However because of the slow uploads sometimes(Tyler vs Idra was like 3-4 days late) and the terrible vodsystem i'm not even considering it for now. yeah, their vods are pretty bad and slow. i love how i can watch gsl the next day before i am spoilered through various threads. | ||

Of course you can like them both I was just expressing why I would not be purchasing the NASL season pass. | ||

They should give MC and PuMA an extra $25,000 for saving their ass. | ||

I advised them that iof Gretorp commentates season 2 then i won't be shelling out money because i have to turn down the volume as i can not tolerate his commentating. He improved but his use of the word extremely, for every single event on non even drives me up the wall. All in all it's really a very amateurish production and one that i won't pay for again unless they get their act together. Many say they improved, and they did, but let's face it, they couldn't have gotten any worse. | ||

Everything else, pretty decent. I can even forgive all the technical hiccups of the finals. It was their first time, you have to have patience with these things. The games were great for the most part, so what's to complain about? And I LOVE that MC didn't win, yay random Terran! | ||

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. It was intermittent for a while as Justin.TV was in beta with the technology, but I believe it's been consistently up and running for a few weeks now. We were very straight up with the community that we had requested this capability with Justin.TV right from the Season's start, and that JTV was aware of the request but that it was relatively low on their list of things to do with respect to making sure the live stream functioned properly. They got all of that squared away about 2/3 of the way through the season then tackled the VODs. I think they've done a stellar job in answering your request in a relatively short period of time. | ||

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 (((: | ||

- They did a fucking terrible job with ads constantly popping up in the middle of games/talking. (Pretty sure I could do better production spending a little time searching google.) - I hoped they would get better and wanted to support a developing NA scene. - Some of the players looked quite promising, and I hoped the games would be good. My thoughts at the end of the season: - The casting and production significantly improved since the first week. The casting is now something I will listen to. The production is still embarrassingly unstable. When it's a good day, it's ok. When it's a bad day, it's unwatchable. - I have extremely low expectations for the coming season now that Incontrol is leaving. He was one of the only people who consistently interacted with the community about NASL (not particularly professionally, which I found disappointing, but he's human too, and I think he has good intentions). Furthermore, as people pointed out in the NASL finals thread, it seems like other people on staff just don't know sc2 that well. Backwater Gulch wtf? - The games turned out to be disappointing. It was nice to have games to watch every evening while at work, but honestly a lot of games were just kinda... meh. I would rather watch a daily about PvT (as a zerg), or just watch Huk's stream and listen to bad music than stare blankly at the NASL matches. I think it was a combination of a long season, not the best players (as in not everyone was really deserving), and a lot of games. It became redundant. - The season felt like it didn't matter. People played all those games, showed up at the finals, and got knocked out in one Bo3. The only games that really excited me at the finals were... the championship games (which were fucking awesome). - The website was hard to use. I constantly had to go to Jtv to log in to my account, and the vods were really poorly done. My conclusion: I might tune in to watch a specific player or two next season. I MIGHT buy another pass once the season starts if the players are better and the season is shorter and actually matters. It is most likely I will watch some of Sheth's games, and then the finals on the free stream. | ||

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. | ||

This was one of the most requested thing in the community from day 1 and yet NASL failed to oblige. Too bad. | ||
