Nitpicking or not, there are some valid points in there and it would be foolish to ignore them just because of the rapidity of their emergence.


I don't see anything valid or worth worrying about yet. Sorry, no offense.
There's no S in KT. :P

They ABSOLUTELY need a dedicated observer. They're both spending too much time observing their own things and they're losing synergy and synchronization because of it.

I'd like Incontrol to be more positive. A bias is perfectly fine and interesting, but instead of focusing on one player's mistakes, he could instead be talking about how the other player is taking advantage of those mistakes. Game 3 of Moon v Grubby was a great game to watch, but Inc was dismayed after-wards which completely drains the hype. Just imagine what a BW Starleague caster would have done after that amazing comeback. It certainly wouldn't involve saying it's time to go lay down.

1.- No ingame music. The music gives a nice atmosphere while watching the matches.
2.- No 3D portraits
3.- No score display
4.- Better microphone quality for the casters
5.- More hype! (maybe music while they're talking)
6.- Avoid showing the lobby screen. (some like to see the pre-game chat like me but i guess some people don't)
7.- Instead of doing player profiles in one big batch at the start, put them inbetween sets
8.- Justin.tv logo is over the stats tabs (when stream is not in fullscreen)
9.- Put an observer in there so the commentators can focus on commentating. (i don't know if this is already how they're doing it)
10.- Disproportionate focus on some of the players activity.
11.- Improve editing all around. Obvious cuts between banter/into game.
12.- Stream is too bright for some people. (lighting on the casters too)

1 - please don't
2 - who cares?
3 - yep
4 - yep
5 - more hype = more talking before the games and that was waayyyyyyyyy too much already. Hype also reminds me of the HUGE HEADLINES of your basic tabloid newspaper and thus it is like artificial and exaggerated drama ... which is bad.
6 - who cares?
7 - who cares? Americans are too much in love with their statistics ...
8 - hmmm ... if you mean the LIVE logo you might want to stop moving your mouse over the screen
9 - even the GSL had to work on their observing, I would think they know this kinda obvious thing.
10 - but but but you wanted more hype ...
11 - everyone is allowed to improve
12 - no idea

The only thing I have to add for improvement is: Skip / reduce the stupid hype (player facts) before the games ... you will be boring people before long if you repeat yourself every week with the same stupid stuff (I think everyone KNOWS TLO is creative and somewhat unpredictable ...).
If you cant say what you're meaning, you can never mean what you're saying.

Honestly, I've enjoyed TSL much more than the NASL...

And TSL doesn't even show the commentators.

I think NASL can take a lot of pointers from TSL and GSL.

Better Mic's.

Music ingame please... I want to hear the Terran theme, and I want to be in the zone if I'm watching a tourney.

Commentators aren't top of the notch (just personal preference, I guess)
They did a poor job hyping up the matches, and the pregame talk was WAY TOO LONG. booooring.

To be honest, if you could "replay (not vod)" at a time conveniant to SEA/KR you might get alot more viewers purely through that however this may make it conflict with GSL's.

I do not know why but I dislike viewing vods but LOVE watching live, to the point where if its not live I would rather read a battle report than watch the VOD.

but this is probably just me being picky. I have yet to watch any of it but I might just buy a ticket to watch my fav players tear it up.



VODs to me are annoying simply because I'm impatient, I like to skip through boring parts and it kills it for me... But that's my own problem. ;P


To go back on topic, observers would be nice especially (imo) if the casters also follow the observer's screen instead of having their own screen so we don't actually see what they're commentating on.

I'm not ready to throw Gretorp under the bus right(let's give the guy a chance to improve after just one night) now but I strongly hope he can improve his casting. I feel Incontrol is the better of the two and basically is carrying the two. Maybe ditch the fake excitement like others in the thread said and maybe they can try practice casting and putting vods on youtube for comments? I have high hopes of NASL and it would suck if it got dragged down by poor casting.

Wow, lots of negativity in this thread.

Do people not remember how bad Tastosis was in the beginning of GSL? Or how bad the observer was when he first starting observing for Tasteless? Or how bad the GSL stream was at first?

Dreamhack set the bar high, and I feel with time the NASL will get there. This is up before the first day is even over, and in my honest opinion that astonishes me. Does no one have patience? Does everyone want everything right now and if it's not perfect then fuck you?

Calm down. Give it time. Give Incontrol and Gretorp time. Give the NASL time.

Patience is a virtue, and people don't seem to remember this.

That being said, things they can fix in the now and not over time:

- Music. Too quiet, either in game music or music inbetween games. Something.
- Cast brightness. For some reason it seems like the gamma is too high, maybe it's just be.

Everything else has been great so far and has lived up to the hype. Great games, and good luck NASL.
Looks like I picked the wrong week the quit sniffing glue

You're definitely a picky graphic designer. <3 (I thought they looked pretty good tbh, and I'm the guy with no graphic design experience so my opinion beats yours )

only issue I see so far is Gretorp's mic volume. he needs to turn that down. Dont stop the excitement, just control the mic..

Get some kinda compressor mic.

They need limiters/compressors to fix the levels and make sound good when the casters are talking loud or yelling.

To those who are complaining about casters its their first time you need to give them time man. Considering its the first day ever for NASL I think it's really good compared to other more seasoned competitions eg.MLG and they can only improve from here
