Depends if Idra plays his best or not. On his best days he should have no problem with Drewbie, but then he could just get 2raxed twice. As an Idra fan I hope he'll bring his best into IPL2, the first one had really good production values so I'm expecting a lot of IPL2.

Some interesting players to watch, but after being spoiled by all the global participation tournaments lately, it's hard to be hyped for this.

Oh well, will be keeping an eye on Ret. I see him and Thorzain as the favorites, will also be interesting to see how Nerchio does.

Why exactly? Drewbie has beat him fair and square on multiple occassions.

Not entirely sure why people are taking a dump on the guy who made the premier league remark, he's absolutely right. Sports fans watch the match because it's the match, not due to who is playing. They do not ignore all of the matches that aren't being played by the top couple of teams, they enjoy the sport, regardless of who is playing it. The idea that you can't enjoy SC2 unless it's being played at the absolute razer edge of perfection is something I'll never understand, not to mention is a fairly harmful attitude to have. I actually feel sorry for people that can't enjoy SC2 unless it's being played by Koreans, how terrible to be denied so much entertainment simply due to some self-imposed restriction.

Sorry but people who say IdrA and Drewbie are "close in skill" have no clue.

Well I found the IdrA fighter pose picture the best part of this post. Though I hope IPL does some live events, that'd be swell.

Wow no koreans or EU players ?
Even though I am American patriot, I do realize the possible skill gap between Americans/Europeans/Koreans players. What I want to do is to tilt the balance a little bit, and have American players earn more time not having to worry about their living and spend that time practicing and up their game

Translation : Americans sucks therefore we don't want to compete with the rest of the world atm

I don't understand the mentality involved here , you can only get better by practicing / competing with the best.

I don't think i would be watching this league (Nasl has horrifying production but the rosters is amazing and the games were awesome)
i rather watch NASL season 2.

Do they at least allow Huk to participate ?( or does he counts as koreans now that he practice alot and in GSL code S?) i would love him to win this league.

First off, your location says Australia... Secondly, DieStar and Tarson are European.

We have a ton of EU players!

As David mentioned in his interview, we're growing gradually to make sure every step is awesome. S1 was all NA, S2 was NA and EU, and who knows what we'll add moving forward! :D
