Hello TL,

I've graduated Uni and am now working full time in the US. Now that I have disposable income, I think its about time put at least a little money in to the community... Especially since I have been watching every free stream out there for the past 2 years.

So here is my predicament... I dont have the time to watch every tournament out there. I also don't have the time to keep up with the korean leagues (Which are pretty much universally claimed to be the best). So the choice pretty much comes down to NASL or IGN.

I think their games are about of the same quality with regards to their player pool. Although I love Bitterdamn, Cats Pajamas and PainUser are awesome too. Additionally, IGN is 5$, which NASL is 20$. Lastly, with NASL, I feel like I'm supporting something a litttle more grass-roots than IPL.

Anyways, I am torn, and would like to get TL's opinion... Please give me your reasoning too =]

If you have time to follow nasl, which is like 5 series every night, you should have enough for GSL, which is just better in every aspect and if you don't want gstl, there are multiple days off, if you for some reason really really don't want gsl, NASL > IPL these days imo

Errr IPL and IGN are the same. I assume you meant NASL instead of IGN.

Between the two I think it depends on you're time schedule. NASL goes on for 9 weeks plus playoffs so there are tons of games over a longer period of time. IPL on the other on the other hand is a team league so there is that aspect to it. Personally I'd choose NASL over IPL* just because I am not a fun of the all-kill format.

(*I am unsure if IPL upgrade applies to IPL5 in December.)

I can watch NASL or IPL live after coming home from work, which is nice. Im not a fan of watching GSL after the fact, and there is no way I am staying up for it.
This would perhaps change if GSL did some kind of rebrodcast, but that sounds unlikely.

GSL the quality of the matches is far superior. That said though if you are wanting more of the American players the IPL would be my second choice.
