I'm happy to say that our website is ready to go... we hope you enjoy it (at the time I'm writing this, its not up yet but it should be up within the next hour and I'm not gonna be awake for that so w/e!) BUT, before I go to bed, I want to share with you all. Here's a sneak preview of the studio and stuff, hope you all enjoy. Also, http://nasl.tv (check in the next 30 min - 1 hour!) | ||

Can't wait to see RET rip through his group! EDIT: ATTENTION NASL: You might want to update the EG team roster to reflect Grubby's decision to part with the team. Other then that, I'm literally JAW-DROPPINGLY amazed with the website. SUCH amazing content and background on ALL the teams and players... this is truly a historic moment for eSports, and I will remember this day for the rest of my life!!! Thank you SO MUCH. You've got a lifetime subscriber right here... WELL DONE PEOPLE! | ||

Could anyone explain what exactly the colored lights are for in the studio? The ones that change color? I'm think some kind of reflection on the skin or something and then with the colors you have means to adjust. But I don't understand why they are changing so much? Greenscreen can't be it right because the backside is black? Thanks. | ||

Finally, in possibly the most intriguing storyline of Division 1, is Artosis (Check out my interview with Artosis Here <- link article NASL, why you no have Artosis interview linked D: But great work, keep it up! | ||

Perhaps one thing I would like to make note of: for me as a not native English speaker it can be sometimes somewhat stressing to read the player spotlights since it is sometimes a bit hard to distinguish between player and author If you would use different colors or sth for player speech it would be so much easier to read for me personally. just a minor thing though | ||

It's been said over and over in all the NASL threads. -.- From the FAQ on NASL.tv: "Games will not be cast from replays. The games will be cast as they are being played. After the cast, the videos will be sent for editing and will be broadcast in the evening." | ||

. There's a lot of nitpicky stuff that seem to have made it through editing (typos, some images looking stretched/blurry, etc.) but all-in-all it's looking great, and those little things should be ironed out as time passes. The layout's pretty easy to navigate and from what you have on there so far, it looks like there's going to be a lot of content to enjoy. As far as the test-run video... well, the desk looks nice enough? I'm expecting to be impressed by the production quality of the entire show, so there's no way to make any judgments based on seeing a glimpse of where the commentators will sit (which will only be one of many elements of the final product). It was a neat little behind-the-scenes. On a side note, I read some player spotlight articles, and unless I'm not looking properly, it doesn't seem like there's a listed author for the article. Normally I wouldn't go out of my way to look for it but as the articles include some first-person perspective/opinion, I was a bit surprised that there was nobody credited for the piece. Edit: I also forgot to mention that the articles are a bit disorganized. They're all up in the News section, which is fine, but it seems odd that there isn't a separate section for the written content. For example, assuming more news knocks the current articles off the front page, I'd have to go to, say, Artosis's player profile and then the news tab to find his Spotlight article. If I'm wondering who else has a Spotlight written for them, I'd have to browse each player individually and check. And I honestly have no idea how I'd find the other articles (group previews, or that "Losing" one that seems unrelated to anything else on the website, etc.) if they're knocked off the News page. If this is the finished layout for the website (don't know if it is or not) I think your articles will get a lot fewer reads due to this inconvenient accessibility issue. | ||

Especially this page: http://nasl.tv/Teams Despite following SC2 since forever I really didn't know much about the teams. Like Dignitas is based in England?! Never knew that :p Talking of which TL needs to get a higher res banner to NASL because their logo looks crap in comparison. | ||

Even if they don't observe it makes sense to enforce a time. Players are getting busier and busier as these events grow in size and really in importance (both in terms of money and prestige) and it wouldn't do to have a late player screw up another person's schedule. That said they could possibly have an observer or referee, but they will most certainly do their casts from replays, as they have stated before. | ||

After the cast, the videos will be sent for editing and will be broadcast in the evening. I destinctly remember Xeris make a post saying this is the reason they won't have sync issues like they had for the Idra Jinro showmatch. | ||

Day would also have to be in the studio every night on top of maintaining his daily. And then he would also be still doing everything else, MLG, Dreamhack etc. I don't think Day can handle NASL along with everything. | ||

