I've heard enough of the "these aren't the best players" bullshit. That's what it is. Complete BULLSHIT. Stop complaining. All of these guys are amazing Starcraft players. The people of the UK get wicked hyped for the Premier League championships even though at least the worlds top 3 players (Messi, Ronaldo, Kaka) all play in La Liga out of Spain. These guys are all amazing world class players. Go out an enjoy the awesome championship, and stop bitching. Please.

As much as I root for Americans/Europeans, I think you're only kidding yourself if you think Koreans are not the best players in the world right now...

I'm not trying to kid myself. They are the best players overall. But they are not so far ahead that IPL2 is a joke. In 100 straight between some Korean pro and some NA pro, the Korean will win the majority. But these guys in IPL2 are still amongst the best of the best, and can beat the Koreans on any given day. The absolutely are the best in the world, but the margin of separation is not as large as most people think.

In any given tournament, someone like Drewbie/iNcontrol/Kiwikaki can knock out a korean. If they were to play 100 straight games, yea, the korean will win most. The koreans aren't THAT much better, but they are definitely better.

Looking forward to this. IPL production has been quality. I actually like that we have one major tournament that doesn't have Koreans. As a spectator I really like that GSL/NASL/Dreamhack/MLG all have a mix of the best players but its nice that foreigners have a tournament just for them. It is good to have variety.

Is IPL like TSL where they play on all the regions to make it fair? Or is it NA only like NASL?

Very nice, they do have great production quality.
The dream situation would be to have the high level of finsh/polish couple with the rush of a live event.

It's so hard to believe people aren't grasping what IPL is trying to do here. They see no Koreans so it's an instant turn off because blah blah blah.

It's stated right in the article. They are trying to throw some serious cash out there so players from NA and EU can get some financial backing so they don't have to do their 9-5 jobs and can sit down and practice like mad. Get their skills to the level where they can be competitive with all the Korean players.

This is nothing but a good thing. A few seasons go by with little to no Korean players doesn't just write this off. Players that don't have to worry about punching the clock at work, or do ridiculous amounts of coaching to keep their lights on, is a great idea.

We're still in the infancy of this game. If this league can help get a good sized group of players focusing full time on the game, then bring on all the Koreans that you want. We can be ready and maybe we can start posting some real results against them.

Learn to read what is written and not what you think I might possibly be implying. The koreans are the best, no doubt. They aren't so far ahead that it wouldn't even be competitive to play the guys here in IPL. I never once said that they were equal to or better than the koreans. They are "amazing world class players". Enjoy the tournament and stop bitching. Apparently that comment was to be directed at you. Your ignorance and those of you alike is the only thing hindering the growth of IPL which is likely the highest production value online tournament out there.

I would tone down your language unless you want to get a temp ban. Anyway, I would say the TSL3 has the highest production value of an online tournament.
