Just noticed there seems to be some affiliation with SCRanks? Links on IGN point to them and scranks profile have a special "Pro Gamer" tag. Awesome job on that!

HOLY PRODUCTION... it looks pretty good!

Give a shoutout to KaplOw. He's the brilliant artist behind this poster and he's working with WellPlayed on all the graphics for the IPL season 1.

IPL is so exciting. It's not a huge competition now, but if they see it being successful it could grow at an enormous rate. IGN has the type of influence that can bring non-SC2 players into the game streams. Very, very exciting stuff. Thanks Edward! ^^

Nasl, TSL and IPL now.. I love not having to wake up SUPER early to catch good games. This is going to be one sick year for starcraft.

Loving IPL right now. ^^

Oh man, those portraits truly grasp the personalities of the players, especially Sheth's

Very cool. I'm really digging the comic book type artwork.

Idra looks like an evil genius... Ohwait.

Haha! That was the point, this was my first try at making him look like a true evil genius, but I think that was a little too much:

The pictures are awesome (though anyone notice some people seem to have gone on a diet in their portraits?) but the random shots during the interviews? It's pretty cheesy feeling and doesn't feel like it really works. Some of the shots are okay when they're normal looking shots (like TT1 staring at the camera or the NA players standing together) but the dramatic turns (axslav during Sheth interview) and smoke screens kinda detract from the experience for me. Anyone agree?

Again, otherwise I think it's all pretty awesome and I'm very much looking forward to what IGN can do.

No interview with IdrA? :{

Well IdrA also doesn't believe that personality, interviews, etc. belong in a video game (even though his personality boosts his popularity for sure).
