even tho you're being honest it's quite lame to write this, kind of hating on the NASL, don't you think?

guess you guys are right, i didnt realise that it would be so bad times when i joined obviously, ive learned from my mistakes tho! which is why im withdrawing. only reason i even wrote it in public was so that maybe NASL would fix it for the future participants ( there is alot of room for improvement if they really want ) . I guess there are better ways to get my thoughts across. please ignore the comment above. .

do europeans lag that bad playing on US? I play on EU from US and it feels to me like i'm playing on US, I don't have any latency at all. I figured it was the same for Eu but obviously not.

when i was at TSL finals i practised with some europeans and i had absolutely no lag on europe, But from europe to US is a completly different story .

yup, its called the North American Star League for a reason, these scenarios where obviosly going to be the case from the start and if you dont like them then dont join the league :/

The point is, $100k is enough of a motivation for genuine good players to join the qualifiers regardless of terms. We know it, the players know it, and most importantly, NASL knows it. So because they're getting the players either way, they can afford not to care (for now at least).

In the end it's up to NASL to decide, on their own, whether they want to be fair and responsible as an organization and set up the rules that would make a series between any two players as fair as technically possible OR to completely ignore the issue because there's nothing directly forcing them to implement fair rules. Needless to say, the second decision is not classy at all.

This isn't NASL at all. They knew it would be a global league from day 1 (only KR was questionable I guess). Nobody in their right business mind would throw 100k and what I imagine are insane production costs otherwise. Korean and European invites essentially justify the investment and make the whole league/idea viable in the first place, and the league won't even make a small effort of giving them at least 1 game in a BO3 on their home servers.

I'd like to hear from more European players about the lag. Some have been pretty vocal about it (Naniwa, Adelscott, etc.) but others not as much. Also, while it was obviously terrible for some Koreans, players such as Nada often demonstrated really good banshee micro, which shouldn't be possible with too bad of a latency. So it would be interesting to hear how widespread the problems actually are.

Oh I agree. While it is the "NA" starleague, it doesn't make sense to make it disadvantageous to other regions by both time AND server played. I don't see why it wasn't feasible to try to schedule different times for different regions, like KR vs NA could play at X time where it wasn't in the middle of the night, while NA vs EU could play at Y time where it also wans't in the middle of the night/morning for either player, and lastly KR vs EU could have Z time to play that made the most sense for them. Overall good season though, glad to see a lot of my favorites making it into the playoffs and grand finals!

Dignitas fighting!

IMO the 10 seed is the easiest bracket for the 4 way tie group. If I were IdrA I would throw my tiebreaker games.

Cast from replays if that means better production values and better games, and more fair games.
