EPTI would love if they did a 2-man commentary team with one good play-by-play caster (e.g. TB or Wheat) and one analytical caster (e.g. Day9, Artosis, iNcontroL, etc. – pay them whatever they ask, it'd be worth it) rather than the somewhat monotonous solo casting.

Edit: oh never mind he has less experience with SC I think Oh snap, the animations they have look like street fighter (the win animation  ) and general awesomeness.Just dont like his personality honestly. | ||

You do realize that e-sports won't grow if every cast is jam packed with a bunch of technical stuff or tips to improve your play? This style without the technical stuff is the only way you are going to ever appeal to a broader audience... period. SC2 is exclusive enough as it is That's why you have a pair of casters, one who leads in analysis and one who leads in introductory information and play-by-play. If you have a solely casual oriented caster, you're likely to put off the hardcore fans. If you have a solely analytical caster you're likely to not be able to rake in newer casual audiences. It's about balance. Tastosis works, Day9 and DJWheat made a good pair too, it's about strong duos who can balance. | ||

I just did a side-by-side comparison with NASL and the difference is just astounding. | ||

D'aww I definitely think that the experience could be improved by having two commentators on at the same time. TB is a pretty good play-by-play announcer, but a color commentator to go with him would make IPL golden for me. | ||

NASL's funding isn't completely clear but it's obvious they don't have a huge name like IGN backing them, and hence really can't afford the same as the IPL, at least not for the same price. Notwithstanding that NASL has its issues at the moment, but there's been enough debate about those I'd say All NASL needs is the editor to change the encoding. That would greatly help reduce the lag on vods, the live stream and fix the audio problems in one fell swoop. | ||

If you can't really see the difference that was to be expected between a Rupert Murdoch owned company and seven amateur esports fans, no matter how you try to spin it, what you're saying is that you want the NASL to fail. Unless what you're trying to say is that you want all media billionaires in the world to get into esports. In that case, I'm all ears as to how you're going to do it. Still, we should keep being nice to the IPL so they spoil us more, that way even GOM may fear going down in the pecking order of the community, 'cause really, half of what keeps GOM up there is Tastosis Edit: ^^^ You know, some people don't want to know what you just said... As has been said several times, this event was produced by the team at WellPlayed.org, which is not composed of employees of IGN. We are an entirely separate group. *Edited | ||