I really want to know how the VODs are going to be displayed. I am not going to be able to watch the games live, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I have paid for the subscription to see these VODs. Please provide a way to access the VODs we paid for without accidentally seeing spoilers (including number of games in the BO3). | ||

Yes alot of his daylies are "noob catered" but alot of them are not, and when it comes down to tournament casting (which is what we discuss here anyways right?) I just can't see how it is "noob catered". What some people fail to see is that Day9 is often doing both shoutcasting and analytical observations during tournament casts, which can be bad for the overall casting value, but to be frank he does it because he's good at both. Shoutcasting and analyzing are not the same and should be viewed differently. I can somewhat understand if this confuses people when viewing his casting performance, but saying it's just catered to noobs is just straight up wrong imho. That he exaggerates etc is ofc an opinion I dont care much about and wasnt what I was replying to anyways. | ||

They are doing the casts live, They cast the games the day before and almost play a recording the next day with all the commentary and all their production stuff. Thats what I read could have changed since then. | ||

If Incontrol wanted to be the main caster he should have looked into making hes right hand man a well known commentating figure in Na esports DjWheat would be a good choice or even JP with Incontrols play by play and JPs rapport with the main caster would be good. I hope the Nasl all the best and thanks Xeris for posting If you really want Esports to grow we need more than 3 casters that are considered top "tier" Give them a chance I am sure everything will go very smoothly and be pretty amazing. I understand your fears but we won't last long if we only have Day[9], DjWheat, and JP Casting everything. Best of luck to everyone and can't for the exciting matches on the 12th | ||

Only thing that I would say needs to be changed (besides some spelling mistakes) are some of the profile pictures. The Startale pictures are PERFECT and that's sort of what the NASL should try to get from each player. Although there are a lot of good pictures out there (TLO, Moon, Tyler, etc) Some of them need to be changed right away though (the oGs ones are all stretched, The fanatic ones look like really crappy wallpapers, etc) Fanatic has the right concept though, they just need to replace their crappy quality player picture with a better one. I think some teams should put a little more effort into their team pictures. ex, haypros picture should have a background similar to TLO's and he can be making some sort of pose (rather than just a webcam picture) Things like that are what some spectators(like me) would like to see from a production as big as the NASL. It may not seem like a lot but with the TSL the drawings really did it for me presentation wise. | ||

Edit: As far as maintaining the website, I think little things like updating profile pictures with better shots [i.e. improving over the stretched oGs pictures] will go a long way, especially with the huge emphasis placed on the player story. Small tweaks like that made continuously over time will give your product a polished feel and keep the fans coming back. | ||

I just finished watching the Sheth interview, hes definitely one of my favorite players in the tournament based on personality, such a cool guy! =) | ||

Also some thoughts on Artosis spotlight: + Show Spoiler + Here are some quotes from this article: Soon the balance will sway back to gaming as the special events end, I get some time off, and I cut back to just commentating Code S,” Artosis said of his ability to find practice time. “I have considerably more time off right before NASL starts. When my days off begin I plan to play about 9 hours a day or so. I do have some regular practice partners and people I’m talking with constantly to level up my full understanding of Protoss, as I’m still relatively new to it. Now THAT'S what I wanted to hear! Very good news, I look forward to watch Division 1. | ||

1. Overall, looks great 2. On MC's bio, his picture is really distorted 3. It claims MC won two GSL code S seasons and got 2nd in another one. In the code S season he didn't win he lost to Jinro far earlier than the finals though. Everytime MC made it to the finals he has won. The closest he has gotten otherwise was in this most recent GSL, in which he lost in the Ro4 (and that isn't a code S tournament). EDIT: Also on the description of oGs you state "oGs partnered with North Ameican Team Liquid". I was not under the impression that TL was a North American team, having so many European players in it. On this fact I could be completely wrong though. | ||

One criticism I have is the main article thing cycles way too fast. I'm trying to read the description on one and it moves on to the next article in the cycle. Annoying! It only stays around ~6 seconds, I'd suggest 10 or even 15 seconds. Just my two cents. Really looking forward to NASL opening day! | ||

I really like Gretorps commentating. I hope he and incontrol will develop quickly as commentators. It looked like incontrol was doing the observing for the cast? Maybe it would be better to have a behind the scenes guy. Not really a huge fan of the website, I like em a bit simpler. That's just my taste though. | ||

