sadly I need to watch canucks v blackhawks and play portal 2. I watched 5 min though and apart from casting, stream is almost perfect

having played through portal 2 myself you will enjoy that game more then watching the stream.

Loving the IGN stream... Just wish there were more analytical casters, but TotalBiscuit is pretty amazing with his voice

love the post game statistics. I know APM isn't everything, but it gives average joes a comparison (seleCT omg). Anyone think Agh's picture kinda looks like Billy Mayes? lol

That. I thought I was just gonna have this up while I do work but every time I scroll through my tabs and see it I get sucked in for 10-15 minutes minimum. Really fantastic work overall, I can only imagine what later seasons will be like.

Alright, so overall, amazing.

Some of the nitpicks and suggestions thought...

Team casters, solo casting is kinda "bleh".

Interviews with players after victories, a quick 2-3 minute interview couldn't hurt and really helps get invested in a player, gives a little bit of insight to viewers.

That's... pretty much... all I can think of.

IGN Proleague's production quality is absolutely amazing. The stream is incredibly stable and the picture quality is amazing. Easily the highest quality online viewing experience in NA to date. I can't wait to see how this evolves in the future.

Stick an Artosis in with the TotalBiscuit and you'd get your excellent analysis and your godlike enthusiastic play-by-play. Just find a way to get them in the same country...

I think its pretty cool, and its a great tournament, but I find myself staying tuned in because it seems like its just games- there isnt too much on the line i guess o.o
whatever the case, i find myself keep going back to it <3.

Aren't they both using Justin.tv? I don't understand how one stream can be more stable than the other.

that minimap they have makes no sence can you tell me anything at all thats going on there?

its cool but it doesn't have a point. oh the game was a lot further gone then what the castor told me it was. it would be a lot better if it actualy told something that wasn't on the stats page that no one really looks at anyway. how many colossi where killed? bases lost? k/d ratio would be fun as well.

pretty but boaring sad to say thats what the IPL is looking to me. was a HUGE fan and would have hyped it up like hell but the gloss wore off for me and I just can't watch it above the nasl at this point

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!

can you please help nasl? for the love of god fix their fps and audio....

The production is very nice, reminds me of TSL. I really dislike the solo casting, so I guess I'll just have to wait for PainUser to join the casts to provide some pro level insight and have the stream on mute (also I simply cannot listen to Totalbiscuit, it's just bad).

As far as this talk about NASL vs IGN I don't think people really realize how much more difficult it is to run a 10 week league with 5 matches per day casted live on a 2 day buffer versus the 2 week IGN league with a lot fewer players on a 1week (?) buffer casted from replays. Perhaps this is what the NASL should switch to as it would allow them to add a bunch of features to bring their production up to par. I do absolutely love IGNs production.
