There's a huge difference between not living up to expectations and failing to deliver something. I'm sure you'll "deliver." But what kind of shape will it come in? | ||

I'm sure I'm not the only one that considers whether I like the casters a major reason for why I watch games. | ||

Perhaps he wants to keep it in the dark until he actually announces it formally, as in tomorrow? Or perhaps he hasn't locked down the casters for Season 3 and doesn't want to promise a certain caster only to have them step out before the season begins?

This is pretty uncalled for, I'll admit I was a huge critic of NASL Seasons 1 and 2, and I'd even go as far as to say I was unnecessarily harsh on some aspects, but this just seems like......tournament racism. | ||

Enough with the brown nosing. Most of the criticisms against NASL are legit. For example, in Season 1 they changed it from 480p to 360p without notifying the public. Furthermore, they ignored the outcries and kept 360p in season 2. In Season 1, people complained that NASL wasn't announcing walkovers ahead of time. In Season 2, NASL still hasn't changed and walkovers were kept under wraps. In Season 1, some games were played a couple of weeks in advance. People complained. In Season 2, the majority of the games were played 3-4 weeks before the airing date. These are just a couple of examples off the top of my head. There's a history and a track record of NASL promising to deliver a great product from one season into the next, but we are always disappointed. Waxangel is right. NASL has to prove it to us that this time it is different. I'm tired of being let down and disappointed. I'll wait and see. | ||

Waxangel's words actually are less harsh than criticisms many other forumgoers voice, but his affiliation with Teamliquid gives them a different tone. I don't think he is actually trying to sound as nasty as people may interpret it as. | ||

NASL has to prove it to us that this time it is different. I'm tired of being let down and disappointed. I'll wait and see. Like I said, I was a huge critic of both Seasons 1 and 2. Hell, all you have to do is go back in time like a month to see me railing on NASL for things like listing MajOr as a TSL player. Season 2 was absolutely terrible as far as the regular season goes, and it would appear that they've learned the lesson. Xeris already left Fnatic so he could focus more on NASL (and other projects) and I think in 2012 NASL is looking to pull a complete 180. Furthermore, even if you're not a huge fan of NASL, there is no reason to come into their 2012 announcement thread (where they're trying to fix just about everything you seem to dislike about it) and shit all over it. Have a little class. | ||

If you're trying to infer that the delays were caused because they were trying to avoid walkovers you'd be wrong. Ton of walkover still occurred anyways. The main reason why a ton of games were played 3-4 weeks ahead of time was because of the craziness that was the end of the 2011 season. I believe Xeris said this in another NASL post or someone affiliated did. That being said they had no right to keep that shit hidden and continue to advertise "2-3 day" delayed games like nothing ever changed. | ||
