really just "investors". I understand paying for Korean content in english, I do not understand paying for english content, in english. Isn't it free to watch SCBW and SC2 in Korea? Exactly, the reason why we pay for GSL is because GSL is not sponsered by english companies, so we get a fee, they get it all for free lol. Why should I have to pay for this when it is in english and will have english sponsers -.- | ||

But don't be surprised when they have to cancel the league because of not enough support, and you're left without all of the content they produce. I swear, this year could be THE year for e-sports, and the community is going to ruin it. I hate every single person that comes in here and whines about every single thing imaginable in a league that people worked their asses off to get up and running. Support NASL. Support E-Sports. Support SC2. Quote for the Truth. | ||

They're just being reasonable with their money, you don't shell out 10 $ here and 10 $ there just "because", you also have to take into account most of the community are probably teens or college students who aren't exactly known for having a lot of disposable income. | ||

I would recommend to most people to wait at least 1 day after the season starts. Better to spend $5 more once you think you will enjoy the content than regret spending $20 for something you won't watch. | ||
