Yes, NASL was lucky with that. But you cant give NASL credit for it, pure luck.
Im really happy the graphics changed the last day.

Everything in NASLs control (sound, production, interview quality, etc) sucked. Everything out of NASLs control (games, crowd reaction, etc) were awesome. Let us not lose sight of these facts as we make suggestions for improvement. | ||

Temp0 was great. Anna sang out of tune and "danced" awkwardly. Why would you end such a great final series with that? | ||

And I would suggest Double elimination like HSC did. That was just drama heaven <3 Also, good for players for some comeback. All the games were awesome. Let's just remember them only- | ||

Agree with this, NASL better pay some people that are not amateurs to organize their stuff for season 2. | ||

However, for a first event, it was still quite good, and with all the troubles they've experience which they quickly fixed throughout the season, I can only assume that they'll have things working even better the second time around. I'll definitely be buying the pass for season two, $20 is nothing, and it's a lot of entertainment over three months. | ||

- Too long breaks, Too long intros. The pacing of the show (its a show right?) is really bad due to this....no need to drone on and on it took you guys over 12 hours to finish of 8 games.....in GSL that takes about 2-4 hours....pacing - More Info about the tournament in terms of scheduling, casters and easy access to brackets so ppl can plan and check out the games they wanna see.... -Everything production related (sound,lights, mics, camera etc) -A good observer Too lazy to type more and quite frankly youve had most of the major issues for weeks...it just follows you wherever you go.....wonder why? ......overall it was probably one of the worst sc2 tourneys ever to watch... I didnt even care about the games due these issues....and thats a first for me considering the players that where playing are really good.... | ||

The thing is thats still enough cause even if u fuckup everything people will watch your tournament just to see those games. but still i hope they can make a huge step forward for season 2. thank you NASL for the best finals weve seen in sc2 so far. They could have 33% of the prize money and all the big players would still come just look at MLG and all the others and used that other money to get more help in production. | ||

For a first event, assuming all the people involved had little to no experience with an event of this scope, I would say that they did an excellent job. That having been said, that is precisely where they screwed up. This should not have been the first event of this size that the majority of the people on their staff took part in. They needed a director/manager with experience. They needed experienced sound and lighting professionals. Yes, for a bunch of amateurs I'd say that they did awesome. Unfortunately, the is not the standard that they should and/or are being held to. | ||

Interviews: For Ro16 and even Ro8 matches, it is fine to have Anna interview the players as she is pretty decent at asking questions that are good enough. For semi-finals/finals, I feel like there needs to someone with better knowledge of the game interviewing the players (Day9/Artosis are the best options), as the series become larger with Bo5's, Bo7's, and the games become much less one-sided and develop into very back 'n' forth nail-biting series with victors barely edging out over their opponents. The sound was awful. I wish I could be more constructive with this point, but there were just an innumerable amount of mistakes with audio levels throughout the entire event. The first day I had to mess with my sound levels every time they were messed with behind the scenes. Several times my volume was at 100% capacity and it was still inaudible. I couldn't hear several answers to interviewer's questions, left/right speakers were imbalanced, and all-in-all it was very frustrating as a viewer. The delays. These things happen, but when viewers are kept in the dark, you are wasting a lot of their time. This isn't as huge of a deal with the existance of VOD's, but it's never a good thing (albeit unavoidable at times). All I can say here is try better next time, you did a good job near the end by filling up time with random interviews and different camera perspectives. Format: This one confuses me the most. 9 weeks of round-robin format and then single BO-3's for people traveling across the world means that for some, they come to play for 10-30 minutes and that is it. One thing that sticks out in my mind is Ret getting first seed, having to face the open bracket winner (who is almost guarenteed to be a very strong player, and ended up being so). Ret potentially missed out on a lot of money. Despite all this, I still really enjoyed the event. The semi-finals/finals were some of the best games in starcraft 2 to date (rivaling the TSL3/some GSL finals). Gretorp and Incontrol really hit their stride at this event, coming out with amazing energy, inciteful analysis, and humorous/fun chemistry. Tastosis and Day9 were great as always. I will likely be purchasing next season (if time permits), but please be better prepared for your next live event (as I'm sure you will be). | ||

I dont think it comes down to money. More about nepotism / who they hire. They just seem to not do anything competent in general and make choices less about delivering the best product and more about giving money/attention/plugs to people they like. I mean they flew in tastosis and have day9 guest, but barely use them. It seems like a lot of bad decisions and less about money. I mean yeah maybe if they spent double the money and hired competent people it would work out well, but they could have used the money they had on competent people and it would work out well anyway. It seems more like a lack of motivation to actually deliver the highest quality event. Rather make sure people they know from gosucoaching or w.e. get the jobs. I mean they basically tacked on a banner to the front of the "caster stage" and didnt even bother to make sure it didnt hang down at all. | ||

I have a feeling they didn't have a sound guy and it was just some random person who thought it would be easy to run faders and auxiliary out-put's to a stream as well as live monitor's. I don't care enough to find a contact for NASL but if anyone reads this PM me and we can talk. | ||
