may u take down the overlay header? It is very big, and i feel it lessens the viewer experience.

does anyone else feel this way?

I disagree. You'll get used to it.

However, not being able to see the supply of both players is troublesome, even though there's nothing that can be done since it was played on cloaked maps.

IPL has had some of the consistently best production quality of any tournament to date. IPL TV so super underrated too. Makes me so sad when I tune in and there are <1k viewers...give them a chance!

Going a little deeper into the prize pool aspect of things, the first season had a prize pool of $5,000, and quickly multiplied tenfold. Is this an indicator of your success, or was it already on your checklist when you started?

I had planned this all along. The experimental IPL1 gave us data points that gave the green light to proceed. We actually could go higher than $50,000, and I would not be surprised if IGN pays out more than $1,000,000 in prize money within the next 12 months.


Wow, $1,000,000? Incredible! Wish all the best to IPL. Make it all happen!

Idra's strongest rival will always be his mindset. I think he goes on tilt faster than any other pro player. When he's playing his best, I do think he's the best NA zerg. I don't think Sheth can compete. At least not in ZvZ (we've seen Idra sweep him 3-0). Did sheth improve MASSIVELY after 2 weeks in Korea? I doubt it.

Is Idra the best foreigner zerg? Definitely not.

As far as IPL2 goes... I'm kinda saddened tht all the matches are pre-recorded. The game sounds are way too low, and the brightness is hella low. It's so dark it's hard to tell whats going on sometimes

holy ****.....
thats a number i LIKE to hear :D
yeeehaaww go IPL go eSports!!! :D

and i dont care if its live or not....for ME it is live, because i never saw it :D...and the casting IS live, its not like the casters know who won and commentate stupid. its totally fine...
but mb some offline finals would be nice. just for the chering crowds. moar goossseeebuuumbbss!!!

Why do people think the games are casted live? This very article states otherwise. I mean do you think painuser, catspajamas, tastosis, djwheat, and HD were all available TONIGHT to cast 1 or 2 games for IPL RO64 day 1? Use yo noggin...

ONE MEEEEELLION DOLLARS
...

thats actually pretty cool, and a huge number for esports prize money.
As of right now, IPL is strictly an online tournament. Are plans underway to make future IPLs a live event?

Yes.


Grats to IGN for at least getting it right so far, taking some time to get production right is always a good idea; don't put too much stress on it too soon and the whole thing will turn out better. Also a good idea is shooting to surpass whats currently out there. Looking forward to the future of this tourney

After watching all these other tournaments with Korean levels of skill, IPL just seems really lackluster. I mean, they have great production and all, but now I know with absolute certainty that pretty much any Code S/A Korean could easily win this.


You're beyond kidding yourself if you think a code A player could win this with ease. Stop comparing the IPL to code S. They aren't currently a competitor with code S!!!! They aren't trying to!!!

This is a highly competitive tournament with some of the world's best players. Enjoy the competition and quit complaining. The amount of bitching going on is absurd.


Puzzle, Leenock, Ryung, Gumiho, MMA, Dongraegu are all code A or lower and could win IPL.


Oh they absolutely could win IPL. They are amazing players. But you'd be kidding yourself if you think them winning is a sure thing. They are awesome players..... but so are those in the IPL now. They would be good matches, but no guarantees.

So far as i expected the IPL has good commentators, easily accessed vods , impressive streams with no lags/stutter , an amazing production overall.

The game however has been lackluster so far and their player rosters is really not all that impressive with only few players that stands out (Idra, white-ra,thorzain ,select and ret).

That being said its a good league and when they get real competition not just few very good players crushing faces I would definitely watch the IPL
