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

that wasnt out of tune... But yeah just sort the audio out and your good imo. and the seeding for the open is a bit crazy.

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.

Well, according to SirScoots the NASL will charge every player 500 dollars for playing the next season, and they still don't know the details. So they are trying to get in cash for production.

They shouldn't type it in caps on the stream if they don't want me to use caps.
But thanks, lowercase fixed it :D

It might be time to get your hearing checked. She squawked through the entire song.

It wouldn't be an SC2 event without some sort of awkward ending. It always involves like a hot girl, some weird dude with a mic, a bunch of socially awkward gamers standing on stage not sure what to do, a few giant checks, and then just a dead stream. It is SC2 tradition.

I really really really wish they fix all the technical difficulties for next season and get rid of that rediculous sound guy! ლ(ಠ益ಠლ

Some of the best games i've seen in sc2 so far.

Day 1 - abysmal as far as production goes (video, audio..., schedule, PR on the forums, etc)

Day 2 - improvements but still very bad compared to any major LAN

Day 3 - significant improvements in every department. Some awkward moments with the singing (can be a personal preference though). The sound, while a lot better then the previous days, was still "hit and miss" (i could not hear the final interview

)

The casting was superb. I did not think much of Gretorp and InconTroll based on what i've seen in the regular season, but they have been absolutely fantastic in the finals. Now i am actually sad this combo will not continue to develop (Inc leaving)

I would consider this event as something a SC2 fan should watch. A subscription is not worth it though, particularly considering how the VODS are set up.

Congrats to NASL and i hope to see major improvements for the coming season.

EDIT: The stream stability was perfect. A big plus IMO.

As you already mentioned, there are other tournaments that are paying the players BARE MINIMUM in order to make the viewing experience better, let NASL grow their production slowly and have a prize pool worth doing this full-time for, obviously there are problems to be fixed but there is a range to choose from now, if everyone was just cutting their prize pools to pay for production it would be REALLY bad for the players.

Where do you register for a season 2 pass?

Also my biggest issue with NASL has been the sound, all through out the season. That and the mixed talent pool, but that will be better come season 2.

The song was fine, man. You clearly are trying to find every little thing to complain about you can because you are sour about it. And you're exaggerating the things you do complain about (claiming that "everything" that was in NASL's control "sucked"). I understand that it's the internet and you're anonymous and all, but you should try to be a little more level-headed.

My only complaint is the massive lag I received on Saturday and Sunday.

(but obviously with 90K viewers it isn't really anyones fault)

It's JTV's fault, but they're getting better (in my experience)

The players, games, and crowd really made up for the lackluster production value.

Great players, great games, great casters. Truly some of the best matches of the year so far.

And both Gretorp and InControl have improved a lot as casters -- casting 100-plus games a week will do that!

Need to make significant improvements every other aspect, from organization, scheduling, tournament format, communication, marketing, design and production.

No fluff.

Use the casters you fly in from korea more. inc, and gre are not as fun to watch as taste, and artosis.

The sound was horrible as fuck. How is it possible to have that shitty of quality control with the sound? fire anyone who had anything to do with the sound.

Less horrible awkward fucking singing. Get better interviewers. I mean I like to look at pretty girls and all, but im watching this to nerd out, and watch some fucking video games. Let artosis do the interviews.

QUALITY CONTROL. QUALITY CONTROL.

Fix the open bracket issue, a lot of people don't like that a player can win the open bracket then get a fair shot at first place when all the league participants put in way more time and effort (even though it doesn't make it actually easier).

Maybe put the top 2 people in from each division and then the last spot, instead of going to an open bracket player goes to the person with the best record from the league play that didn't make the top 2 of his own division.
