I don't really like the casting style of TB and wheat. I have nothing against them, or their style in itself. And in fact, I think it's fantastic that IPL is going for a broader audience with their choice of casters. But I prefer a bit more "analysis". NASL (at the moment) has more of my favourite players too. Whitera, Nada, etc. I just can't pass that up. And there have been some really entertaining sets. It'll be interesting to see who plays eventually plays in IPL. Either way, I think it's amazing that we now have two good leagues, both of which I hope get better over time. 2011 is gunna be awesme! I agree completely with the casting comment, without pros commentating you don't really "know" what's going on. Play by play commentating misses so many of the nuances of build orders (probe cut here, feign aggression as part of the build there) it's really hard to analyze what's exactly going on. | ||

I would watch NASL, but for me (free watcher), the audio quality is so bad it's unwatchable. I don't want to hear some guy on a 32 kbps skype connection and then Gretorp with a bad mic (or encoding). The audio on NASL is really, really bad. Also, I don't know why they lag so much and IGN's seems to not? IGN's quality is off the chain. | ||

But to say something, i preffer the double commentary than just one, it feels more like a monologue xP. But anyway both casters are awesome by themself so maybe is just a habit thing | ||

But, having worked briefly in graphics professionally in the past and I'd just want to give props the team who came up with the idea of the street fighter style win and introducing screens plus the simplfied stat screens at the end of the game. From listening to them on teamspeak and not having a clue about Starcraft they they were obviously making the link between Street fighter style format at the start and also having a score screen similar to FPS games at the end. I know its hardly substantial proof and I don't even know if this was the intention of it but its small subtle touches like this that may just catch the attention of people who are unaware just how fun and entertaining SC2 is to watch and play. I'd just like to give a thumbs up to them and IGN for putting this tournament together, I really think this is the sort of tournament that has huge potential to reach out to a wider gaming audience. | ||

Two complaints I would like addressed: There are no breaks or recaps of why people are winning, for newcomers this is really hard to get in to and as someone who knows the SC2 scene quite well I found myself lost at multiple points when I left the room for a bit and there was a whole new series playing. Some continuity and transitions between games would help. On the same tangent give me time to go to the bathroom! Pause between games please. Secondly... I hope the second season has a better cast of players, or some sort of qualification process. Some of these matchups are so onesided. | ||

Sure they are lacking a huge list of players and some analytical casters, but those are the EASIEST things to get. They have shown everyone that they are absolutely serious about this tournament, and with the bigger prize pool for next season, overcoming their hurdles (players and casters) will be absolutely simple. I bet players and casters will BEG IGN to be in the IPL. It's seriously that amazing. Post game stats? Amazing. Street fighter voice + presentation? Amazing. Sick overlay? Amazing. Super excited for the $100k season 2. | ||

TotalBiscuit can be hard to pair with someone, I feel like he works better on his own but overall I feel like a strong pair of casters is just the way to go for a tournament. | ||

Total biscuit is actually providing some good insight from time to time on why players are making the decisions that they are (yeah my grammar sux haha) | ||
