I don't like how extremely over the top day9 can be when he casts. I mean on his dailies he's pretty mellow, then when he casts at a big event he seems to try too hard. As for NASL, you really need to cut the fluff. Most people just want to watch the games and don't want to spend 8+ hours watching only a few games. Also, as has been said, the sound really ought to improve for such a major tournament. Other than that though, I would just say everything else people are complaining about is nitpicky. Get your shit together next season. I will still say that the net result of NASL has still definately been good. We still see some great games and the players are earning some dough. It could just be a lot better. | ||

I have some qualms with that The audio was terrible throughout day1 and the delays between matches were stupid long. Kinda agree. Needs a losers bracket or something of that sort that gives people a second chance. Being #1 after 9 weeks of games (or what was it) then being out of the tournament in 15 mins is not that cool. About the complaints on production issues , I didnt really see first day so I cant comment :p | ||

I am sitting here with volume super low since the sound quality really is too terrible, thinking about muting it but then again I really like the commentating. | ||

It doesn't really make sense to me, since the winner of that is pretty much guaranteed to be a strong player. Also, since the open tournament was played after the playoffs, gives Ret even less time to prepare for his opponent than everyone else. Plus the open winner gets to get into the big tournament without going through the 9 weeks of matches that everyone else did. It just seems like the open winner has an unfair advantage. | ||

This is way wrong thinking. Do you think they have a free stream for lulz? No, it is to show those viewers that they should buy a HD pass. Or it is too show adds to them. Or it is to show viewer numbers to their current or future sponsors. So while the HD viewers do get more to say about this we others are almost as important. | ||

If he ends up winning the tourney, that would be really annoying for the other players, especially since puma didn't need to play the first 9 weeks. There is people on a short list waiting for that. | ||

It just seems like the open winner has an unfair advantage. Open winners plays as many games, is not allowed to lose any of them and does not have time to prepare for each match and opponent. He has more then earned his place among the top 16. And him winning his ro16 match so easily only confirms it was done well. | ||

I like the concept of a 'spartan' stage, and think it can work. It almost gives the event a theatrical feel. In fact, it might be far less expensive to book an actual theatre than rent an entire convention hall plus the equipment. Most decent theatres have lighting grids, sound boards, and a lot of the extra infrastructure you're spending a small fortune on. You can even hire their technicians and stage crew to help things run smoothly. The cost of taking an entirely blank space and giving it character is brutally expensive. Until you can afford it, don't. I'm not sure why you're doing this in Ontario, California versus LA. The location of a multi-day event is very important. I'm not sure what kind of spaces are available in LA, or how expensive they are, but this seems like a poor managerial decision. The coordination of all design is poorly, poorly thought out. The sponsorship banner not being flush mounted to the surface of the desk, for example, just looks sloppy. The booths look overbuilt -- the windows are far too small to get reasonable camera shots of the players, and the the trim on all the furnishing, including the casting desk, is inexplicably bulky. There should be low level lighting in the booths. Not only will you be able to capture the players, but it will be harder for the players to see the audience, in the darkness. You can be 'minimalistic' -- personally, I think the elaborate GSL sets are corny -- but the less you have, the cleaner and more consistent all the design has to be. The person operating the camera should be fired. He is singlehandedly ruining your entire broadcast with incompetence. There are moments were it looks like some is lazily bumping the camera, jumping around and vibrating the camera ... it's betrays a lackadasical, unprofessional attitude towards his responsibility. You also need cameras in far better positions for shots. Whoever was responsible for this had obviously never composed a shot or done camera set-ups in their lives. Obviously, the audio is an issue. I don't know how to fix it. My recommendation: Hire a stage manager, a stage/set designer, a graphic designer (not just production guys that know how to use photoshop) and an event planner to help design and manage your next event. The oversights and kind of mistakes being made have more to do with a lack of coordination and accountability than actual dedication or effort. Good luck, guys. | ||
