Why is the league abbreviated to NSSL? Where does the 'N' come from?

Naver, their sponsor. They are a big company, apparently Korea's Google.

I have faith that Creator will be back in some what of his old form. I can see him beating Classic, especially if Classic's mindset isn't stable.

I'm super excited for the Trap vs. Dark matchup. Dark has a lot to prove in individual leagues and Trap, who has been doing pretty well for himself lately, is going to test Dark's ability against a strong Protoss. But, I think Trap will beat Dark because JAGW doesn't have to play Trap in SPL because JAGW has a deeper lineup than SKT. So, Trap can save some sick builds for Dark. We'll have to see I guess.

I wonder what form Dear and sOs are in...... *strokes beard* interesting...


literally disagreed with everything you said

Trap already beat Dark 3-1 in IEM WC Katowice, he can do it again

I also like the format. The volatility seems designed to differentiate the NSSL from the GSL, since it presumably shakes up the ro16 more. A GSL clone would get fewer viewers because most people would just watch the original. They could have done another format (last season someone "suggested" a 32-player round robin), but this keeps the stakes high and adds a lot of variety.

He won 6 out of his last 23 games, no there probably isn't an easier opponent.
At least there aren't "many"

He crushed sKyHigh today. Other easy opponents include Symbol, Hurricane, Super, HyuN and friggin MacSed. Don't tell me Leenock is easier than friggin MacSed.

skyhigh isn't really a regular proleague player ( i didn't watch the game though!)
Ok i agree that Leenock probably is not the weakest of them all, but i still am of the opinion that he is one of the weakest for sure.

Flash vs protoss - enough said.
Flash got his best matchup vs the weakest zerg.

CJ is fielding sKyHigh a lot this round, not sure what you mean.

Flash got his best matchup vs the weakest zerg.

Flash completely rekt Creator, barely lost to Trap and threw the game against sOs. Flash vs Protoss isn't as bad as you make it sound. KT actively fields him against Protoss in SPL. And his historically best MU is TvT. He had a 10 game losing streak against Zerg in the beginning of this year, mind you. And Leenock isn't even the weakest Zerg.

Haha fair enough (i probably should watch more CJ games)
Still, outside of Proleague skyhigh doesn't have any real results. I am just saying that a game vs skyhigh probably shouldn't determine how we value Leenock
Leenock is definitely bottom tier if we look at all these players, that's my whole point

sKyHigh's mech crushed both soO and Losira, that's why I brought it up. Leenock isn't top tier, but he's not the easiest Flash could have gotten.
