I have no idea what went on, but image being given a few weeks to set up the largest tournament your game has ever created and trying to bang out everything both logically and legally. Was MLG supposed to say no to the people who permit them to use a game with a large fanbase in major competition, a game that makes them money? Certainly not. Also the same company that also owns Call of Duty, which they also run major competitions for. There is no way you say "no" to them if they come and push for you do do something. | ||

You don't tell the people who make you money to piss off and expect to keep making money. | ||

Honestly, I don't think NASL will save WCS America, the level of play is just so low it's boring to watch when the Korean/EU scene is much more developed. I say we take out WCS America altogether and have that pool prize go into KR/EU. Sweet idea. That will help grow the scene. Watch whatever you want. Plenty of people watched season one of NA. | ||

NASL leagues had been lackluster but their LAN finals have yielded some great games. | ||

MLG/Dreamhack hosting the super awesome tournements, and IEM/NASL doing what they are best at. This is how it was supposed to be from the beginning. | ||

That would be quite interesting tough to have the developers cast, great way to test their knowledge. | ||

i would watch just for the casting if this were to happen. I bet David Kim insight might be pretty decent but "rock guy" would just be like OMG THAT IS AWESOME!! take down the rocks ahahahahha. I would love to see this too bad is just a wish | ||

Now that NASL is involved we can get another 3 months of excuses about how it is "their first time running WCS". What a complete mess WCS AM has become. | ||
