Obviously, ign announcement april 4th, NASL kicks off april 5th meaning IGN will be one of the NASL sponsors that have refused to show themselves so far!

^ that would be my guesss


Is this referencing the HDH Invitational 2 or something? That would be quite interesting if IGN brought that sort of mainstream exposure to the games.

No, HD is running a tournament on his own.



Considering IGN is sponsoring The HD World Tournament, I'm assuming that there's some kind of connection between that event and IGN's secret plans.

Similar to the Jinro/Idra Showmatch to announce the NASL.

That's possible. I'm just hoping that their announcement is going to be a way of distributing or advertising current content rather than creating more. There will already be far, far more SC2 than anyone could consume on a regular schedule this year. Yet another individual league would seem superfluous.

Oh, gotcha. Does anyone have a link to the details? Is the HDH2 not happening?

I think it would be safe to assume that we will not be seeing HDH2 any time soon.

Very interested to see what this is, hope it's awesome! Regardless, IGN is a great site and this could really bring some new people into Starcraft. Gotta love IGN for putting an effort into promoting E-sports, which i think is something gaming websites really don't do enough of.

At the end of the video Chobot says she will be working on a secret project for IGN. Coincidence?

It took until page 3 for some to suspect that. IGN might also be helping produce/partnership. Or IGN was doing a news piece/launch section on NASL and is maybe opening an Esports section.

Also, did IGN just hire Root's manager?

http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/fclnz/i_am_the_managing_director_for_root_gaming_ama/

So it's ROOTedward. Then look at the top of the post here:

http://www.ign.com/blogs/ignedward/2011/03/19/igns-announcement-of-an-announcement/

"Player Card" "Level 4" "rootedward" "IGNedward Member Since: March 12, 2011"

So, yeah, something "big" is going on, in addition to Incontrol being in San Francisco.

Edit: Spelling is guud!

It might just be IGN becoming an exclusive reporter of NASL news or something along those lines, and having Chobot as the main correspondent for them. The type of thing you see with ESPN etc.

I don't know what chobot would do as a main correspondent. It's not like mlg where you can wander the floor interviewing players. It's all done online. She going to interview everyone on skype?
