I'm going to claim that, "most" people that are mad enough to bitch about it, did pay to see it. People who get something for free are generally not super inclined to be overly upset about it. (see what i did there? i made an assumption like you do) | ||

I can only imagine the same with NASL. Yes, maybe this event isn't exactly the best and there are a lot of issues, but things can only get better from here. | ||

Edit: Obviously besides the "breaks" You do realize that the matches don't actually take as long as it says on the schedule? BO3s don't take an hour and a half. | ||

However, after following it I decided not to purchase it after paypal was avaliable as I already missed half of the season. This is the first time I've watched NASL in a while, and I can tell you sitting through 2 hours of delays and other problems does not make me want to purchase a Season 2 ticket, at all. I have no problem paying money, I've purchased every single thing that GOMTV has offered. The difference is, they are offering a high quality product and the problems with NASL need to be fixed if they continue to make money off their customers. | ||

You do realize that they have variable time limits and can range from a bo3 being over in 15 minutes to a bo3 being over in 2 hours. Also, add in time for the next people to setup all their equipment and warm up in the booths. | ||

MLG cleaned up their act and pulled off an extremely great event recently with Columbus, and only improve the more events they throw. I can only imagine the same with NASL. Yes, maybe this event isn't exactly the best and there are a lot of issues, but things can only get better from here. But unlike MLG, instead of offering compensation (e.g. free HD to the next event) and fronting up and apologising profusely all we have is Xeris coming in here blaming others and not accepting responsibility for a badly run tournament filled with fuck-ups. All we got is excuses and deliberate ignoring of the complaints. | ||

NASL should have put the extra money into the production value. Besides 25$ is overpriced, you can get one month of pay-tv for this. Just as an example: Usain Bolt got for his 100m gold medal at the World Championships in Athletics in 2009 only 50.000$. | ||

Hell they don't even take the hour that they scheduled the day before. Why is there suddenly more time for a BO3 when they didn't add any content? Pure stupidity. I am pissed about a few things. Technical issues happen and I can forgive them. Especially when it's your first time. But there are tons of things that are unforgivable. 1) Format: BO3s is just plain stupid. I got to see some of my favourite players play on 2 awful maps and now never again. 2) Map choices: Are you serious? The same maps for each series. How is loser's pick not the best way to go? 3) Downtime: WTF? Why am I waiting an hour in between matches? Why am I waiting more today than I was yesterday? I have to say, the most disappointing thing about this entire thing is how defensive Xeris is being. Instead of taking the constructive criticism from people in this thread, he acts all defensive and pretends everything was out of his/NASLs control. Look at the difference between you and MLG Sundance. MLG Dallas was a colossal fuckup compared to this. Almost everything failed for them. And what did Sundance do? He came out and apologized. He read forum posts/twitter/facebook everything and responded with a simple: sorry we will do better, here's your money back. He didn't come out and say: excuse 1, excuse 2, excuse 3 etc. etc. etc. Don't get me wrong, I don't want my money back (you guys clearly need it). I want you to acknowledge your faults, stop acting so defensive and tell me what you plan to fix next time. Basically, I want to be treated with respect. I've been like the biggest supporter of NASL all season long. I've constantly reminded people that it's their first tournament, GSL was a screwup at first too, everyone has problems etc. But you're making it so difficult for me to keep a positive attitude. And now I have given up on this. I was looking forward to staying in tonight and just relaxing while watching this. But I'm going to go get hammered instead. | ||

You cried about sound but even really big events like the Superbowl have some sound problems. You cried about BO3 even though GSL has BO3s. Downtime.. Are you kidding me? NASL doesn't need downtime, they don't have to refil their tanks with gas or something. It's the players that need breaks. | ||

But it isn't that hard to just play all the matches in a row. That is the main problem. The players dont need breaks, nor need the casters because they are rotated and the players only need to play 2 series max. A break wouldn't be a problem, but we dont need 1 hour breaks after every game | ||

Why did you use a version of Terminus RE not used by the GSL? Please elaborate on why you decided to use a non-standard version of a map. | ||
