I have to say, I do like being able to see the players faces as they play, and the tightness and darkness of the shot.

It looks like they're scanning for missiles in a nuclear submarine. It works!

I don't know if this already was discussed. Did you notice that they share "NASLcasterA", "NASLcasterB" accounts for all casters, i.e. gretorp, incontrol, day9, tasteless, artosis? I think before grand finals, they used them also for other casters? Were they warned or blocked for account sharing by Blizzard?

If we look at the format, i don't think there is anything wrong with the Bo3 in round 16, but it should extend, so that round of 8 is Bo5 (TSL 3 style). I think that a double elimination would give us too many games (not enough time to cast all?), and if that is the case, then the TSL format is better. The Bo3 in round af 8, seems a bit anticlimactic to be honest. Hope it helps, I love watching the NASL
I thought! I thought!

Another comment: I like pretty girls as much as everyone, but it would be nice if someone like Day 9 or JP did post game interviews.

I do think the girls would be fine for pre-game interviews, or interviewing random people. But right after the game, you want to dig a little deeper.

I love watching the matches, but I can't compliment NASL for the production value of the stream. The cutting between scenes is the worst I have seen, the interviews are bad (by uninformed interviewers), the sound quality and levels of onstage stuff is not good enough and the observer is overdramatic with his cursor movement distracting the focus from the casters to his pointing.

Other than that I really like the overall setup of the tournament and I appreciate the level of play.

Ok, I've been one of the people who has been supporting NASL through all the hiccups and such, but I just have to say this ad spam has to stop. I don't run an adblocker because I like to support streamers/e-sports, but they're running ads during these interviews, and just in the last 15 minutes I have seen 5 ads. Why can't they just run the ads during actual downtime instead of interrupting the interviews which can actually be interesting?

I know that LAN events are complete sausage fests but we don't need pretty faces who have little to no clue what the game is about.

If they are going to have interviews during intermissions, atleast have someone who has an idea of what SC2 is, asking col.drewbie what his favorite team was, was dumb.

"So how many NASL events have to been to?"

To Drewbie: "Who are your favorite players?" "What's your favorite team?"

Just some highlights from this interviewer

Rachel and Anna are awkward sometimes but at least they know what they're talking about. This was just a whole new level of embarrassment. Get it together NASL.

I totally agree.

I don't think it has anything to do with being cheap or having the wrong people, or people not trying. The players and actual games are great.

The truth is, the event seems haphazardly coordinated and managed. They're just not prepared.

i keep getting a papa john's ad, and after the ad the stream never comes back. it's really frustrating b/c even if i refresh the page i get the papa john's ad.

and i don't know who was observing the july/moon series but it was very chaotic and borderline spastic. there's no reason to keep shoving around the view, when the roach battle taking place hasn't moved from the ramp for the past 15 seconds. let us watch the micro, if you have the production tab open we can keep up with the macro too. moving away from the final battle of a game to show me lings streaming in or some other nonsense is pointless and counterproductive. just let me watch the battle with some healthbars.
You're rapping about homosexuals and Vicodin, I can't sell this sh*t.

I feel sorry for this girl, to be honest. She obviously wasn't prepped well for this. At all.

They need someone to step back and direct the whole thing, no one seems to actually be sensibly organising and co-ordinating like you say.
They just decided "This would be cool" "this would be cool", and then they threw it all into their event and thought it would work, but it really doesn't.
HOLY CHECK!

Honestly they're trying to hard to impress the audience.

I think everybody would have been happier if the games started with all the casters talking before the match, during the match, and to the players after the matches.

These intro videos and interviews are all too egregious and/or embarrassing to watch.
I'd much rather have iNcontrol trolling the whole time.

Yes. There needs to be that one person that is responsible for everything, defines expectations for everyone and tells people how to do their job.

He should be the guy in the camera man's face, telling him to stop fiddling with the fucking camera;

or the guy that says, "Interviewing the audience is a fun idea, but let's send out Gretorp or someone the fans want to meet instead of Stacey-whoever-she-is."
