[Deadman]

hahaha did you see tt1 facepalm at the end

 

[slidewinder]

That is one good-looking Zerg player, imo.

 

[StriKeVillain]

2 questions:

1.) Has anyone purchased the $5 weekly pass? How does it look, worth it?
2.) Is there a schedule of how many more games will be on tonight?

 

[AdventureRacing]

Can't stand TT1, hopefully Sen crushes him.

There's a screenshot on an earlier page.

All Ro16 games are today.

 

[slidewinder]

Terrible game for Sen there. Kept trying to force things when he had no need to.

 

[Paches]

Sounds like no one is there yet.

 

[(._.)]

Sen went through so many damn roaches that game. protoss army jut wouldn't die.

 

[Corran Horn]

Alicia see...dont lose to only roaches.

 

[calder]

Nice, glad TT1 took that one.

The stream has been very solid at least. I'm running the 1080+ stream over wireles at home and it's pretty solid. Video was pausing very occasionally during some of the earlier matches but that hasn't even happened in quite a while, not enough that I ever bothered dropping the stream to 720. Worth the $10 for the Finals weekend special so far for sure.

EDIT: oh and while MrBitter and Rotterdam are a damn fine casting duo, if NASL let's fucking gunrun talk one more time I may drive down to LA just to demand my $10 back. How the fuck anyone would let him speak AT ALL is beyond me. I'm sure he's a great guy and he seems like a really good person to have behind the scenes (no one knows xsplit like thegunrun ) but what the hell he has no business holding a mic at all. Just awful at every part of those intros.

And while I'm bitching, the Gretorp narrated intro for Sen was hilariously bad. Was he, like, acting or something?

 

[Paches]

TT1 has some real balls.

Excellent - I think I'll hold my money and just watch at 360p. The only casters I like are Bitter and Rotterdam, not really worth any MLG type money.

 

[Striek]

Surprised TT1 has been trying to play these macro games. A zerg on 3 bases = you cannot get a third without doing damage first tbh. Sen showing why.

 

[Deadman]

4 sentry warp prism drop incoming?

 

[Striek]

4 sentry warp prism drop incoming?

Worked well at MLG, got crushed every time at dreamhack. Doubt we'll see it at NASL.

 

[Corran Horn]

NASL crowd....lol

Glad sen won.

 

[Deadman]

its what he wanted to do, he just completely messed up his build at the start

 

[Trickster]

Worked well at MLG, got crushed every time at dreamhack. Doubt we'll see it at NASL.

Didn't Hero win with it agains't sheth at dreamhack?

 

[Pancakes]

Is there some guy waving giant dildos around in the audience?

time to hop into your car!

 

[slidewinder]

"So what's the deal with roaches?"

 

[calder]

time to hop into your car!

lol I could not mute it quick enough.


No surprise to TT1 losing, Sen just clearly outclassed him and TT1's problems with zerg were in full display. Not sure what to expect from Mana/Morrow, but that just may be because I get Mana confused with like 3 other players.

Oh and cool Husky is up. Other than Gretorp and Orb (who aren't *terrible* just meh at best and very poor while together imo), NASL sure got a lot of good casters for this. Which makes every second gunrun speaks more baffling and enraging to me.

 

[Striek]

Didn't Hero win with it agains't sheth at dreamhack?

Maybe, I didn't catch every game. But when I did see it I saw lings rush under the warp prism and a heavy groan from the casters as sentries disappear. Thats opposed to the baller immortal or colossi drops, which seems to work way better.

 

[Deadman]

lame i just realised this is the time the finals will be starting. bo7 starting at 3am monday for me. guess i dont get to watch lol

edit: in season 1 because europeans complained they wouldnt be able to watch they moved the finals to 2.30pm local time, then they set the season 2 finals in the same time zone at 7pm? wat.

 

[Haunted]

The next games are all so close to call.

Mana with a slight edge over Morrow, Demu vs T-Zain is a complete toss-up and Idra has the favour over Strelok, but Strelok on a good day can take any Zerg.

Next clear-cut match will be Sheth vs Puma.

 

[calder]

Oh NASL.

 

[Corran Horn]

This music....lol

 

[Rubashov]

So they're 2 hours behind right now? They should be doing these damn intro vids during the huge downtime between matches. I'm going to fall asleep during the next 30 minute splash screen, I'm sure.

 

[Pandaman]

Oh NASL.

did they turn on someones mic during manas entrance? i swear i could ear breathing.

Yeah it's nice being sent to a blank screen for 30 minutes to an hour.

 

[Corran Horn]

lol

Then after Huk lost to hasu

 

[Corran Horn]

*twitch....



baneling drops...

 

[PhoenixDark]

lmao mous v EG twitter. Fun stuff

 

[calder]

lol

Lmao, that was actually funny. Good to see ppl not taking themselves too seriously

 

[Corran Horn]

wtf with this crowd? Do you play league of legends?

 

[Q8D3vil]

lol

lol, we need more teams trash talking each other
we didn't even see that in the last gstl :/

 

[PhoenixDark]

lol Mana annihilated

 

[calder]

Mana reminding me why I never remember him lol

 

[Corran Horn]

So NASL has like 3 ish hours before everyone leaves for GSL. Better hurry! lol

 

[Rubashov]

Did they just reach over and shake hands? I thought there was at least a pane of glass between the players.

 

[AdventureRacing]

So NASL has like 3 ish hours before everyone leaves for GSL. Better hurry! lol

So the next set of games should start around the same time as GSL?

 

[Slavik81]

This has been surprisingly terrible. :\

 

[Corran Horn]

Man just small things like bad cameraman makes this feel so amateur-ish and not an actual professional tournament with a $50k top prize.

NASL, the filler tournament of e-sport

 

[StopMakingSense]

This has been surprisingly terrible. :\

You never watched the NASL1 Grand Finals, I take it?

 

[Corran Horn]

Remember when all the esports shows said they cant wait to see what NASL does after MLG/Dreamhacks/etc?


....

 

[Frustrated_me]

Gonna be hilarious watching Idra walk down the carpet...

 

[AdventureRacing]

So what do they expect us to do in this massive downtime? They just show a blank screen and play music. The gap is too short to really do anything but long enough to make you really bored.

I'll probably play some SC2 in between and get dinner a bit later but this is terrible. The NASL really don't know how to keep viewers interested.

....

Doesn't help when one of the main NA SC2 personalities was involved with it in the first season....
