Oh a korean lost? Must have had 5000ms latency! There is a reason players like NesTea refuse to play online foreign tourneys. | ||

As far as knowing the results, I don't know why they would publish the results before the tournament is aired by them. It would make watching the tournament less worthwhile if the results were released. | ||

Because this time IPL learned from their mistake and had the players play on "cloaked" maps so that the results are not immediately apparent to the people who look at player match histories. Anyway, all this whining is cute and all, but in the end it's not going to matter. Even with NASL having more "skilled" players (ie, Koreans), the first IPL was regularly beating the viewer numbers for NASL. That was with just 16 North American players in the first IPL. Now there's 32 North American/European players and an All-Star team of casters. People are definitely going to watch. I know I will be watching tonight :D | ||

There is a reason players like NesTea refuse to play online foreign tourneys. There is also a reason why many online tournaments lately have been won by Koreans, such as recent TL Opens and FXO Invitational Series. The reason is because even with the lag the majority of Koreans are still better than most foreigners, and the added competitions make for a funner tournament to watch. | ||

I know I will be watching tonight :D The actual NASL finals had like 40-50k viewers which is pretty decent and sure as hell wasn't because of their production values. We'll see if IPL can get that much. No hate on them at all I appreciate the fact that they put a lot of work into their tourney which is apparent by the quality of their stream. Just giving reasons why I'm personally not that interested in watching it and others might feel the same | ||

This isn't some 3-day thing. Season 2 is going to last a month or so I would think. | ||

(Destiny is playing on KR from America) i dont really want to get into this debate but for the sake of correctness, KR -> US is much higher latency than US -> KR. This has been well documented and shown on many TL threads. And now I'll disappear, gl IPL your production in s1 was amazing, look forward to great things in s2. | ||

IMO, IPL>=MLG>NASL, but that's just me, I loved MLG too, but IPL spent less and did an awesome job too, plus, we have matches almost everyday  | ||

I can't get excited about watching these players, no matter how big the prize pool is and how high the production values are... sorry... :/ ...You're dissapointed because Idra vs Drewbie is Ro32 match? A) Get out then, B) That attitude hurts ESPORTS and C) Go IPL if this one is as good as the first we are in for one hell of an event! | ||
