NASL has really built itself as the north american defacto league and already ran around 2-3 events a year, which lines up with the WCS season structure. It's infrastructure was just starting to reach a pinnacle in production value and now can turn it towards WCS America. They even had a more standard broadcast schedule throughout the week that made it more lineup more with what WCS America wanted and I feel it should've been the first pick to begin with. MLG, especially since they carry other games, was an understandable pick but made less sense. Now they can focus again on their live events, part of which the open bracket made it exciting to go visit, and they can seek out their own sponsors again. It just made more sense to do it this way because MLG also houses LoL, CoD, FGC and other games at their live events, and forcing all of those other leagues to lineup with blizzard's WCS seasons seemed dauntingly difficult. Good luck to MLG and I look forward to your amazing events again, and grats again to NASL for getting the chance they deserve! | ||

So happy to see NASL crew again ! This is so awesome, MLG will continue to do Lan as they know how to do and will stop to fail at organisating WCS AM. Congratz NASL Crew, I will definitly follow this ! | ||

Now we really have a good balance of regional, daily WCS content, and a healthy schedule of large, weekend-warrior tournaments. Things are shaping up. | ||

So who's going to be casting the online part of the tounament..???? Likely Bitterdam and whoever else they hire. Don't read into press releases to much. Just wait for all the information to come out. | ||

I wouldn't be shocked if Incontrol and Idra cast, since they are in Cali too. This is NASL, they could do anything. | ||

I like my MLG, but their production of WCS AM was totally lacking. NASL and the IPL team I feel really knew how to go that extra mile and gives us not just the games but additional content that was fun. We're going to own EU this season :p! | ||
