I think they are showing absolute contempt for regular SC2 fans by not showing in better quality in this grand final. The quality is absolutely trash! They have an inferior product and they are trying to rip us off? Good luck with that. 360p is good enough imo. Do you need to see the worms crawling around in the grass? It's free! If people are complaining about casters not doing this or that or SC2 being a sport or not, none if it matters if they don't "support" (by watching a FREE stream) it. Let's just hope the games are good. If not, then I guess the complainers win in the sense that NASL goes to hell. | ||

A number of the other products other people have named are free as well, and they offer higher resolutions. I would say that the NASL should at least allowed up to 480p without a ticket, that's still sub HD. | ||

I still <3 NASL and think it will be a great tournie, but with showings of 10-15ppl...not much of an atmosphere, so far Looking forward to seeing the 'electricity in the air' once people start showing, best of luck NASL | ||

Then again, the more popular something is, the more you seem to get for free since there is more money involved. I will admit that I don't know where NASL is on the scale compared to its analogues, but you see the supply numbers clear enough if you sit in front of a computer, you don't need to see the EXACT number. The casters (if they're competent) should note important stuff like supply deficits etc anyway. I get your point though, but its free and good enough. But it's just sad to watch with this kind of audience :-( | ||

Mountains of money means nothing when they aren't paired with solid planning and common sense. Guess they started too ambitiously instead of building a fanbase. Well, I hope the games will make up for everything... after all it all comes down to that. | ||

Sorry, I'm not english and I have troubles to understand what you are asking ^^ If you are asking if they have the money I'd say yes: players from NASL season 1 have already been paid (at least Darkforce, according to one of his past posts) and that prizepool was huge. You don't plan another tournament like that without having the money. If you are talking about how DH and NASL are different at spending their money, well... | ||

The issue is that it purported to be a finals preview when it actually just bashed the NASL regular season. It barely even mentioned the finals. Every finals preview will talk about what came before. There will be lots of people watching the finals that didn't watch a single game from the regular season. So it's appropriate. But generally speaking you would talk about the games more than the production/organization, so it was a little odd. But on the other hand for a big chunk of people who skipped over NASL S2, all they knew was how many technical difficulties S1 had and the entire PR-fail with the Koreans pulling out (accusing the wrong people for starters...). I guess it's unfortunately that NASL has been getting more press about NASL than the games even from the start (those application videos, select drama, ect), but it's oddly appropriate that the finals article would talk more about NASL the organization than NASL the event... I do agree that even a simple road to the finals or cursory analysis of who was favored to finish where should be mandatory in these kinds of articles though. | ||

EDIT: Gunrun came on and made the sounds 10X better and much more even, though still not even volume for the 2 casters...and now someone has changed it back W T F....this is really irritating | ||
