I see Taeja vs MKP in TLpro, which Taeja lost 1-5. It even has an update with the score.
Otherwise your points are valid

There's always been previews and updates regardless of result when it comes to team leagues. I don't think tree.hugger missed a single preview since he started doing them (the ones at TLPro I mean).

This is completely wrong. We make a very important point out of it to treat our coverage the same win or lose.

Empire and FXO.CIS are the big two teams from Eastern Europe and their rosters combined contain almost all of the best players from this area.
RoxKis ???
That statement is so wrong, especially the last part.

To be completely fair, EG is also extremely on point about this kinda stuff. The only reason I mentioned it at all, in fact, was because it was such a notable exception.

It says "almost all" with the remainder being in RoX.KIS of course. White-Ra, DIMAGA, and that's pretty much the bunch.

Why do the teams who went out in the first and second round of the upper bracket both have to play in the first round of the lower bracket? That's the worst tournament design I've ever seen lol. The teams who lost their first round match (ex. Dignitas and Eclypsia) were rewarded by getting to play against another first round loser in the lower bracket, whereas teams like EG and dtG (who won their 1st round match) are also forced to play in 1st round lower bracket, but against a team who went out in the 2nd round (i.e. a better team), so they are being punished for making it an extra round in the upper bracket. That is really baffling, unless you guys are doing some mysterious never before seen style of bracket which somehow makes sense down the line, then I have to say you kinda messed up here. Any explanation for this?

Maybe I'm misremembering but didn't Liquid give 0 coverage of that seriously depressing IPL TAC1 where our boys in blue went down 10-1?
Although since that time I don't remember a single time when this has held true. GSTL got covered fully, EGMC was covered, GSL is always covered, NASTL was covered fully (of course) and all the individual leagues are given some sort of coverage when Liquid players are in them, no matter the result.
IPL TAC1 though...

IM coach personally made a promise to their facebook fans on their facebook page that IM would win IPL TAC3 right after they got knocked out in GSTL.
I guess we'll find out if he can make it reality.

So "almost all" is pretty much "about half"?
Also its three big teams from Eastern Europe.

Some of the biggest names in the West face elimination in week six, as Empire, EG, Empire, and Mouz are all in Losers' Bracket action.
Empire, EG AND Empire facing elimination ? That's harsh !

IPL TAC1 was sooo long ago, why even bring it up? At that time, TL didn't even do much if any coverage for IPL TAC. And TLPro made many references to their poor showing at IPL TAC1 throughout this year.

True, I really only brought it up for the sake of completion. I didn't want to leave it out since that did happen.

ouch. How i met this game!
|
I want to see more Monster play. Literally, maybe 1 of those games was even close. He didn't cheese or all in. He just flat out smacked EG around like red headed step children.

IPL team league is steadily turning into something really big, i like it and find my self watching them more often then usual lately