One thing I'd like to point out: When paying, it should give you a confirmation screen saying exactly how much will be charged to your CC before you actually initiate the transaction. (For example, I wasn't 100% sure my coupon code was even being applied until I got the confirmation email.) | ||

I understand that you were going for that "SC2-style" theme, but really, have the last 5 years on the internet shown you nothing? Simplicity is the way to go in design. Look at Google, Facebook, etc. Hell, even look at GomTV.net. Great content, but the design is just unprofessional looking and off-putting. I would have to disagree. The information appears to be easy to access and digest while the general aesthetic is still eye catching and yet not intrusive. For a tournament that is trying to get off the ground, adding some flair to the site instead of reducing itself to a minimalistic and concentrated state is probably the better of the two choices. As time progresses and they have more content history to provide to the viewer, perhaps they can adjust the design to enhance the information presented rather then just look nice. But for a new major tournament trying to attract an audience, I think it succeeds. As for my critiques, from an early point of view I think perhaps some of the player images need rescaling. Also perhaps some touch-ups or some kind of uniformity to enhance the professional aspect of the game instead of as social "facebook-y" kind of look. But that last bit could be personal preference. *edit* As an aside, I really like your emphasis on story and personalizing the matches and players a bit more instead of just being a generic screen name. I think that is something you really nailed awesomely. | ||

According to Khaldor, each of the YouTube casters (Artosis, HD, Husky, TotalBiscuit, & Khaldor) are assigned one of the 5 divisions and gets to pick one of the games (not the whole series) each day to cast and post on their YouTube account. This is a great idea, imo. It gets content out on the web to lots of different eyeballs besides those that read TL. | ||

Edit: And of course the interviews are great. I liked reading Artosis' interview just to see how he feels about playing in the NASL. I guess that is a pretty obvious response, but I figured I would say it anyway. | ||

If you really want Esports to grow we need more than 3 casters that are considered top "tier" Give them a chance I am sure everything will go very smoothly and be pretty amazing. I understand your fears but we won't last long if we only have Day[9], DjWheat, and JP Casting everything. Best of luck to everyone and can't for the exciting matches on the 12th I understand we need more than Day 9/Wheat/JP in the west like i said i am a fan of Incontrol i think he's on equal or exceeds Days knowledge of the game and i love hes quick witt it's just that this is a massive tournament and from experience i know that incontrol suffers with fatigue when casting for a couple of hours and just goes quieter and quieter the longer the casts go on unlike Day that keeps the tempo and yes sometimes chats shit and muddles it up but he's always full of energy. I just hope Incontrol hasn't bitten more of than he can chew | ||

According to Khaldor, each of the YouTube casters (Artosis, HD, Husky, TotalBiscuit, & Khaldor) are assigned one of the 5 divisions and gets to pick one of the games (not the whole series) each day to cast and post on their YouTube account. This is a great idea, imo. It gets content out on the web to lots of different eyeballs besides those that read TL. Wow, thats actually pretty huge. Great way to get the NASL out to the youtube community | ||

Not sure who to point this out to, nor if you already are aware, but on the EG team page - http://nasl.tv/Teams/Roster/evil-geniuses - the writeup has Grubby and Tasteless as still part of the team. Thanks for my little shoutout though! Good luck and GET SOME NASL! | ||

Sorry to maybe sound silly, but who is giving all those money? I mean I wouldn't want this to turn out to be the biggest fail/scam of all time in e-sports history. $100.000 is a lot of money without any sponsors to contribute. | ||

That pays for Season 1 prize pool with $100,000 costs and expenses. They have private investors though that secures the $100,000 prize pool. Money made off of subscribers will be put to pay the people working the NASL. | ||

Yep I realise that, my point was that at $25 tickets, NASL won't struggle to cover costs as long as they pull the people. If it takes off and costs don't drop, then 1 of 2 things will happen: 1) Those involved in organisation will get very rich very fast or 2) So much money available to be reinvested in esports will mean it will have NO problems breaking into a more mainstream audience (and generating more revenue) I anticipate the 2nd outcome to be more likely of course, I have currently every faith in the NASL team. | ||

I went to my bank account and saw that it charged 20 instead of 25, so the pass worked. My question is, what if someone made a typo, and you clicked ok.. What it charge you 25 dollars, or would it warn you first that the pass did not work and have you delete it before you can continue? | ||

