TSL3's opening weekend had like 50k and has hit 40k the rest of the time and thats something people have been waiting for. No way IPL will get that many viewers off the bat. | ||

It's not close to what a full production should be, but this is the first night of the first league. I can only see it improving, and that's what's so good about it. Simlarily to the NASL in that, if you are guaranteed to be locked down for more events, then I expect production to rise and continually smooth out each week and get better and better. Like I said, great, great starting point and can't wait until next season (or even later this season perhaps). | ||

And even in those ocasions it is fixed quickly. TSL casts over TeamSpeak, just a correction. | ||

Had to mute TB's part. We need better commentators! Also, have two commentators, watching one guy talk about this game....I'd rather just watch a Youtube vid. | ||

IPL2 is confirmed, and from our point of view success is not only gauged by how many concurrent users are watching the live stream, but also how many VOD views we get, and most importantly, how well received we are by the greater community. where can we see the vods? | ||

It was a fantastic production. I will definitely be spreading the word. You guys have set the standard really high. | ||

I believe they removed the commercial for the first few days because they got a certain amount of followers on twitters or facebook likes. Basically i think IGN is looking at this in the long term ie they do not try to make profit immediately but first try to lure more people in | ||

unless casters have worked together before, they usually wind up talking over each other or putting in long silences. I though TB and Wheat struck a nice balance between analytical and exciting, which will really go a long way towards making Starcraft 2 more enjoyable, let's face it, most people don't care about the unit composition unless they are watching for tips, or because they are hardcore fans, personally, i watch casts for enjoyment, I'll watch replays for information  great job IPL, Wheat and TB, keep up your awesome work! | ||

I think that's a smart marketing move, and I don't blame them for putting ads in there eventually. I certainly don't mind watching commercials between games for this level of production | ||

Really cool to hear and see the team behind this incredible production. No wonder it was so excellent and I'm sure will continue to be. | ||
