Or you know, it could just be on the same level as mlg columbus or IEM or the last two dreamhacks, or homestory cup or the gsl or IPL or TLopens ffs | ||

The importance of a 'dress rehearsal' of sorts can not be understated. Get the lights on, cameras rolling. Stream it to a private channel and have a practice match between 2 anybodies and see how it all looks. Dry runs will help work out the kinks for when the real show starts, and I get the impression that this wasn't really done. (You can sort of tell by the first day volume differences between casters, shaky improv camera angles, etc). I was extremely disappointed with the glaring lights throughout the event, it had a real feel of someones camcorder in the back of the room which was unfortunate. | ||

They could have hired people who had done it before though. It being the first time is only an excuse if they hadnt seen how much other people had struggled with it. Dress rehearsals, hiring experience, etc. would have helped but werent done. The audio and set are middle school level. It doesnt take genius to set up a good schedule. Point is, you're going to be compared to your competition, and NASL failed miserably compared to every other major event in the last few months. | ||

Hating on me, gretorp or the nasl for it won't change things. Please dig deep and try to enjoy the games regardless. Don't worry, I'll enjoy them listening to music while the stream is muted. Good games are good games. Shit casting can be ignored.  User was temp banned for this post. | ||

Ask yourself that one. I think there is something to be said about the casters/production team if they are asking their viewers, who paid to watch this, to 'dig deep' to the finish. | ||

Point is, you're going to be compared to your competition, and NASL failed miserably compared to every other major event in the last few months. Honestly having to watch the NASL finals on mute is pretty bad when they have 3 of the best english commentators that they flew in for this event. It just shows that they are in no way committed to running good events and just want to watch friends ruin and fail at putting on an event. It's been about 80% downtime, MLG had less downtime with massive internet failures. They also seem completely inept at sound, stage, and basically every aspect possible. Even the caster area is terrible, with an obviously tacked on 30 dollar banner. They didn't even bother tacking it on besides at the corners so the top part droops down a bit. It's absolutely terrible and to "forgive" them is silly. It's bad, supporting bad things just leads to more bad. It's been months and months since NASL started and I still dont care to watch it, yet I'll stay up super late on occasion to catch a good night of GSL matches. It's hard to give any suggestions, because unlike MLG, NASL doesn't seem to actually be taking any of the issues seriously. The casters/crew/organizers seem to be taking the stance "it's good enough stop whining" I wouldnt call objectively looking at a bad event and saying it is bad as whining. | ||

Edit: Really incontrol, a President Bush jab? Tastless and Artosis are at this event, the undisputed best casters, they casted the semis, but for the grand finals they aren't casting? | ||

How the hell do you go through a SC2 macro game without the phrase "high yield" - sure you can say "gold minerals" but really now? These finals are insane! PuMa is making this an incredible series to watch - he is making MC look like a bronze leaguer. My only suggestion would be to make the game sounds a little higher but it doesn't bother me to much because of my love for Gretorp and iNc  | ||

If the NASL fixes this stuff and maybe also shortens the duration of the entire league a bit it should be fine. | ||

Some say they deserve it more, but NASL doesn't need to be fair, what they should strive to do is to bring the best product possible. This is not it, anyone can tell you as much. | ||
