The one thing I don't like about the IPL and the month-long delay between when the games are played and when they are broadcast is how much the meta-game changes between then. Also, if you are following the league to follow your favorite player, the significant delay prevents you from feeling excitement/anticipation for that player as they go through hot-streaks/slumps in the context of their careers beyond the tournament itself.

However, for the casual follower, which I think is IPL's target audience, these issues are of no concern.

Regardless, I am excited for the league.

Will the Grand masters players have an advantageous position in the open bracket?
When will you reveal the price pool distribution?
Is IPL for real? I mean with such a big prize pool, is it economical sustainable to continue with IPL3, perhaps, 4, 5 and 6? I wish you good luck as long as it lasts

I'd hope that as the team gets bigger and more experienced as IPL develops eventually the time between games played and when the games are casted gets cut down. I'm sure S2 will be great with the open qualifiers but there's definitely a lot more excitement in following a tournament where the strategies and builds keep up with current trends (like GSL). I do however understand that with it's young age they'd prefer the extra time to up the production.

Looking forward to season 2 (and beyond)

1) No it will be completely random
2) Soon, I just need the final distribution approved
3) We're for real!

One thing I have been pushing for any event is open casting. Why limit the viewership to people no one cares to listen to? Good call IGN for allowing this to happen. Can't wait to see how this plays out. 2048 man brackets?! INSANE!

One more thing - I hope all of IPL's main-event games are dual-casted. There are some casters who are great by themselves, but dual-casting is always better :D

There is also the danger of having the results leaked. Much can happen in a month, and all it takes is one loose lip.

I hope IPL meets with success, but I feel like people do have a legitimate concern in the month long delay. I know they're doing it to get everything right, but it feels like, with eSports, you need to strike a balance between production quality and time. But we'll see how it goes.

Gonna be so fantastic. Def tuning in after IPL1. Can't wait for the future global ones though as well, but I definitely understand the attitude of wanting to take it one step at a time.

Please do this IGN. Otherwise, the event feels too much like a series of youtube videos.

IPL had really nice production value.
This is so much more important to the viewers/community, than a huge pricepool.

Nice to see that europeans are allowed now.
