Great tournament overall btw. This has been addressed. The winner was not available.
Thanks, Mr. Biscuit. It's a shame though, and I partially agree with the poster further down that it should be part of the 'package' when you sign up to play in a tournament like this.
+ Show Spoiler +Can't wait to hear his opinions on the tournament come SotG this week ^^

Good tournament loved the production!

This has probably been answered somewhere else, but was the finals bo5 just for losers bracket winner to reset the bracket and not to win the tournament?
It seems a bit shitty that the winners bracket winner can lose in the grand finals by being eliminated once, rather than twice - in a double elimination tournament no less.

This was my assumption but I havn't been paying the most attention - but I didn't hear it mentioned in the video commentary at all.

It was mentioned a few times: + Show Spoiler +At the start of game 5, they talked for 2-3 minutes about how it was more important for kiwi to win gm5 just to stay alive and, although idra needed to win as well, it wasn't as important for him because his tourney wouldn't be over if he lost.

Just want to say that this has quickly become my second favorite tournament (after GSL), the production value is fantastic. Looking forward to future iterations!
|
IPL Needs to cast more replays and show more footage of HDStarcraft nodding his head in a smoked out room next season! All that production value and they couldnt find something to cover the part "Replay Complete" Above the IPL Logo.. Games were great tho... If they could somehow do it Live like NASL then play the recording.. Im not down with the failed replay sync's
|
I have seen the vods of the final and in the game were one of the casters accidently restarted the replay I just want to say: Wow, the way you guys handled the situation was really professional. Big cheers to you and keep up with the great work! Hope to see more commenting from you.

Great games, great casting, great production, and great community interaction between IGN and the fanbase. I'm really impressed, I can't wait for Season Two.

Grand Finals shouldnt have been a replay
|
Did anyone else have problems with match 4 idra vs kiwikaki grand finals? I can't seem to get it to load on either ign or sc2casts.com but all the other matches work
|
Hey the whole tournament was really good and the production value great. The only suggestion i would like to make is to make the Hotkeys for the players available so we can see how such incredible players sort their stuff.
Keep it up^^
|
Very well made tournament. The only thing I would change is replace some commentators.(For example, to gretorp & incontrol.) And finally the best won

Yes, I am having problems with game 4 also. I just get the spinning circle and occasional ad but no actual video.

Just refreshed again and game 4 is working now. Thanks!

There are "certain problems" with casting an online tournament live as with the TSL and every other tournament. Perhaps they could do a 1 game delay. But I'm sure there will still be people complaining about it not being live and you might as well do a replay anyway and avoid lag for the players. Without the players physically being there, it's not feasible.

Me personally, I much prefer casting off a replay if you are not going to go all the way and add so much that's needed like the GSL.
I feel that too much can go wrong with the internet so I'd prefer doing it off replays unless you go all the way to the GSL system (and that requires such a huge investment).
Will there be replays for download at some point?
Either way, I really really loved this, found it to be a great experience, and hope you keep doing it. Was awesome, the whole thing.

Any idea when replays will be released?
Thanks a bunch, IGN guys!!! <3
