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. exactly! i'm glad there are others that share the same sentiment as i do. IPL is a great addition to esports but besides the glitter, it lacks in every other aspect of the game that true fans really care about. | ||

players granted, but the rest is to debate. I really hope NASL did watch with pen and paper in hand what IGN delivered today and start going to improve their stuff. There needs to be competition, and right now IPL just walks over NASL. | ||

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. all good man  , really lookin forward to more, was a great first night! | ||

I think IPL>NASL for the following reasons: 1) IPL felt super noob friendly. They EXPLAINED even basic things. Casters like HD and TB admit they are not going for the day9 level analysis. I am glad IPL went for the fun/exciting feel with CASTERS casting, and not players casting. (Yes I know there are exceptions in that Painuser will cast for IPL and diggity for NASL) 2) Production value blew NASL out of the water...not sure anyone can argue that. 3) The single caster instead of duo...now hear me out. I PREFER having a duo if the duo is a pair that have great interaction--tastosis/daywheat for example. But people like TB have made a name for themself as a solo caster and he can handle the job. Right now my issue with NASL is that when incontrol isnt there, we have gretorp jumping partners and not really getting into a groove with his partner, this will be fixed with time I know, but it goes with #2 in that the current state of casting I have to give the edge to IPL 3-a) I HAAAATE when NASL has 1 live caster and 1 skype/vent/teamspeak in and that it is very evident one person is not in the studio. The distant sound of the cocaster is a peev of mine. By having a solo caster on IPL they have avoided this. That is all, I just hope as NASL and IPL go into future seasons we have players in one OR the other, and not a bunch of people in both. | ||

Awesome stream, zero lag, great graphics and production, very minimal downtime between each match When the guy from IGN came on for SotG, he was hyping up the IPL a bit, but suffice to say, I think most of us can agree that they delivered. | ||

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. How can you not understand that NASL is paying people to do a job that people are doing for free with IPL and the paid people are performing not just a little bit worse, but alot? They have not fixed their sound issues after seven fucking episodes. They still have fps issues that anyone in production would recognize as unacceptable. These are not personal preference issues like casters. At some point you have to stop being an esports cheerleader and be realistic. SC2 community is hungry for a good quality broadcast we can follow regularly, up to this point NASL is not it, not even close but IPL is showing every sign that they can do it especially once they have a good player base. | ||

WAY better players, i didn't catch all of the IPL but what i did catch was fun and all, amazing production value but......... can you name one epic game? Idras games were idra killing catz base in yo base? damn good so maybe but anything else? select dominating like he should,. seems like it was blah from players with a lot of wow factor in production like i said i didnt catch it all so i could be wrong, still a amazing tournament set up they have going on | ||
