Lots of people do. It's just that pretty much every tournament uses All-kill now. Fans of the traditional proleague style have had almost nothing to watch.

really impressed with the "totally live" change. it's more exciting—even though this really doesn't make a lot of sense, it's true for me.

What I, and many others, dislike about the NASL regular season is fact it's not live. It's almost impossible to create liveness ( for those who are familiar with John Ellis' and others research in media science) in Starcraft shows because the matches themself are indexical - the matches are physical trace of the time because of the patches. Great to see they are planning to cast the matches live. Though I am questioning the "AS LIVE" point.

Team league'll be a good chance for a lot of foreign teams to build their reps and get their names out. :D

YAYAY, NASL!

I subscribed to both seasons 1 and 2 and found them to be worth every penny.
As if I didn't need enough reasons to be excited about season 3, there you go improving again

I watched both seasons, and didn't miss the Koreans. I'm extremely happy to hear that NASL isn't going to bend over backwards to accommodate them.

Xeris - I've given the NASL my money twice and both times been extremely disappointed. The first season was plagued with terrible production quality issues; the second season got better but lighting was absolutely horrendous and the audio was not balanced most of the time. I was also unable to watch the season 2 finals because of lag. I apologize if this sounds too harsh, but compared to other tournaments like the GSL and MLG, you guys just look like amateurs who are failing miserably at putting together an awesome tournament.

While I applaud your want and desire to do more, I'd like you to take a step back and do ONE thing right before you start doing more. I'd rather watch a shorter tournament that's done very well, then ten things done really poorly.

NASL i respect what you guys want to do. I am excited to watch all the great games that you will provide, hopefully with less lag and higher production quality than ever before. There is only 1 problem, GRETORP. Gretorp is probably the worst caster in the ENTIRE scene. He cannot calmly analyze games, he always gets worked up and screws up what he is trying to say, or ends up sounding like an idiot. PLEASE cut Gretorp, AIR MORE ORB, i swear by removing gretorp your viewership will increase 2 fold , i promise you.

every single point sounds great. It looks like they listened to the feedback and adjusted what was necessary. an extra "hoorai" for the teamleague

Gretorp makes NASL unwatchable for me (and several of my friends). I feel bad because he's probably nice, and it seems like maybe it's hard for NASL to get rid of him for some reason (indeed it looks like Xeris isn't even addressing Gretorp complaints here). Just about any caster would be better--actually, I can't think of a single well-known caster who's even close to being that bad. I used to think that incontrol was bad, but he was excellent compared to Gretorp.

I was really excited about NASL and I even paid for season 2. But I barely watched any of it because every time I turned it on, Gretorp was there. Oh well.

Gretorp will cast. We are also going to be adding more casters so we'll have a nice rotation going. That's all I can say about casters right now

Damn all this Gretorp hate, I for one enjoy his casting, and he has improved a lot and will continue to do so.

Everything else looks to be a step in the right direction as well.
