I would say occasional playing of Kpop was ok, but the repetitive nature, and fact that it happened between just about every game made it a bit of a turn off.

Honestly, I don't hate kpop more then american pop in general. I like rock and some metal on occasion, but i'm just a bit disappointed that they replaced their awesome player panels and montages with music I can look up on youtube if I cared to do so.

Also, the event is in America... it's only natural that most people there prefer american music.

Can't really disagree with any of this.

What you said about 4 hour GSTL finals vs 3 day IPL 4 - this is so true.

I would have liked to create some relevant supplemental content like montages, interviews with coaches/players but we didn't actually know who would be on the main stage on Sunday. We could have guessed but it would have been a lot of work for nothing if we were wrong. I think this is an inherent challenge of the big 2-3 day super tournament format of western eSports.

I actually put some thought into this exact issue weeks leading up to the event and the solution I hatched was to have 1-2 editors work a night shift on Saturday night to create player packages/montages. This would require having recent, relevant footage of the 8 players in the championship bracket (which we wouldn't know until late sat night). Due to logistical/staffing issues we weren't able to attempt this but it's something I think is worth trying for future events. (I think IEM does something similar)

Thanks for your feedback and support!

You're completely right about not being able to predict how a tournament is going to pan out. I'm happy to see that IPL is always striving for improvement. You guys are already at a great starting point. I can't wait to be back in Vegas for the next event.

Please stop the KPop. At least much less than was at IPL4. Breaks should be filled with CONTENT of some kind - player interviews (pre-recorded or live), high lights, news, fan interviews, etc etc. There is so much stuff you could do to fill this time instead of the eye melting that is kpop. Hell, if you could get a greater variety of commercials to run that would be better.

I think the music was as good a filler as anything. Certainly better than repetitive ads.
