Great article, and so many memories of NASL.

The Jinro Idra showmatch that started everything was, I think, the first time that I had watched a live SC2 broadcast which then led me to watching almost every single NASL game live for season 1.

The season 3 finals in Toronto was nothing short of spectacular. The place was hot, sweaty, crowded, and seriously lacking in beer that any self-respecting person would pay for, but it was such a great time. NASL sure had their struggles, but they sure will be missed.


I really hope someone else comes to Canada, but without NASL I doubt it

Thank you for the great times NASL!

Actually, IMHO, the walking and slapping your fans hands was a good idea which was probably executed as well as possible given the circumstances. It gave us this moment,

Sheth had the right idea

I agree if the fans were actually there it would have been hype.

Both of you come to Pax East. I'll buy you a beer and we can talk about how awesome it was to watch NASL season 1 and the Artosis Pylon.

Great crew, great games. I liked nasl and ipl both but in the long run nasl became my favorite. I really hate to see them go but when I saw mr. bitter was leaving I knew something was probably up. Good luck guys, may fortune find you!

How are they going under if they are responsible for WCS America? O_o?? I thought that meant a steady stream of content and revenue that they didn't have to put up the prize money for?

Did they lose that much money on seasons 1-4? They probably did :x

It turns out that having a stream three times a week with about 10-15K people watching (with top Koreans in WCS NA too), isn't enough.

We live in an era with no NAS,L no MLG, GOM is some youtube channel, HomeStory is Seatstory and Stephano looses to HeroMarine. Starcraft is not dead but what comes from now is not what we are gonna remember in 10 years.

MLG has SC2 running at their next event. They are hosting Clanwars on their video service and a ton of matches were just played. What rock have you been living under?

if I might add:

SeatStory is in addition to HomeStory (nobody ever said otherwise)

and thank god an inactive player like Stephano loses to an up and coming player like HeroMarine. he'd be in here complaining how shitty the game would be if it was otherwise.

seriously people, at the very least get your facts straight
what if Nat Pagle and RNGesus are the same person?

I disagree that they "went through the swamp and came out with a clean suit". Their swamp origins is what gave them charm. A start up that loved star craft and was daring enough to face down an incredibly competitive industry armed with nothing more than passion. I missed season one because they charged 20 bucks at the door, but I immediately felt regret when I realized what they offered. It was different. It wasn't about a big game that is a can't miss. They were offering consistent Starcraft from the players you all loved.

You could come home after a hard day and tune in to one of your favorites doing his thing, but with stakes. It was streaming, but a tournament. NASL isn't a suit. No sir, NASL is a group of dudes who loved what I love, but had the balls to do something with it. God bless the NASL and I am sorry that my waning interest in sc2 is a part of a theme that has demolished such a wonderful existence.

This makes me sad. NASL was one of the tournaments that first got me into watching StarCraft and watching/cheering for the foreigners. I always wished they were more successful and that the community would be more forgiving and understanding, which they were finally coming to do. Sad to see them go, I really would like for them to come back at some point.

All the best to all at NASL!

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good. Adios NASL — Thanks for the great memories.

Rip in peace NASL.

Never forget Incontrol's mastery of the announcement of the announcement.

Never forget "Excellent"

Its so surreal looking back. SC2 as an esport used to feel like it was going to change the world. Today, I smile at how naive I was to feel that way. NASL coming and going really drives that home.

Thanks for the memories.
