Wheat is also a great caster and the IPL is so far amazing and noone can deny that it's making the NASL league look terrible especially considering they're trying to charge $25 for their service. Noone can deny its making NASL look terrible? Uh huh.... well.. Firstly, I don't think the viewer count on IGN's first day is indicative of anything.. NASL had more viewers on their first day. But IGN is new an exciting so naturally ppl are going to watch it on the first day. Secondly, it takes more than some cool transitions and graphics to make a good show for me. Personally, if a game isn't being cast, I'm not watching so I could give two shits what kinds of cool production value they have. Thirdly, you don't need to pay $25 to watch NASL. You can if you want HD, but I have to watch both streams on <720p otherwise it lags uncontrollably so your point is valid for people who have awesome bandwidth. Fourthly, solo casters? DJ Wheat? TB? You can keep all that... I mean I love DJ Wheat, but I prefer casters that have high level insight. These guys can only do the play by play.. I don't need that done for me.. My crux is that I care about what happens between when the game starts and the gg. Because of this.. NASL blows IGN out of the water. That being said.. IGN is looking good -hopefully they continue after this season. Should be good for western esports | ||

For now, Ive got both eyes on IGN, but that doesn't mean I won't be watching for how good NASL gets in 1-2 months ^^ | ||

But for those of us who are it's a little painful...then again i'm sure that's how any sport + casters are I feel like sports casters are generally a balanced pair as I mentioned above but it's important to note that most sports aren't as technical as Starcraft so it's not a huge deal. A good comparison is Poker though, if you take a look at some of the casting from the World Series of Poker, there is a caster who focuses on the players, backgrounds, jokes and another who focuses on the cards, the plays, yada yada... It's about striking a balance to appease the new audience and the hardcore fans. | ||

I just want to point out guys, let's not bandwagon on IGN over NASL, these guys are testing the waters with a $5000 event, NASL has committed $400,000 over THREE Seasons. I'd rather watch amazing games over production value any-day, but I'll give it to IGN, they are doing a good job and I'll continue to support them as well. | ||

Then that begs the question, you also work with the NASL, what's up with the "humongous" difference in perceived quality? | ||
