But at the end, NA scene just disapperead with his Las Vegas finals, and other bling-bling events. EU had more success on the WCS changes. NA RTS scene seems more volatile, sc2 is no more "fashionable" on NA so sc2 is no more played and far less watch (i saw that 50% of ladder games are on EU now). | ||

EU productions may be less professional or expensive but always felt way more likable for me. Look at TakeTV, from an objective view they are cheesy at best, had production problems in the past, have a german cast that insults everything between Protoss, Women and Asians and annoy you with advertising their stuff 50% of the time. But you feel in every show that they just have fun what they are doing and that makes them likable. Or look at the biggest thing (i think ?) in Europe right now, IEM. You can think whatever you want about it but Carmac just looks like a nice dude overall. And i personally never made this kind of connections for any NA tournament wich maybe sounds irrelevant but you are willing to forgive problems way easier if you want this guys to succeed because you like them. | ||

Everyone is so untrue. Honesty is hardly ever heard. And mostly what I need from you. | ||

[3] This footnote is half the reason I'm posting this blog. During Season 1, one of the NASL's guest casters had an interesting experience. He cast a day of games over Skype with Gretorp. For one reason or another, NASL's copy of the audio with his half of the cast was lost, but Gretorp's was still in their possession. NASL sent this unnamed guest caster Gretorp's audio and asked him to re-cast the games as if they were live. He did so, using the waveform of the cast audio to see when to let Gretorp talk, and no one watching the stream noticed. What, seriously? Shit :D | ||

The work our sponsorship team was doing could have resulted in wonderful things, and what happens in that alternate timeline is anyone's guess. We were taking on several new titles (James Reilman was doing work for World of Tanks and Infinite Crisis towards the end, I was on ShootMania, Mike Ross was doing in-studio Street Fighter shows with guests, and other developers were lining up.) and dealing with several new major title sponsors when things began to shift toward new ownership in 2013. This post was probably not necessary for most of you, but it hurts to see people who have the opinion that IPL got too big too fast or didn't properly allocate funds or whatever theories they've come up with to justify its closing. | ||

Anyone thinking we weren't trying to become sustainable is just wrong. IGN clearly invested a large amount of money, but it wasn't for nothing and there were plans in place. IGN had a different CEO when IPL was established than when it was sold to Ziff Davis. ZD didn't care about eSports, nor did it care about 25% of the writing staff at IGN for that matter. New owners, new business plan, IPL didn't fit. The work our sponsorship team was doing could have resulted in wonderful things, and what happens in that alternate timeline is anyone's guess.

Nice post. I'm still pretty sad about what happened to all of the IPL guys  I really liked you, DoA, CP, Kibblez, PainUser and HD (never really cared for Robin to be completely honest). It seemed like after IPL dissolved, only PainUser really stuck around to anything else with SC2. I know Blizzard hired the IPL guys that were still around, but it seemed like there was no tangible result from their work and they ended up just being some of the many organizers of WCS. Anyway, sorry to go off topic. | ||

Thanks for trying, man. NASL was almost impossible to defend, having so many problems. Even though you turned your back on it, you learned a lesson in business. It's not always a smooth ride. I imagine you invested yourself emotionally quite heavily to have become burned out by a season's end. Your subsequent backlash to NASL was obviously just you venting truth, and keeping honest to yourself. Again, thanks. | ||
