Don't forget that this starts in just about 7 hours! Right now the poll favors Dignitas, any thoughts as to why?

Honestly I am not that surprised. There are a lot of streams active at any time and a lot of tournaments also offers vods. Therefore people shop around and watch only what they enjoy the most as there just is more content available then that there is time in the day.

I personally won't be tuning in anymore to this series (tonight was my first) due to the following reasons.
* I personally don't like the casting combo of HD/Cats. Not to say that they are bad, I just don't like them.
* [Note: This one is more accurate for IPL2, I have no idea if this was valid for the IPL Team Arena.] Looking at the strategies employed it looks like there is quite a big delay between the day the games were played and the day they were broadcasted.
* Biggest problem: You don't spoil a game before it airs. That also means that you don't say about the 8th game in a BO9 that it is the last game.

Edit:

Looking at the view count for the EG Master Cup (a comparable event although without the All-Kill format) I think the low view count for the IPL-TA is because of the casters used.

* IPL-TA - 2.5k viewers (IIRC) - Cats/HD
* EG-MC - 3k viewers - DJwheat/IdrA

Now before people say the 500 people is not a big difference: I fully agree. However the Day9 daily runs at the same time as the EG-MC does and it has 13k viewers. I think it is fair to say that without the Daily the difference would be bigger though.

I saw up to 5k during the IPL Team Arena stream so I don't know what you were talking about.

Also EGMCS Started right as IPL Team arena ended.
