Single elim bo3s to start out... man that's just HARSH. Especially when you consider how many games some people had to play (tiebreakers, playoff qualifier) and how long travel times will be for some. Travelling for like 20+ hours, to face the prospect of being out of the tournament after only 2 games... I dunno :/
I understand the argument of "you'll be able to watch every game" but still, I'd prefer group play or double elim over this format any day. For example I really enjoyed the DHS format with multiple streams... I mean ofc you can't watch every single game then, but the ability to watch pretty much every game/ every player I really WANTED to watch beats this easily.
I just think NASL is wasting a huge opportunity there, players like MC or BoxeR generate huge viewer interest, and one of those two will play 3 games at most. :/
lol I don't know why but zenio's interview is cracking me up. I also feel sorry for Darkforce, he thought he was lucky for getting strelok... instead he gets a Korean ^^.
Those interviews look kind of lackluster, like some shabby homemade video (which they probably are). I hope they will be redone when they arrive in the states. Nonetheless, this will be a great event, I'll definitely watch it.

EDIT: Sorry I didn't see the schedule. Weird, the NASL official site says Friday matches start at 6pm pst but they actually start a lot earlier according to a poster a few pages back.

That's a bug on the website we're going to have changed!
WhiteRa is asked to film an interview, so he decides to go to a Lake, with millions upon millions of dollars in yachts behind him. And the camera operator follows a sea gull.
I love the interviews that the NASL put on. Whether its the Koreans speaking English or the after game reviews, it really lets us connect with the players.
For all the flaws of NASL...I feel they got this part right!
Hopefully Select can do well despite his recent performances, otherwise whitera vs select will be the most onesided match >.> plus I don't want a pvp in the ro8 xD.

I think White-Ra vs MC again would be a PvP worth watching
