Also consider that liquidation of assets via auction never brings in what those assets are worth. That production truck, for example, was worth considerably more than what the auction was up to the last time I looked at it - as was most of the rest of the equipment in the auction. | ||

Also it's easy for everyone to be all hindsighthero, but the fact is when nasl was announced in the end of 2010 or early 2011, an investment like this didn't make people go "what are they doing?". People thought sc2 was the next big thing, but it ended up being LoL and Dota2 instead. Shit happens. A lot of people were skeptical when NASL was announced. Remember at the time 100k was the biggest prizepool outside of GSL and the 3rd largest prizepool wasn't even close to that amount.* Then add in that NASL's investors were always secret, plus you had a lot of people doubting their ability to actually produce a good tournament (especially after The Clash of the Titans). Actually, I'll be most interested in seeing if we every find out who was behind NASL financially. * as an aside a former NASL member blamed IPL for starting the big prizepool arms race that ultimately destroyed the NA scene, but isn't NASL really the progenitor of that? | ||

I think "a lot of people" is stretching it  | ||

I think after the 1st season began it certainly turned into "a lot of people". | ||

Hm WCS Season 3 Finals doesn't seem that way. WCS Europe (and European tournaments in general) has always been better viewer-wise. | ||
