i know for most of you $25 probably isn't a problem but money is really tight for me; i'm a poor working student etc. i am grateful that they are putting out content at all and i'm pretty happy with it so far and i look forward to the rest of the season, but yeah maybe a low quality/no audio/replay only/delayed release of the vods could be something you guys might consider. | ||

Also I can't believe you showed game 3 first. So so so bad, the one thing you can screw up in a post-production setup. Hire some real editors. | ||

I know due to scheduling (which I'm sure has proven to be more difficult than expected so far) it isn't possible for all matches to be cast live as they happen, but that live element is something that I just love about the GSL. I'm sure that the grand finals of the NASL will be cast live, but another thing that I love about GSL is that we get a shot of the players in their booths with their reactions to what is happening. It gives me, as a fan, more a human perspective on the player. TL;DR I like to see the player while they're playing... | ||

"i agree". i guess what im trying to say if that it really feels like 2 individual casters who happen to be watching the same game, rather than working as a team to get everything across to the viewer.

If I were to suggest anything it would be to maintain a real variety in the content (Segments, logos, interview Q's, etc). Having episodes looking/ feeling completely different from one another isn't necessarily a bad thing and it adds something special to each separate episode as well as to each division. I feel that these divisions are where some of the best games will be played and having an episode format completely dedicated to them could make for even more intense matches. But like I wrote earlier, pretty solid. | ||

On another note, I think it would be in NASL's interest to stream the games live on two separate streams. One for paying users, the other for non-paying users. It would make me feel like I'm getting my money's worth. Additionally, it is critical to get VOD's uploaded promptly, easily accessible, and labeled correctly. Too many mistakes are made and it gives a sloppy impressive of the league. | ||

2.) Both commentators jump to ridiculous conclusions quite often that never come to fruition. Overall the commentating is pretty bad, Gretorp more so than iNcontrol 3.) As someone who paid for the pass for watching the VODs, that has ultimately been a waste of money because the site is not designed to be spoiler free and VODs seem to be missing for games that happened / were recorded 5 days ago. 4.) Stream has been ridiculously unstable. I'm not a genius when it comes to streaming, but how is it that I have problems watching the NASL stream on 480 without lag with 13k viewers, but can watch say Idra's stream which will get up to like 8k viewers and I can watch that on Best. Since the games are pre-recorded and pre-commentated (unlike TSL being pre-played, but casted live). Why does it need to be streamed? Why don't you just posted the VODs the day after so we can watch them? | ||

If there really are only like 5 production people as incontrol stated, and they are perhaps overworked and not getting much sleep, and this is perhaps contributing to the varies production flaws that are being experienced... instead of advertising a $400,000 prize pool to garner more attention to an inferior production, use some of that money to hire more people and more professionally provide the tournament. I think we can all agree that seeing a top notch production is much more entertaining and will better grow esports than simply knowing that a player won more money. Also, don't perma-IP ban people from chat with no explanation or route for seeking recourse. This has made me a little bitter considering I never said anything half as offensive as the trolls and racists who I see getting ten minute time outs... | ||

There're are too many games, too many players in too long time. I wish there're some kind of micro transaction so that I can buy VODs from a certain player that I want to watch. I really don't want to waste 25$ to watch too much content that I don't care about. | ||
