This is not the place to talk about LoL viewership.
This is also not a place to caster bash/balance whine/flame, etc.
Please don't argue about how many views LoL has, or which game is better, or we will be upset. (added page 174)
Also, lay off Scarlett please. (added page 227) |

That's the thing, they're not living up to expectations. At least not to mine. They got so many awesome players at this event and it seems like they're not even trying to cast as many of the most interesting games as possible.

SaSe is the lone foreign hope

Yeah, the Lani show is great. :3

NaNi as unamused with the stream stopping as we are now he cant see his buddy play..

They're being played out right now, just not being streamed.

I'm disappointed too, but I figure that it's best not to get too worked up about it. The issues that IPL 3 had were much, much worse (Bnet blacklist, Internet downage), and while I feel that IPL 4 can certainly be much better, I also realize that they are trying, and I won't worry or press them too much.

Tails played pretty poorly today, I guess IPL decided that there would be less interest from viewers in seeing Tails play.

imagine how much more entertaining and how much more people will be willing to buy their product if they did bonus stuff like MLG has done and casted the extra games? I'm sure people wold be eager to cast if you've asked them to, and teams like liquid would be more than happy to further support IPL through their website and promotions as their players are being casted.
There are positive things about this event (the # of koreans, LaniBot/u stream) but it could be better. It's after all the fans that make the make or break the event and as fans here...I think we all want more games.

Poor White-Ra. :/ Idra is 0-2 (1-4) and the only possible chance he can even have a chance of advancing is if he 2-0's both Jjakji and GhostKing/Taeja to have a 2-2 (5-4) record. That's sad. Holy TvT Batman.

If you are gonna host a tournament this big be willing to have 4 streams constantly showing games and show the games until they are all actually done.
Doesn't take much work, I don't even want the games casted honestly. Give the perspective of any player and most people should be happy with that.
Really frustrating first day, been spoiled by MLG and also the flawless GSL production. >_<

This schedule was made a while ago, I think. Even so, it's weird to have Alive twice. I can see maybe Nestea, MKP, MMA, Idra, etc. But Alive?

Well at least idra got 4 terrans in his group. Time for him to show off this "Beastly" ZvT people talk about!
I don't think Idra will win another map this tournament. Jjakji and Taeja would tear him apart. Not sure about GhostKing's TvZ but he's also a beast.

many of you are missing one key factor GSL shows consistency playing a 3 month tournament or however long it is and taking the whole thing means that consistently over 3 months you were playing very well if not the best. MMA is still the best player in the world people are giving the crown to early to MKP he is good and his accomplishments are definitely racking up but MMA is a more fitting/consistent player to be considered the best. IFFFFF MKP wins ipl4 then he would be making a strong case because ipl 4 is about as stacked as code S but even still jet lag, nerves, and various other things play a role in performance either way we can all agree the best TWO players currently are MMA and MKP. :D
|
Really sucks that they decide not to show one of the most important matches in the tournament when a foreigner has a chance to enter pool play from the insane open bracket. T_T
|
Idra's pretty much done this tournament... White-Ra is pretty much out as well. Unless Sase storm's an upset vs Parting, Stephano is probably the only player with a chance at winning it for the foreigners
