While the casting is not quite as insightful as a pro player might provide, I'm enjoying the IGN audio a ton more than the NASL as I switch back and forth between the two. Although, I must say Khaldor is a fantastic caster

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)



Agreed IMO his game knowledge is becoming quite impressive [he knows the names of all the upgrades, (something even the most venerated casters often lack)]

I just realized that on the summary page the map is actually a heat map of sorts and shows army movements. How did they do that??

Hate to break it to you this way, but....NASL is not live.

Right, but the casting is recorded while the game is happening, and it's aired only a couple hours later, am I right?


I've always wondered what the benefit is from commenting the games live and then only broadcasting them later after post production. It seems like a lot of problems NASL suffers from (odd structure, comments that don't sync with aired content, casters disappearing then reappearing, allow them to fall victim to pauses and other in-game difficulties, etc) all happen because they choose to do this.

If the games were commented from replays or if they were commented live... if they're both broadcasted on a delay, what's the point?

The only thing I can think of is the ability to say: "Here at NASL, we don't comment games from replays." All to trick people who hate replays and attempt to appease them. But it doesn't actually do anything positive for the live feed.

Unless I'm missing something, a lot of their problems would be fixed if they cast from replays.

Very nice from the IPL, but people trash talking the NASL are seriously getting out of proportion... not even GOM has this kind of production, and it's simple enough why: Rupert Murdoch. 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. 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!


That clears up the confusion, thank you for your response

Keep up the good work!

IPL is rivaling the production quality of the GSL.

Take note, this is how you do it folks.

How is IPL making money anyways? Haven't watched the whole thing but haven't seen any ads so far.


No ads on day 1 and day 2 as a present to fans for helping them getting 1000 facebook fans.

Otherwise there will be ads between games and ads on VODs.

They plan on making money from advertising, shouldn't be too intrusive.

Positives : Production value. Crisp stream, audio. Very smoothly run game to game. No real hiccups so far. Excellent endings stats overlay. I think all tourneys should add something like this.

Negatives (rooms for improvement rather, take this as constructive criticism)


Single casted games. Hard for one guy to catch everything, plus commentate as well as provide deep insight. Some casters are fairly low level and have less game knowledge than many viewers, which they will improve in that area with time, but it can be semi-amusing at times.

Player pool is interesting. Don't understand why agh is there, I mean, he's good. But was there qualifiers or did they just pick people at random? I like to see new faces though.

also, too much of the phrase "ladies and gentlemen" :D


Overall, great league. How they continue in the good, and improve the bad. Other leagues can learn from some things they do, as well as the IPL learning from leagues.
