Also, more TPW maps sounds really good. I love watching games on those maps as they're fresh and exciting! ^^ | ||

1) More Korean pros. I'm tuning in to watch the best non-Koreans duke it out with Koreans, and this will always be the case. To understand how utterly important this is look at why HuK, Idra, Naniwa and Stephano are so popular compared to everyone else, including many Koreans who are arguably better than them. 2) More charasmatic casters. I honestly have to medicate myself to sit through Gretorp's terrible jokes and Orb's total and utter seriousness. 3) A streamlined player line-up of only the best players; allowing for more high quality games, but less overall (this is a case of less is more) 4) Engaging down-time content that keeps me up-to-date on the schedule 5) Updated Website Design This last one's unnecessary, but a website design that doesn't look like it's something from out of a Ridley Scott movie would be nice. Best of luck. | ||

Doing both simultaneous will put a strain on resources and be absolutely too much content for a single subscriber to keep up with. Just look at GSL. They had 4 seasons before they attempted a team league. And when they did they had it as a short stand alone single elimination one week tournament. Tha'ts exactly what I will expect from NASL and nothing more. Don't do yourself in by attempting to do a 3 month SC2 team league along with a 3 month SC2 star league simultaneous. Its just way too much content! Seeing as they haven't announced Season 3 yet I think it's a valid assumption that this will happen before Season 3... | ||

1) Koreans dropping out - that was a HUGE blow to the NASL and unfortunately not bending backwards to their demands was the wrong BUSINESS DECISION to take. Like most viewers I want to see the best versus the best battle it out - not 2nd tier or 3rd tier players. So unless the top koreans are coming back in season three, I won't be buying another season or watching the NASL regular season. 2) Execution - ideas are absolutely worthless without being backed up with efficient execution. MLG started off horribly execution wise but then cleaned things up and has production quality rivalling the GSL. IPL pretty much just got it right from the get go and has impressive production quality as well. Until the NASL approaches even the same ballpark in terms of quality with MLG, GSL, and IPL, it's just going to look like a homemade amateur event in comparison. The red carpet idea was incredibly ambitious in NASL season 2 but the execution was terrible. My advice... stick to LESS AMBITIOUS ideas and focus on EXECUTION of those less ambitious ideas first. Once the execution is clean, move to more ambitious ideas. Don't put the cart before the horse. "Keep it simple stupid" should be the mantra until production quality has gotten AT LEAST ten times better. | ||

I feel exactly the opposite. | ||

I didn't like the way the Korean teams pulled out but i'm sure it cost the NASL more then it would have to to spend a little more to bring them over. I for one will not pay to watch or tune in to shitty 360p to watch Vibe vs Strelok (no offence) when I can watch any other high level calliber player playing better matches on the ladder the same night on their much better 1080P stream for free. And once again we are being told that improvements are going to be made, just like we were for season 2 and look how that turned out. Also think that there will be another game being added to this "star league", how much more work is this going to put on the producers etc etc. They have barely been succesfull with one game nevermind three. ( I really don't know if HoN is coming back for season 3, or why it was even included in season 2 so for all I know there might only be 2 games again this season) IMO empty promises are being made once again and I for one will not be shocked to see the same crappy product that has been shown to us twice already. | ||
