It's really not fair comparing NASL with IGN right now. NASL has 5 (I'm assuming little-to-moderately experience) production people working from dusk-to-dawn..IGN's certainly got a lot more resources/people/money/experience in this sort of thing - I would hope that their production is better. You wouldn't go to a middle school basketball game and taunt the kids for not throwing down alley-oops like they do in the NBA.. NASL's already shown a ton of improvement day-to-day and week-to-week, and we should be thankful they're as interactive/transparent with the community as they are. And worst case scenario - it's still top level players playing with some sketchy-at-times production..for free.
(Reference MLG:Dallas this year for something that sucked with production/execution.)

Such a huge gap skill-wise between those two. No wonders tho.

Yeah o.o, he could have gotten two sentry kills at least if he just attacked instead of trying to run.

Can we take all the NASL Haterade somewhere else?

I don't understand it either =(

Axslav overextended here, if should have retreated and saved his ~8 sentries.
He did a good amount of damage, and going with those sentries into the midgame would
put him hinto a super position.

Great production and quality is just awesome! Loving the endgame stats, similar to BW. Also, loving the players artwork. Good job, IPL! Hoping for a great season. Thank you.

GO KIWI!!!!!

Why won't every player play perfectly? I DEMAND ANSWERS

Well he's a pro player, and it's not like he had to deal with a multiprong attack. Just select the roaches and a-move them so they don't get completely wasted.

Sheth's money was staying really high through all that, and he was being a bit slow to use his larva even after the attack ended.

I don't really mind Wheat casting solo (although dual casting is still better), he lacks game knowledge a bit, but he has a great voice and a good flow.

Yea IPL is really trying to cater to the noobies as much as possible to draw in mass appeal. (seriously HD and TB???) While I am a really big fan of this....I'm going to watch all of IPL on mute...

Thanks for gracing us inferior beings with your presence anyway.

I don't get why Sheth goes to the maCro gaMe when he can just double inject and overrun him with roaches, like in game 1. If you don't punish the P for his failed sentry push, you just encourage him to deathball you to death.

I agree but you gotta admit that frustration is justified. One day you watch awesome events like DH and now IPL and then tomorrow you have to calmly accept all kind of issues while trying to watch your favorite players competing in league(s)/tournament(s) which were over-hyped.
