Must feels good for NightEnD now, only need to win one game.

I mean NightEnD is by no means a bad player just that "the reason" they wrote or who ever did seems so comical somehow.

Yeah, HuK! Beat 'em up! I can't wait to find out who else we get to see, I hope there's even more serious competition. I'll be missing MC...

hmm pretty good for me at least, i'm quite happy with this calibre type players and considering the large pool of players plus some Koreans like rain, hero, puma i guess it will be very nice!

I will still watch this.

I will hold out for a "foreigner" to win even though there will be some awesome koreans left...

Interesting choices.

As much as I like HuK it seems a bit weird considering he didn't even attempt a qualify. And he doesn't like playing with server lag, he realizes since there's like 3 or 4 players in Korea only, that he'll be playing with cross-server lag most of the time? O_O

Hope to see them offer the spots to some of the others (Pokebunny, Lalush) who did decently in the qualifiers, and then maybe a few popular names like Destiny just to grab the viewers (even if he flamed out in round 1 of the qualifiers, lol). Though in all honesty I think it's better if you don't provide justification for the players you selected... NightEnd taking one game off Puma and Jinro's "recent success" aren't exactly fully believable (and they sort of look embarrassing) - just let us know who the players are without providing reasoning.

It's very disappointing that they are not doing another qualifier.

I can understand because they want "star players" who will hopefully help them gain back the viewership loss from losing the koreans but on the other hand, all the people that loss to koreans in the qualifier, they could of got further, they could of qualified it's very disappointing T_T

I'm so happy that Jinro is in NASL, but tbh, I don't see how they can justify letting him in based on past success. Let's be honest- they let him in because he's a fan favorite. In my eyes however, that's completely acceptable.

The NASL site is annoying for putting "good" vs "evil" with pictures of Jinro and HuK respectively. Kind of a weird way to "promote" season 2 of NASL...

it's done tongue-in-cheek. These guys running NASL know the players well.

Surely that's a pun off of HuK now being part of 'Evil' Geniuses, no?
