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. They stated themselves that they are unpaid. So either they are lying or you are a moron. | ||

And to think that NASL has SO MUCH more money, and still IPL's production is better... | ||

Wheat and TB rocked ! Qualiy was A+ IPL and dreamhack are probably the best examples of how tournaments & leagues should be modeled. | ||

Phrases like that alienate the people that have no idea what's going on with in this game. SC2 needs new people to survive, the "true fans" are the ones that are already playing and will watch these leagues no matter what. Community needs to grow to survive. | ||

By "official community" we mean WellPlayed is the official place to go and discuss these events and matches. It is sanctioned by NASL and IGN for this purpose. As for IGN, we have an extra responsibility of editing and producing their content. This is also another service that WellPlayed offers. We understand that not everyone in the whole world knows about our services (yet) so thank you for your questions! | ||

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. Well, judging from this, this and this, the production crew certainly appears to be made up of volunteers. Major props to WellPlayed for an outstanding show tonight! | ||

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 Well the IPL is more like the real North American League. In that regard, the NASL's large prize pool is what draws the great players. When IGN offers something comparable, the matchups will be just as good. | ||

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. but all of NASL's problems are technical all of IPL's are fundamental. more then one caster? gretorp getting better every night inc is a legit player thats actually playing well in the league. Diggity coming in and doing well. and kalador who is a very very good. TB is a horrid caster that got on my nerves in a single game. Yesterday I watched 3 games of Sheth vs rainbow godlike 40+ games in each one. They where better then anything that IPL had today. poorly done 4 gate rush after poorly done 4 gate rush does not a good stream make. and if tomarrow somehow they fix the stream and it isn't total shit whos a lot better? hell even MLG's going to have a great stream next event. the gloss is going to come off the IPL and people are gona start seeing that. It looks fucking amazing but that can only go so far | ||

IPL cannot compete with the player lineup and the amount of matches NASL has right now. Lets remember why we love starcraft so much. We love the players and the competition! | ||

Uhhh interview with Alex from IGN at wellplayed.org: Q: Who are you working with on this project? A: We're working closely with Justin.tv to provide a great viewing experience for all of our viewers. In addition, we have hired on the team at Well Played Productions to assist with our post-production efforts to make the IPL as polished and professional as possible. link | ||

I love these so called 'true fans' of eSports taking a dump on everything they possibly can while contributing nothing of their own to the scene they supposedly live and breath. Thank God they are only a tiny vocal minority or eSports would be in real trouble. | ||
