I feel so bad for Nathanias... so close to scoring a great job as a caster... and then NASL drops SC2.

and this is also so bad for Rotti. Hes basically doing only SC2 for NASL so he's effectively fired...
I dont know if he knows it yet. Cant imagine it, he was so cheerful at SSC..

This very sad to see. I can't believe it. Wasn't Blizzard covering most of the costs of WCS anyway? I can't believe they'd let NASL go under.

Also, does that mean the NA scene is pretty much completely dead. I mean, we maybe have MLG and possibly some Red Bull stuff left but that's it!

It's sad to see the remainder of NASL going... why are there no real reasons in their big statement?
Also it's indeed a bit strange to have NA finals in Germany...
And: Why on the same weekend? Please don't do this!!!

I mean, for me as a viewer, it's awesome news, because honestly I really favor ESL over NASL's production and I really like ESL casters. But for the players and WCS as a whole, I really hope Blizzard finds a new partner for hosting WCS NA in NA. Maybe MLG can take over?

Kinda expected, when heard of this days ago my thought was Red Bull.

So Rotterdam changes his plans and they fly Nathanias in I guess? Rotti wanted to return to the US immediately after SSC. I wonder if he knew about any of this. Kinda sorry for him and his troubles with casting sc2 at NASL. He hasn't even been full time for a while. I hope he and Nathanias get a nice gig for season 2 and 3.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I don't know how equipped Blizzard are to do something like this though. They have elements of the IGN team left but I dunno how well that would work.

WoT is pretty much dying from what I've heard. Like actually dying, not DAED GAEM dying.

You're also from the EU so I don't understand why you are making such a statement.
NA guys, especially from the US, have zero problems going to EU, like absolutely none. And for Koreans I think it is also easier to get an EU visa than an US visa. So no problems should arise here...

Blizzard is more than capable of doing it. Might have to bring in a few new faces to help out, but they can do it.

Well the developer is still making craploads of money, but eSports wise, nobody really cared.
