Starcraft 2: Announcing National Announcement Service, Ltd
It's not inspiring that Xeris is in the Q&A thread literally saying that it will be live (ed: he even said there would be a stream delay to prevent cheating), and iNcontroL is saying the opposite.
It's not that hard to reconcile the two. The games will be casted live (i.e., not off of replays) but will be made available for consumption the next day.

@TwitchTV, @Youtube: master-level zerg ladder/customs, commentary, and random miscellany.
If it's all prerecorded and done the same way the showmatch was done, then it is def not inspiring. Was painful.

I will throw you on the land and hurl you on the open field. I will let all the birds of the air settle on you and all the beasts of the earth gorge themselves on you. I will spread your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with your remains. I will drench the land with your flowing blood all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh. - Ezekiel 32: 4-6
I'll admit that I could've been confused about the use of the word "live", but it doesn't make any sense to be mentioning a stream delay to prevent cheating if the stream won't actually start until a day after the games are played.

well i mean you could call it a 1 day stream delay
all true
edit: oh korean viewers? i dont think thaaaaat many
they might pay premium to get replays? no clue
and geoff seems to be saying that the production for the show will be much higher so
They also use the words "live from LA" in the trailer, which I have no idea how to construe as being "prerecorded in LA". I have no problem with it being prerecorded, but imho they're not being clear with their messaging.
I'd rather it not be given for consumption a day later. That's plenty of time to have it spoiled by people looking into that sort of thing. During the IdrA/Jinro showmatch someome spoiled the ending right in the chat right during one of the games because they looked at IdrA's recently played matches.

Inc mentioned something about that in his Q&A. They're working on preventing that with Blizzard apparently.
Dear Bronze players,
Please learn when you have been defeated. just because you know how to created moar hatches that continue to do nothing doesnt make you a good player it just means that you are wasting both my time and your time.
Solution for Incontrol: DONT use two dif computers to cast from if you know about delay issues.

Seriously though, I think production values will probably actually be better than GSL and MLG. Might be a bit rough at first, but it'll get there eventually. Not sure it'll ever actually surpass TSL though.
solution for incontrol : it was in the past so why are we offering suggestions
He's acting like the delay is a known thing...so they go ahead and do it with two anyway? A little more forward thinking guys.

Yeah, it's the worst idea. Also, I accidentally closed the stream as Russ was finishing with his long rant. Did he say that a team could split up into 2 teams to get by the rule? What the FUCK is the point of the rule, then?
So teams get seats that they get to choose who gets to play instead of actually just choosing 50 of the best players? What? I'm confused
players are going to be invited by the nasl staff
they must apply on the site
one of the requirements is being in a team
one of the stipulations is that no more than 5 representatives from one team will be allowed, unless the 6th member qualifies for the one open slot in the open tournament
They're attempting to stop teammates from colluding, which they've apparently decided is a problem despite no other BW or SC2 tournament - to my knowledge - deciding that it's enough of a problem to do something like this.
Yeah, the argument is really not compelling at all. Aren't the Liquid guys just going to meet up closer to the finals? How is that going to result in less collusion? Should just be invites and random seeds, but it seems like Inc and co. are pretty entrenched as to what they're planning to do. Just like MLG. ><
I see it's because it is a season and not a single or double elimination tournament. Tournaments are better IMO and if you lose on purpose you're out so no problem with teams colluding.
Huk talks mad shit during his streams. Like way worse than IdrA. But it's odd, he doesn't call his opponents bad or anything, he's just extremely chatty and obnoxious.
Also, I can't believe they're actually talking up sc2gg and klazart. It was horrible casting, Klazart was entertaining in the "haha, wtf is this shit?" way.
What casting was harder to understand...Milkies or Klazart?

did xeris say the show will be live or the cast be live?
because the cast will be live, ie not from replays
but the show will be recorded a day early
edit: huh
well
xeris my man
dont start having flaws

So I guess it's not just Blizzard.
At this point I'm wondering if it's a miscommunication or if this is their attempt at corporate double-speak.
edit: I guess iNcontroL is just wrong.
right after i said how great he was
Also Nony made some great points about it, I think I'm happier with that as a format now.

Thank you
NASL is sure to be great! :P
and i agree with you streltsy
i just think people need to get in their head that the production process for the showmatch
and the production process for the nasl
will be of a completely different scale
He's acting like the delay is a known thing...so they go ahead and do it with two anyway? A little more forward thinking guys.
i uh agree
but that was a problem because of replay casting for the showmatch
which the nasl wont be
so

still workin on it.
damnit wakkawa
you are damn good but you are making me feel inadequate
are you also working on that thing for anna
Wait now they have to pay to play? He said this wasn't a pyramid scheme.
EDIT: Still not a fan of Huk though.
Also, I can't believe they're actually talking up sc2gg and klazart. It was horrible casting, Klazart was entertaining in the "haha, wtf is this shit?" way.
