The schedule they released weeks ago had LoL from 6:30-8:30 listed. They want the finals to get a lot of exposure. SC2 Semi Finals second match starts again at 8:30. | ||

The good : Overall really good event from IPL. Major thumbs up. The games were perfect and the "internet crisis" was handled reasonable well out of a internet viewer perspektive. The general action flow was okay, not too much time between games and always something else to watch for the time. The repetition of the Videos could be better but one can live with that. Casters did there job really well, although i don't really like all of them, i can say from an objective point they did a good job there. The bad : I did not like the "player interviews". I'm not really sure why. The player's seemed not to be really into them and i think this partly because the question they were asked, which where very general and did not have more content than "how does X feel". I'd prefer something like the Nasl interviews (the one gretorp does during the online broadcast not the one on the offline event which where terrible as far as i remeber) which focus more on the game and the actions the player took in it. There the player is on familiar ground and feels more comfortable so the interview should be better for all participants. I have to add that my opinion might not be the most based on the most objective reasons, because i really really dislike both persons that did the interviews. What could be better : The openbracket coverage and the round of 32. I know that one organisation can't cover all the matches that are going on but i think that you don't have to. Just do it like Dreamhack and allow other casters to take some of the matches. To increase the awarness of the tournement sponsors you can just give them somekind of commercial material that they play between games. It's likely to increase viewers because in germany, russia,france,etc. people often favor casts in their own language. As the tournement progresses you can just limit the games to your own casters. Hope this is helpful and in the right place (if it's not please tell me a better one so i can post it there). I'm really thankful for the troubles you went through to bring us such a good event and i hope the next one will be even better. | ||

Oh, the games and the players were awesome too :D Only little problem I had was that, while I have nothing against HD and PU, I felt it would have been much better to use Apollo's preparation in the finals. A big gg to all the staff who made this tournament possible. | ||

Props: 1. Player pool - totally sick. 2. Minimal down time. 3. Great casting. 4. high production value Slops: 1. Venue - honestly I was not a fan of the casino environment. Had to walk ages to get between the qualifier area / main stage, lots of rude drunk people around (not necessarily members of the eSports community), etc. There are many other venues available on the East coast and New Jersey specifically - Somerset, Newark (super convenient area to get to!!!!), NYC, Philadelphia. I know New Jersey in particular has some very harsh liquor laws, so hopefully there is a compromise to be made somewhere. 2. So many good games did not get casted! thorzain/huk/select/etc. 3. Cost/value if you didn't get half price tickets. I got my tickets half price, but if I didn't I would have felt like I didn't really get much for it considering that there was pretty much nothing else "officially" going on except for the games. There should be some perks to being at the live event - player panels, signing/meet and greets, things like that. Overall really positive experience! Looking forward to the next 4 events, thank you so much to David Ting and all the IPL staff. | ||

Make sure nobody runs down your internetpole (lol). So there, thats it for complaints. Overall awesome. Really appreciate the amount of "silly" in between the games. Deathlord vs Goliath for example. If there is no "real" game to go, doing silly stuff is awesome. I wasnt even watching from the start. I regret that. I will definitely be watching more of the live tournament next time. | ||