They were all out searching the globe for loose change to fund it during all the years of BW. + Show Spoiler + They've said over and over again that their sponsors don't want to be revealed at this time. | ||

I had some doubts due to the old site but this some reinforce some confidence in NASL organizers for me. Also, props for putting up player profiles, statistics pages, and player interviews up there and making the site easy to navigate. Very much looking forward to the NASL opening and if the production quality is of the level of the site, I would definitely buy an HD pass. | ||

Dude, this is just like hockey, footall, baseball any sport.. you're not gonna be able to watch every game. But..... when the tournament actually starts (Playoffs) those will be the games you wanna see. I bought the pass knowing fully that I would not be watching every game, I do look forward to watching the good ones (which i'm sure will be pointed out on TL) and the RO16. Don't be put off by the amount of games, be grateful that there will be great games that we can choose to watch. I'm pumped!! | ||

But I think we need to get out of the mindset that, if someone does not watch every match of every major SC2 tournament, then somehow they are not a "real" SC2 fan. Keep in mind that major NFL (American Football) fans only can watch about 25% of total games, and serious baseball fans probably see less than 10% of their home teams games (since there are 162 games per season and each is 3 hours long). So the fact that there are too many games for any one person to watch is evidence of e-sports maturation. | ||

I'll bet you are, and I bet you don't. When the top seeds are figured out and the elimination rounds start, that's when YOU will be happy. Until then, take it for what it is, and skip most of the regular season just like the average sports fan does with any athletic sport. | ||

While I am extremely satisfied so far, I couldn't let this little gem go unnoticed: "That pair are staring down fierce rivals in Germany’s own HasuObs and GoOdy. Both men are still going strong in the TSL with wins over Liquid’HuK and IMNesTea respectively in the First round. Strong mechanics and good game Sense mark these players as serious contenders for the top spot of group four." http://nasl.tv/News/Article/2011-04-07-division-4-preview Small grammatical errors aside, listing mechanics as one of  GoOdy's strengths? Come on now... We don't want blatantly untrue fluff in the previews. A little proofreading would be nice. | ||

I am seriously hoping that people change their commentating style to match the more mainstream sports media, e.g. playbyplay commentator + color commentator (for analysis). I really don't like this whole monologue thing for 2 mins at a time and then trading off back and forth between commentators. Maybe there's too much sc going on at one time for this to be possible, but i really think the format is a little awkward. just sayin. | ||

I'm a little worried they are banking their money on two lesser known casters, who while awesome members of the community, have little experience playing the role of a reporter. There is a pretty massive difference between an 'editorial' type position and a 'reporter' type position and while I find Incontrol hilarious, he's always been a more editorial type guy to me. Guess we will have to see, with so much hype and so much money riding on their venture, and blizzard backing it, I know everyone is probably losing much sleep getting ready. | ||

But it's nearly what we got. I go to the website, and I am utterly shocked. Clean format, easy to navigate site. At the the top is a spotlight of EG Idra, and I go and read it. While being an Idra fanatic I already know most of this stuff, I heartily appreciate the article for reiterating everything I would say to a would-be fan. I look at the bottom, and there are at least 3(probably more) different interviews I can see. The superb production value is amazing. It's truly a great event, and I am so pumped for it. Thank you NASL Edit: Omg, there are individual profiles? | ||

If you're looking for feedback, I too would like to see a more consistent quality on the player pictures (PainUser, CrunCher, ViBe, Goody look great) and some minor corrections to paragraph spacing on player/team descriptions. Overall though I think it looks clean and am very impressed. Super excited for the tournament to begin Tuesday. Eeeeeeee!!! | ||

This was the rule that they made before anyone applied for the tournament. In this situation casters will cause lag... Cause White-Ra is still in korea and thx to TSL we know that Korea to NA is now laggy. So casters would give lag to players. To be honest in this series going with replays would be fine. | ||

This is the most comprehensive group stage system I've ever heard of. The top 7 players who get out of this group system are going to be monsters, and so many beasts will come up into the next season! Such an exciting time! This website is also spectacular! | ||

Good: Looks good, easy to navigate! Very informative! Bad: Nada/MC/Zenio/Ensnare have profile pictures that need to be resized Numerous spelling and grammar errors in the player profiles (eg: it should be Mouz not mouse in HasuObs profile) Otherwise, well done! Obviously the site is the gateway to people who are buying passes and checking on stats. It is refreshingly ad and pop-up free, and I feel confident that it represents a quality product.

