The one thing that tipped me over to not buy it the next season either was the fact that once the important matches started the free streams went from 480p to 360p with no information at all, thats just fucking terrible attitude towards people.

Yup exact same here.

After all the crap we put up with and continued to watch, despite failure after failure. Stream issues every single day... They go and pull that to us.

If anything, they should have REWARDED our loyalty with free 720p for the last week + finals. Not take away 480p. smh.

I remember this....people need to bring this stuff up more, it didn't receive enough attention, that's bullshit. 360 is the same as a half blind man's vision.

No, in your opinion there is nothing wrong with him.

In other peoples opinion there is.

It's personal preference and has nothing to do with looking for stuff to complain about as the NASL has plenty of that without mentioning Gretorp.

Guess what, it's a forum and people express their opinions.

There is no right or wrong on Gretorp, just personal preferences.

nasl brought americans, europeans and koreans together for an awesome competition. gsl hasn't done that.


Did you watch the world championship?


yes. they had eight foreigners, two of whom lived in korea (huk and jinro). didnt feel much like an international tournament to me. i think most of the foreigners dropped out in the first two rounds as well, so we barely even saw them. didnt it turn into an all korean tourney by the ro8 or ro4?

Just like all tournaments involving Koreans, later stage are mostly Koreans exclusively. The only reason why we don't see foreigners more is because they are not good enough. I don't really see this as fault of NASL.


i didnt say it was the fault of nasl. i said nasl felt more like an international tournament. the problem with GSL as an international tournament is that they make it so unfriendly for foreigners. they have to devote a month to living in korea, etc. etc. nasl made it easy for foreigners and koreans to participate. they are one up on gsl in that regard.

I bought it for the VODs, and they were uploaded at inconsistent times, were difficult to find, and smashed together in giant long videos rather than being broken up by games. IPL and GSL do a great job with this so there are good examples out there--not sure why they didn't do this.

I'll be watching to see if they improve the VODs, and if they do, I will probably buy another pass. But if it's anything like it was season one, I probably won't bother and will just catch a few games on the free stream when I can.

Are you on a fuck ton of crack?

Gretorp is the most amazing man alive and an even more amazing caster.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion....except you now (((:


Nice post man really enjoyed it. I am guessing I am not entitled to an opinion either because I personally thought gretorp was horrific.
I am not going to defend him just because I liked him when he was a good player, and I did. As long as he is not casting I hope he lives a long healthy life, but for now while he is casting it would not hurt my heart to hear he has a nice case of strep throat.

Thanks to the TL folks I just learned the VODs can be low quality. Why didn't NASL advertise this, I would have benn a lot more productive at work, only my work internet can handle high quality.....The VODs were annoying, JTV can be a pain to navigate especially if you want to avoid spoilers.

Agreed a dedicated single game VOD setup like GOM have would be excellent.

I bought season 1 so I'd have access to VODs of series I wanted to watch knowing I can't always watch the live stream. NASL reported justintv was working on offering VODs in qualities besides 1080p which to my knowledge never happened. With monthly bandwidth caps I can't realistically use that amount of data, therefore couldn't watch VODs and therefore never got my money's worth. Unless I have guarantees the quality option will be available I won't purchase again.


Actually VODs are in fact now available in multiple resolutions and have been for several weeks.

Can you please elaborate? I can't seem to find the multiple resolutions you're referencing.

I would buy it again just because of the matches, but Gretorp's casting wasn't quite my cup of tea. It kind of makes the games not as good to watch for me.

Still enjoyable nonetheless!

I'll stick to GSL and GSTL. I only watched a few matched from the regular season, and was not impressed with gretorp or incontrols casting.

The finals were pretty good. I'm glad they brought in tasteless and artosis. Some of issues they had made me lose faith in the organization as a whole. From what I understand (thanks to my audio engineer friends who watched too) the people in charge of sound were making mistakes that even unpaid interns would never make. The set design and the graphics are pretty shoddy as well, I can spot photoshop filters and effects that I wouldn't forgive my little brother for using nevermind someone getting paid.

Either at the start of the season they picked their jobs from a hat or someone hired their family and friends. This is why I don't buy that things will improve over time.

A lot of issues with the NASL was brought to light in the first season and condemned heavily by the TL community. I'm fairly confident that the production team can step up their game and learn from their mistakes; especially considering the strong incentive to do better and live up to the Season One finals.

I'm buying one.

i cant be fucked to follow group stages weeks after weeks cause at some point you know whos gonna win the group anyway and the groups losers play for no goddamn reason and there is no climax.
showing hours of sc2 nearly everyday with shitty production and quality just because they want to give out ''the most content''

Id rather watch a few amount of games with appealing quality and production that IPL has, we dont need 400 games in a tournament to make it interesting, we need climax and good production

I will purchase another season despite really, really disliking Gretorp's casting. I enjoy the games very much.

I will wait till i see what they will bring next chances of me buying a ticket after that grand finale are about 80%. I would love them to give me less games but overall better one's.

I did not buy it but I will buy it with a good chance this time, because THEY HAVE MKP :D And he will play on KR server if needed (the "play on NA even korean vs korean" rule was not making any sense).
But it's really a "support buy", because unless the vods are labelled and properly cut, there's a very small chance I'll watch them.

I did not buy a premium ticket for season 1 and after watching some of the regular season and most of the finals I will not be purchasing a ticket for season 2. Waste of money and would gladly spend it on GSL or MLG events where I know I'm getting a quality product.

Didn't buy the season 1 and i wont buy it next season. The broadcasting style is really stupid in my opinion. I don't like "splitting the scene" half, i.e own broadcast times for NA and EU. So that's why i even didn't watch any NASL games during the season, except the finals of course.

But that's just my opinion and i kinda understand why NASL would want to do it this way.

The prize of the season isn't much, but what i heard from the community, about all of the problems they had during the season, it can't be worth it.

how is it splitting the scene LOL if you are european then you can stay up and watch the first broadcast LOL it's not like you get IP blocked if you are from EU. They picked the time when the most people will watch for the main broadcast, and were nice enough to give a free re-stream to europeans who couldn't stay up late


I often watched the EU re-stream because the US time got eaten up by other things like spending time in the evenings with friends and my wife. Sometimes we watched the US time together while we ate dinner, other times I was able to catch a great match the next day while studying. I didn't buy it, and I don't think I would buy it ever, but I will watch ads. I don't pay for TV. I made that mistake once, but I do agree that for the content the price is reasonable. Hearing above that the VODS weren't well labeled or quick to access (30 minutes before matches start) guarantees that I won't pay, because the great thing about the VODS I watch from other sources is that I can fit them into tight time windows without trouble.

I like me some starcraft but it was a little too much for me. the finals looked pretty good but I only caught 3 games because of work. With incontrol gone from casting though i'm not sure if it'll be so hot next season. Gretorp was an okay caster but he had some trouble expressing his idea. They do need to work on casters now though since incontrol is gone
