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


Cmon dude. 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.


Agreed. NASL seems to have lower production value than any other larger tournament right now (GSL, TSL, IGN) maybe only rivaling MLG.

IPL just blew NASL out of the water. Can't wait for the actual league.

IPL's success is actually a perfect example of NOT listening to players.

NASL has the bulk of their capital wrapped up in a robust prize pool; professional, experienced players as commentators; and a long, extensive format that gives all players a reasonably even playing field to ascend in the tournament.

IPL has a reasonably decent graphic design (I can draw better portraits than that), and play-by-play casters that can make any game sound epic.

They've pulled the wool over the 'hardcore' community's eyes. And I geniunely respect that.

IPL is the true "NASL" :p volunteers outperforming paid workers ftw.

really enjoying IPL atm, my only gripe is the solo casting and lack of analytical casters (apart from painuser) imo play-by-play commentators should never cast without an analytical caster, casuals will get bored of seeing the "same units over and over" since they don't understand the subtleties that make one opponent win or lose

I hope other big tournaments start incorporating that slamming win/portrait graphic at the end of games. It really adds a ton of excitement, GJ IGN.

True but don't forget the prize pool is way lower and the season is way shorter too. Although IPL stated that this is just the first season and next ones will be way bigger in prize pools but maybe then they will charge a fee. Just a wild guess. Anyways congratulations IPL your tournament is great and I am enjoying it a lot.

NASL runs for three months, massively bigger prizepool, more good players, in depth analysis by experienced pros, post-game player interviews and thoughts... and somehow this just isn't good enough for some people in the community. makes me sad.

I was super impressed with the overall quality of the IPL.

1. They kept everything moving along.
2. No commercials.
3. Great stream quality.
4. Everything was free.
5. Great casting.
6. Great extras and flare to the before and after of the games (like stats and "WIN!" and pictures of the players).
7. No huge mistakes.

I'm not sure about this part. I'm pretty sure that TotalBiscuit isn't a professional (although he's a great caster), and I'm pretty sure HD is casting IPL too. DJ Wheat isn't exactly a pro either.

And on the other hand, Gretorp and iNcontroL are actual pros, and they're casting NASL.


Yeah, that's actually his point.

for starting off its pretty fuckin awesome. very pleased with IGN PL.

the dual casters are needed but I think i heard DJ Wheat said that will come in Season 2. All in All fantastic start. def prefer DJwheat/total biscuit over inc/gretorp. just much smoother.

also whoever said IPL was done by volunteers and not paid people is wrong... the people who've been working on IPL were HIRED by IGN full time...

far from "volunteer", more like career.

Yeah I have no idea what the fuck I was doing there, I've never even used that phrase before. I believe I consciously stopped myself from using it in the later casts and with good reason, it's not even appropriate in the context it was used.

thats probably never going to happen. It's much better for the scene if they were competitors rather than a monopoly merger.
I only make 5 actions per minute. But since I use all my time deliberating and planning, my 5 actions are so brutally devastating that children cry out and grown men weep.