But, more importantly, I think you've created a website that is very functional, looks decent enough, and has cool content. I give it a 4/5. Now that you've created something good, I'm sure you're noticing it's a little more troll proof (I notice less people trolling this thread than previous nasl ones) : ) | ||

Also, if youre only going to have one NASL logo, the commentators shouldn't be blocking it. It should be above their heads or in between them or something. The way you have it now, the way you look on screen is cluttered. One area has all the action and then there is a vast open space above where nothing is really happening. | ||

I would also like to point out that NASL is outsourcing its streaming and billing via Justin.tv, a very smart move in my opinion. In contrast, MLG does all its own streaming tech and we have seen the results so far (final judgment withstanding). All of this leaves the NASL to create quality CONTENT and not have to worry about other technical issues. While I have never produced a TV show, it seems that NASL would have their hands full generating 3+ hours of content 6 days a week for 10 weeks. | ||

Echoing the picture resizing on some of the koreans to make it real nice I also feel like a little backlighting behind the interviewers would be a good idea. It looks like there is a lot of frontal light and it creates big shadows. Anyway, excited for NASL to show why its going to be awesome! | ||

It takes time and effort to Photoshop pictures, effort that isn't in infinite supply. Photoshoping the pictures would probably mean something else doesn't get done - that's kinda how those projects go. Maybe later on in the season as they get things settled they can fix the pictures ( or reinforce that players must follow directions :-\ ). After doing all that they'd probably have to get permission from the players, anyway, to post the pictures. At the end of the day, one of the players could very easily not see the e-mail or whatever and it's lost time. Not to say they shouldn't adjust the pictures to not look horrid, but it's the classic "Saying someone should do X is easier than someone actually doing X." | ||

User was warned for this post What time could they possibly pick so that both North Americans and Europeans could watch this live ON THE WEEK DAYS? Why on earth would they make the NORTH AMERICAN Star League start at 2 PM in North America (when everyone is at work) so that Europeans can watch it at 8? Pretty sure they have vods you can watch whenever you want.... On a different topic let's cut the NASL some slack for the first couple of weeks... go back and watch some GSL season 1 (or even 2) and look how horrible it was in comparison to anything recent. Even Tastosis did a pretty terrible job back in those days compared to where they are now. That being said I'm predicting that NASL is going to be a complete train wreck for a couple weeks, everyone is going to cry talking about how they're never going to watch this again, then they will learn from their mistakes, and everything will be great after that. So let's try to stay positive. | ||

And really, thats the beauty of Starcraft - its a global sport that involves different cultures and locations all over the world. Its really silly to try and say its primarily for a specific region as that is defeating the whole beauty of Starcraft. Game on NASL! Countdown to Wednesday for those of us in Europe! | ||

There will also be a rebroadcast of the show at 6pm GMT and 7pm CET every night. VoDs (Video-on-demand) will also be made available after every rebroadcast so you don't have to worry about missing your favorite games." There should be something on the frontpage that is highly visable let people know ahead of time that they are in the right spot/where the right spot is. A more promonent info saying that the frontpage is where to be or at least where links to the stream will be and a countdown to the next broadcast would be a big improvement i think. | ||

I was just coming to post that. I knew it was starting today, but had I not been a TL person following I'd think it was starting tomorrow and miss today's games. Just seems to be off a day or considering a day "archived" to soon. As some have probably mentioned it would be cool to have a countdown timer of some sorts to each days broadcast and then a link where you can click to go live once it starts. I always like that about the GSL when they did that because no matter what time zone or anything that was confusing with time I could just see "ok 4 hours, going live." Then that little button goes green and good to go. Love the website though, and I'm pumped for this. Well done guys, keep it up. | ||

I can't quite put my finger on it, but it sounds like there's something missing. Maybe it's not ambient background music, maybe it needs a short NASL intro/outro jingle. P.S. Overall, the interviews themselves are very good content wise. Good questions are asked and good answers are given. | ||
