It's just kind of disconnected given most people know the results and the games are being (broad)cast closer to the second qualifier than they are to when they were played. Hell this conversation is happening in the qualifier 2 thread when the games mentioned above are from qualifier 1, as is the commentary being discussed from earlier, primarily because there's a wide spread of threads and people aren't sure how close games being played tie to games being broadcast I doubt this weekend gets too many sign ups given MLG is on, but it's prime time for some lesser players + a couple more koreans to try and have a bash though. Anyway, much <3 to the IPL, it's a seriously quality product, but it would benefit from maintaining a more centralised thread structure in the tournament forum for these smaller qualifier events etc imo. | ||

This qualifier doesn't take place this weekend. It's next weekend (Sep. 3rd). So people still have plenty of time to sign up and it's not going to conflict with MLG at all. | ||

Completely agree with you, the information for the different IPL games is always so awful that it makes me wonder how they can even put out prize money on this crap. I mean you can never easily find out who is playing who, past results, what they are actually doing on the stream and the casters are usually terrible as well. Then again considering it's IGN behind it i'm not the least bit surprised, anyone who has spent more than 5 minutes at IGN.com knows that I'm talking about | ||

Even if you didn't know the results, there's no perspective of why the games matter - are they the semifinal or a round 1 match? What is at stake? Who else is doing well, and who will the winner have to play next? There's less depth to the games they show than a showmatch since even in a showmatch someone wins and gets some money. Might as well be casting random ladder games between two players for what it's worth. I'm pretty sure not everyone knows these results and if you want live qualifiers then you need the people there at the office. That's not going to happen in any tournament other than GSL so you should stop hoping. | ||

Neither of these pages have any information on what matches I will be seeing on the stream today. Also, are these matches from the bracket that we already have the results on? EDIT: They are and now I just spoiled myself :-/ | ||

I loved watching IPL and IPL2, but keeping up with the brackets and whatnot in the formats you release them is kinda tough. I think my lack of dedication comes from the fact that it's hard to hype a match that's already been played. Just my two cents. | ||
