On first glance, the GSL prize format looks better.
Interesting map pool

Prizepool is a really big issue for the players. There are so many good competing players out there, who didn't get more than 1k in Prizes in the last half year. So if you win one big tournament you are good (moneywise) and else you can probably barely cover your expenses as a progamer (if at all).
It would be good for esports if more progamers can actually make a good living and therefore prizepools should be A LOT more even distributed.

Even GSL pays 1.3k just for participating in Code S. Thats only 1 day (2 if you count up/down matches).
In NASL you have to play 9 matches and 35 players will get nothing? Thats not how a proleague should be.

My take:
Eliminated in Groupstage: 750$
Ro16: 1500$
Ro8: 2500$
4th: 5000$
3rd: 7500$
2nd: 12500$
1st: 27250$

maybe they want to have a bigger 1st/2nd prize than gsl?

75.000 out of 100.000 played out in the final game is too much in my opinion. But in the end, I do not care. ;-)

To be frank, 500$ price money guaranteed is a joke if you consider that most people will have higher travelling costs to get to the finals than that.

Edit: NVM, didn't notice the additional 500$, fail me.

uh update the op with the fact that GSL's prize money is prize covering a month of tournament, not 3 months like the NASL. if you wanna compare them, compare them accurately.

Please read the whole OP before posting.

Edit 2: Clarification: GSL take place over 3 weeks while NASL over more than 10 weeks.

I will BOLD the text, just for you. >

why do you say ''over 10 weeks'', instead of ''over 12/13 weeks''(which is the actual length of time) ?

Poor map pool. Really, NASL is one of the few leagues now with enough clout to have some international influence with their map selection and instead they sheep it up and go with GSL and ladder maps... very disappointing.

You have to consider that this first season is invite only, so if they spread out the prizes to the bottom more, many people might be crying foul.

Once you can actually say everyone in the roster has "earned their place" without a doubt, maybe a more bottom friendly prize distribution would make sense.

GSL did have several open qualifiers before all this codeA/codeS business, don't forget.

If no reliable way to give money to the top 32, maybe give some to the ones who just miss out on the last 16 in the group stages or something?

Breakdown like the following would keep a 50K prize to the winner for publicity's sake, and still divide up the wealth a bit more amongst the others.

1st $50,000
2nd $18,000
3rd $8,000
4th $5,000
5th-8th $2,250
9th-16th $1,250

But whatever, it's still looking like a great league!

This gives a nice prize pool boost to the western tournament scene. We are slowly getting there . I agree that more of the prize money should go to the lower leagues, GSL is a good example. As soon as you make it into Code S, you can actually make a living of it (almost). I think it is a great system, because it gives players financial security as long as they stay in the league.

NASL would have been a great opportunity to get some new maps out there. The long season means that even if people aren't that used to the maps to begin with they definitely will be by the time the finals roll around. Or I guess we could go with backwater gulch

WAYY too top heavy. I feel sorry for all the players who won't place 4th and higher and I think this is a step back. NASL claims its goal is to further e-sports but how do they accomplish that by rewarding only the top4 players for playing over 3 months of games? It looks like NASL's only goal is to boast about having a better 1st place prize over GSL.

Morrow got more money by going to Korea for two weeks and he never won a single game.

Very disappointing to say the least.

Wow this distribution is terrible. How the hell can there ever be an incentive to become a pro-gamer if only the very, very, very best are capable of making a living out of it?
The way as it is the already very good players will continue to strive for perfection, but the large amount of good, decent players will not be able to make enough money to pay for food and rent unless they get lucky once in a while. I've expected more from NASL.

Is that the MLG version of Metalopolis and Shattered Temple? If not, i am really disappointed. I would also like to see some iCCup maps instead of Backwater Gulch and Typhon Peaks.
