To imagine that season 1 is meant for a test run of sorts...

Can't wait for season 2 :D!

I agree. It seems so much smoother and very fast paced. The rotation of commentators is a pretty sweet deal as well.

I don't really see how IGN is that much better than NASL? Only problem is the audio right now.

Also, IGN is free now, but I doubt it's going to be free when they start the big Season 2 League.

@Jayrod, you're 100% correct it's true that these play-by-play casters are much more accessible for the overwhelming majority of people, ESPECIALLY people who are not well versed in SC2. 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.


Poker is a more apt analogy. Too bad Starcraft happens at an auctioneer's pace so the casting is much harder to tune out. I'm all for IPL the way it is, I still get my "high level" games/analysis/commentary from GSL. And this will greatly help spread the word and hype about eSports in the west.
My life is a chip in your pile. Ante up!

Remember the Season 1 of IPL was just their test run. I imagine Season 2 they'll have a proper dual casting team and more players.

it is noob friendly but completely ridiculous that they cast from replays that are weeks old. the results from entire season 1 have been leaked which is unacceptable for something that has such great "production quality"

Not really. The frame rate for NASL is pretty awful. Load up both streams and compare it. Sometimes its so choppy you can literally see units teleport across the screen.

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. None of us are paid.

I see. I take back what I said then.

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


We are partnered with the NASL as their official community, they have their own production team. We are the production team for IPL's broadcast as well as the official community. Sorry if that was unclear!

I think the production, the stream quality, and audio are awesome. The games themselves haven't been the best, but you can't really blame the IPL for players dominating others. I believe their main goal was accessibility for new players and going off this I think the single play-by-play caster is actually the best idea. Really if you have a solo analysis caster or a duo its still just to complex for a new person to sit down and watch. By using ONLY a play-by-play its the ideal situation for new viewers and just by looking at Husky and HD's youtube channels you have the precedent. The analysis might not be there and ideally I personally would like 2 casters, one for analysis and 1 for play-by-play, but I think its excellent so far.

You should tell IGN to pay you then! It's the most professional production since GSL.

They need winner interviews though, that's something NASL has over them.
