No point flying people half across the world to an event if you aren't going to get all the bang for your buck. Maybe NASL should do what MLG did and have multiple teams cast the finals so people could pick their preference ? This. It feels like a bait and switch. "Lets fly 3 of the best casters in the world out to cast a few games each but we're gonna keep our amateur casters in for the big matchups!" wat? | ||

Besides, the casters do not influnce the fact that we get to watch PuMa the monster from the SC1 practice houses go up against the best BossToss in the business. Sit down, Shut the fuck up, and enjoy the epic as shit games that are about to be played. | ||

Really huge props for being able to get the shy nerds to open up and start talking so freely on camera! That's a feat in itself. And to anyone bashing on her for not knowing much about SC2 - well, she's learning ... and it's not easy at all to do improv interviews and keep it easy and flowing on live TV! Most people make things like that feel too stiff or awkward. I would LOVE to see her doing the main stage interviews next time too - I know NASL is all about "this person deserves it", but giving the BETTER person the job leads to BETTER production, over pleasing someone important's girlfriend. Same about letting the better and more popular casters cast the finals ... :/ The main problem of NASL right now is how CHEAP the event looks. With such a huge prize pool, one rightfully expects a much, much higher production level. No matter how epic Tastosis/Day9 are, the stage/booth setup is horrendous, and the sound quality still has issues even on the 3rd day. I understand there might have been financial issues, but how expensive could it have been to get someone to paint a beautiful SC2 themed background for the stage, and put lights in the player booths, as well as some appropriate spot lights for the stage?! Regarding games, my zerg heart is still heartbroken over Sen losing to MC in such a dramatic way </3 Really epic matches so far though. | ||

I love Tastosis, and do agree they are better then Gretorp/Incontrol, but they really shouldn't cast the finals. Gretorp and Incontrol have put so much work into this tournament and into their casting for the entire league. Tastosis and Day9 cast like every tournament, let Gretorp and Incontrol finish casting the league they've been working on for the past three months. Yes, it doesn't make sense that NASL is closing out their own event with potentially less quality than they could of offered. Any good company would always put customers first. At the very least, provide dual stream with dual casting like Dreamhack did so the viewers can pick themselves. I've literally seen Tastosis cast one match this whole weekend myself (admittedly I haven't seen all the matches yet due to long delays). It's such a waste of talents imo. | ||

Because the schedule on their website is several hours off. Who knows how many viewers they are losing. Theyre losing me. I made plans to go watch the finals at the Toronto meetup after work tonight. I've been looking forward to it all through this shitty week. Now I get to miss them cause NASL decides to move them up 90 mins with no advance notice. Thanks for fucking ruining my week. | ||

if you are going to have a 16players playing just a single elimination plz dont make 1h breaks after one match, its unreal for ppl viewers to get 3 days of their lives (we do have jobs and social activities) its so frustrading to just take 3 days of my weekend to watch just 16matches in total. Change the final event format, making them come so far for just one bo3 can be pointless specially if the cash pool is so big, having them play quicker and less breaks can help, can you imagine they are wainting for 8hs to play their last game (MC vs Boxer) after 10hs of waiting Basically get better production team someone with experience it looks like NASL was run by a lot of university students and things were fixed on the run, not profesional at all and you cant ask ppl to pay 25 dollars for that Its cool to have day9, tasteless and artosis, we reconize the amount of effor from incontrol and gretorp but i mean come on this is not the school were you do things for effort, you give a product we and we pay, you should give us the BEST casters available, i dont hate incontrol nor gretorp but not having the best duo casting doing the finals is a shame. Im not going to pay for the next season of NASL until i see better production value on it. | ||

I've personally enjoyed your casting thus far, people are whiny and will complain about any little thing in life. I'm glad you are casting the final as it's your last cast as an official NASL caster! | ||

game 1: gretorp+inc game 2: day9+inc game 3: day9+gretorp game 4: tasteless+artosis etc or whatever rotation you prefer, the possibilities are endless you're guaranteed 4 games, so with 5 casters they're all guaranteed to cast at least 1 game, you put tastosis on game 4 and 7 for maximum excitement if it's a 4-0 or a 4-3 there's are lots of things to complain about, but tastosis being underused isn't one of them, they've actually casted approximately 1/3 of the games in the tournament | ||

Bringing in a outsider with 0 knowledge of to what ask is just incompetent i just shows you that you got money. And then you are destroying more then you are creating.. "TylerWasieleski Tyler Wasieleski Anyone who is capable of talking on camera is either going to hit on her or troll. This is futile and I love it" I bet that you could get day9 or any of the other casters that are there to ask the question so we get some nice answers.. | ||

Yes, but there are other places which we can find spectacular games. NASL isn't offering anything dramatically unique. Amazing games and series will happen with or without NASL, so I think its sort of a moot point to talk about the value that pro starcraft players bring in a tournament. I mean, you could be watching the greatest Super Bowl in history but it would be unbearable for the viewers to sit through long waits, terrible commentary and half assed audio. | ||

However I would say for an event that has been planned for several months, and has had a considerable amount of money posted into it(I can only assume, considering the prizepool), i would say the productiuon value comes off(on the stream at least) as amateurish in a big way. The stage is so bland that my eyes hurt, the introductions are the most awkward i have ever seen, and then there is sound/camera issues en masse. It feels like a lot of people who are so and so at what they do pretend to be very good at what they do, and as a result it all falls to shambles. And why is everyones girlfriend here doing terrible interviews? really? Whatever! here's a to a kickass final! | ||

The people that are complaining about having payed for the event and getting screwed over with "lesser casters" need to realize that the ONLY thing the payed for is the higher quality for the stream and no adds. Nothing else. Stop being stupid. | ||
