I dislike seeing 50% of prize pool for 1st place, but % wise to first, 2nd-4th prize pools are a lot better than GSL.

I don't really understand why they don't do balanced prizes.

40k + 20k + 10k + 5k + 2.5k*4 + 1.25k*8 + 0.3125k*16 = 100K

Ok giving top plays some extra bonus is alright, but it's very skewed towards top 4.

I like the rotating map pool, even if they have a few questionable maps in it (haven't really seen many games played on them though to see how they'll play.)

One problem I have weith NASL group play is if you are half way through season, lost everything with no real chance of making top 16, why bother training hard for specific matchups for rest of season? Probably better training for other tournaments.

I'm not saying people will throw games, but might not train as hard as they otherwise would.

GSL Code S:

$44480 + $17790 + $4450 + $4450 + $2670 + $1780 + $1330 = 76950

Why does it say $117370?

Because the last three sums are given to all the players who get like 5-8th then 9-16th and then 17-32nd I believe. So everyone who is 17-32 gets 1330$

-edit-

beaten 3 times over

-original-

$44480 + $17790 + $4450 + $4450 + $2670*4 + $1780*8 + $1330*16 = 117370

5th-8th place is 2670 each so its 10680 total

The two top players taking 3/4 of the prize pool is pretty shocking... especially when the prize pool is that large.
Also I'm not sure if back water gulch and crossfire are league ready to be honest..

Prize distribution is bad, diff map pool breeds inconsistency. The map diversity and the glory of having a $50k 1rd prize is good for spectators though.

NASL said they'd use the maps that the community was pushing for the most, I had figured they'd follow suit from the GSL and MLG map pools :/

Are the maps being used the Blizzard versions or are they the MLG/TSL/GSL versions?

I hope the prize pool gets redistributed for the next seasons. At Mlg dallas total prize pool was 14k and 5th place won 1k, at an event with ~7x the prize pool the 5th place money didn't change almost at all.

I guess its not a big deal to spectators but it seems unfair to the players that don't place in the top 4, which will without doubt be very very difficult. If ESPORTS continues to take off im sure it will level out eventually though.

I don't think Typhon is too bad, but backwater is another story...

i really like what they are doing for e-sports only concern is that they were able to figure out a way to stream to 50k people at once and not end up like mlg. Gogo NASL!

Yeah I'm not too worried about it just yet. The scene is just getting to this level now so I'm sure future tournaments will learn that size of prize pool matters more than how much money #1 is taking home

The pool was probably decided before MLG happened. Though I remember on SOTG when diamond asked a question about chronoboost JP introduced him as the head of Iccup and Incontrol said "oh shit." So I really doubt NASL will ever want to use an iccup map he probably wasn't a fan of testbug being at MLG.

A couple questions:

-Why no iCCup maps? They're really solid
-No Xel'naga fortress? Dual sight?
-Why pick backwater gulch?

My thoughts on the money is that given NASL is a 3 month season and the prize money is so stacked, yet for the amount of content it'll be putting out not the money is not necessarily that excessive or extraordinary, players who aren't seriously contending for a top 4 spot better hope that NASL doesn't monopolise the scene anytime soon because for them the real money still lies in the myriad smaller tournaments that NASL could affect.

The maps are ehhh, whatever. I know Backwater and Typhon aren't super popular, but they also aren't super-explored at high levels either.
