We are the production team for IPL's broadcast as well as the official community. Sorry if that was unclear! What about "official community" is *not* an oxymoron lol? Do you mean that wellplayed is like your public affairs branch? | ||

I also have two constructive notes to add: 1) As has already been mentioned: the casters could be improved by pairing them. Solo casts are never as good as dual. 2) I'd love some chit-chat inbetween games, going over what happened / strats, talking about the stats we are seeing and talking about where the players stand in the league when the overlay pops up. Nothing too long, just some simple comments to make the whole experience more cohesive and more like a "show" rather than "youtube videos linked together". The time between games doesn't have to increase (or if it did , only by 30 seconds or so), just add some talk over what is already there. If these two small issues were resolved this league would be absolutely perfect and blow everything else out of the water. The only thing better is live casts à la GSL, but I realise that doesn't seem to be viable in NA. | ||

Otherwise great tourney Personally, first time I got spoiled over the results was here at TL when going over a certain fan club where some users had seen the match history and saw it fit with the brackets of the frist round of matches of the league. Then, the brackets at IGN's site were uploaded with the results up. | ||

like nasl, i turn off the volume on the screen and every 10 minutes the olive garden ad comes in FULL BLAST and the only way to shut it off is to turn my speakers off. blar. Use adblock. When people insist on broadcasting ads in an unnecessary and overly irritating way this is the best way to force change. | ||

IPL and NASL need to merge because the NASL production is sooo terrible. | ||

They're damn entertaining to watch and while they miss things, it still makes for good viewership. In my opinion, IPL should have dual casters. Keep TB and HD and the lineup they have now, but pair them up with casters with more analytical knowledge. This way you can reach out to the casual crowd who really just care about watching stuff blow up and a guy screaming about it  while the more hardcore fans can enjoy the analytical, higher level casting. | ||

As has been said several times, this event was produced by the team at WellPlayed.org. None of us are paid. Paid or not you obviously have proper experience/training which the paid NASL staff does not. | ||

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. 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. As for the players, this is an introductory test series. The 16 players are invites, the top 4 get automatically put into the real series which will be IPL Season 2. The second season will be a 32 player series with 28 of those qualifying through matches and the top 4 from this tournament carrying over. | ||

Really doing things well, they contact the community and listen, have professionals carrying out production. Great stuff. | ||

No need to hate on NASL though. We should all be grateful that we have these 2 new great tournaments. | ||

I want them both to be great but having an unpaid editing/production staff massively outshine one that is being paid? You have to acknowledge that. If this tournament shows anything it is that the SC2 community will just as quickly praise a good event as chastise a bad one. We are not haters. | ||
