Please let us hear more from the audience! When players are being introduced I want to hear some noise and as I understand there was noise but none that any microphone really picked up on. I could only hear crickets when MC entered and did his fist pumping ceremony thing which made the whole scene rather awkward and dull instead of exciting.

So you're telling us there was never one occasion in the history of Starcraft where a player who was down 1-2 after the third game of a Bo5 came back to win 3-2 ?
It's just basic logic : the more games you play, the less chances the inferior player has of creating an upset.

i understand this, but my argument is more like this: a progamer will never lose a bo3 and then say, "if this was a bo5, i would've definitely won." it's stupid to think that players who got eliminated in a bo3 deserve a bo5 just because they lost in a disappointing 0-2 manner. a bo3 in no way, shape or form is unfair to either competitor.

it seems really odd to me that they spend 3 months doing this huge group play setup to find the best players of each group, then let people fall out of the finals in 15 mins due to single elimination.

i want to watch this on my tv with a few friends tomorrow but i'm scared because it will make starcraft look so bad for them if there is still tons of issues (they have never watched it before on a professional level)

This I find very important to note. As I said before, nobody actually expects a perfect product, but this isn't just not perfect, there are a large number of amateur-ish problems. There was enough time during the 10 weeks of NASL to hire somebody who knows what they're doing. You are charging the same/more than all the other (more professional) events, yet you do not deliver similarly.
The only reason why people are defending this is that eSports as a business model is relatively young (at least outside of Korea), yet I don't think it's the right attitude to allow these problems to happen just because "well, it's the first time".

Also, the bracket on the nasl.tv website is not updated - I had to go to TeamLiquid to check the results of the first day.

man, NASL did 1 BIG mistake: They didn't hire TL forum poster. It seems like they exactly know how things work and could solve all problems in the world.....

One of the big fault imo that's not yet posted is the map selection.

See all game 1 and 2 on the same map is so boring. Let the loser pick the map and random select the first map or choose the first map in some way for every match.

I have to agree with this guy. Xelnaga, then cross fire got a little boring for all the matches in my humble opinion.

Wait, what?

I'm pretty sure this isn't true. The $25 pass is for the entire season, there's no way they're charging extra to get access to the finals. There isn't even such a subscription option on the NASL site.

Edit to add: I can confirm that the season pass gives you access to the VODs. I'm watching them right now.

great post, I couldn't agree more there was slow progress made throughout the regular season but even by the end there was still a noticeable lack of polish. I hope they give their whole production gets a good look at in the offseason to work on improving the quality of their product.

TBH we don't need to tell them, if they can't work it out then SURELY thats their fuckup.

Protip : get one dude to test the stream as an audience before going live, and we would of have known the sound was imba

Could we have an option in the poll for GSL groups in the Ro16? It's more exciting because every game matters and less time consuming than a full round robin! It also means there's never going to be a need for tiebreakers.

GSL groups only appears to take less time because GSL has 4 booths, so 2 players are always ready to go. It wouldn't work with 2 booths, it would take forever to play all the games with all the switching in and out
