Er..no..?
Don't think anyone complains about Tastosis.
Apollo, day9, DJwheat etc do a fantastic job and the crowd can tell. They are one of the reasons why MLG is so successful.

Came in the thread expecting "hype" or a preview on the NASL finals. Got a rant about how NASL regular season sucks.

0/10

If it's news about finals, write about finals. If it's an article about the reg season, write about that. Don't use this as a way to vent your gripes/frustrations with NASL, TBFH.

it doesnt really say that your an early game player either though :D. it says how good your macro is, but thats not the same as being a macro player. its true that if you float 1000 minerals at 4 mins then your timing attack is going to suck. but floating 1k at 4 mins but then playing a "macro game" would suck too. high sq =~good macro, it doesnt say anything about if you rush or sit back and defence it. obviously its gets harder to keep your sq high the longer your average game is but that added information is needed before making any judgement. this is part of what makes idra so impressive with macro. not only does he has the highest sq but his average game length is the highest.

well its been a pretty dissapointing regular season (especially viewership wise) since the regular season is like 90% of what NASL is it makes sense to talk about what has happened, and how its important for them to make a good impression for these finals, going into season 3 and beyond.

IMO already off to a poor start with sc2 starting so late. looks like its about to start though , finally.

I decided to pay for this weekend, because im going to be in and out alot this weekend, so i hope the vods are posted in a timely manner so i will beable to catch up on day 1 late tonight, and be totally caught up going into day 2.

for the people comparing NASL to dreamhack, thats apples to oranges

and im sure many people will immediately say im wrong without reading any farther but ehre goes
the main season of NASL isnt like any other tournament its basically a couple months long group play its basically like the first 2 days of MLG stretched out for months

then theres the finals with is the oranges to dreamhacks oranges the finals have good casters, good games, good venue, good entertainment like the live shows going on

i dont get how people can complain about the casters when DjWheat, Day[9], mr.bitter, husky and rotterdam will be there so you cant say the casting will be terrible

the players are nothing short of spectacular and are the lineup youd expect from IPLs and dreamhacks so you cant complain about the talent, imo its about the best line up you can get with the bulk of koreans refusing to join unless the path is paved with money

its 10$ if you buy a pass now so you cant really complain about the price

you cant complain (yet) about the stream since we havent seen the stream yet

so really i dont see any reasons to complain about this weekend sure the regular season may have flaws, and your welcome to skip it, but the finals are looking amazing

well i prefer the nasl format over the one weekend things like dreamhack, because you can prepare for your opponent, which means more interesting games, while these weekend events are just standard skill, with only small adaptions from the general playstyle (thats why you see such walkthroughs in mlg and stuff).
Hehe atleast that what i was used too. people don't seem to prepare anymore for the opponent and just do their standard thing because sc2 consists out of 10 tournaments a day, with a few exceptions in the gsl and outside of it.
I don't mind and i have the gsl for the really cool games, but it would be nice if nasl would turn out the same way hehe, so i am cheering for them.

The issue is the product is still inarguably inferior to certain competitors without even making the attempt to compete, even if you pull out Dreamhack because it's a shorter event, IPL does long running events with high quality streams and VODs. While it's understandable that one is backed by a major organization, in terms of comparing products, that doesn't matter, one is charging for an inferior product.

Oh shut up, an off-line event with this great line-up fighting for $100k and with so many good casters deserves a certain amount of hype no matter what. Take your hate elsewhere.
