It can't always be free TSL, free IPL, free showmatches forever. 1. Get tons of viewers for free events 2. Show sponsors advertising opportunity 3. ??? 4. Free event forever and make money for org running it | ||

I would completely agree. It's almost like watching a youtube channel covering a double elim tournament. | ||

The only thing I don't like about it, is that it really does not hype the players. It gives very little back story to each person. I feel that is where the NASL is doing better then the IGN. but overall I was extremely pleased with the IGN production P.S I prefer dual casters. DJ wheat and Total Biscuit can only be so entertaining solo for so long. | ||

No big problems, although one game (second game of iNcontroL's, with HD/ PU casting, iirc) wasn't synced properly. But that was it. Very impressive overall  | ||

Just group up some of the casters and it should be all good, shouldn't it be? Because it's casted from a replay, it introduces a synchronization problem. | ||

So there's some kind of mistake there. Also, the way the stream works is making it impossible for me to watch the games. My net isn't good enough to watch live, and I can't download the VODs, nor I can let it loading because it'll only load a couple minutes and then stop. It needs a constant stream in order to load everything, and as I said, my net isn't good enough. I know it's not their fault my net sux, but I'm just saying people with bad internet connection won't be able to watch the games. That's sad. | ||

You can find them on the videos page @ www.ign.com/ipl | ||

TB hypes the battles and I enjoy listening to him, I think he's the only caster that Im feel safe putting on speakers if my family is in the same or adjecent room. Sure he doesn't add too much insight, but he's fun, and well for someone like me... I can analyse the situation, and most of you should be able to two. I feel you guys don't care what game you're watching but rather how good the commentator is. If you watch hockey would you be lost without a commentator too? My advice is learn the game. Djwheat - I really really dislike his solo casting. Very often he doesn't know what he's talking about but he's so confident with what he says. Maybe to the casual person it sounds right but when he's saying how someone is ahead, or how he needs to get this... When clearly the player is just stalling for broodlords is bleh. He can do play by play, but his analysis is really far from correct, and it just bugs me when someone is so confident about wrong things constantly - I think djwheat needs to play the game more or just cast with two people. The Painuser with HD? was a good commentary. They did a solid job, I have no complaints. There's nothing that really stood out, but nothing that was bad , at all... Which alone mKes them better than 95% of the casters. I did like Painusers input even though he was keeping it pretty low level for the casual viewers, they didn't miss anything and I enjoyed the cast. I haven't payed for the GSL or MLG, or even NASL... But if these guys start doing PPV at a reasonable price I will definitely buy because they offered quality, preparation, and just a smooth stream overall. Definitely hoping other tourneys take the same path as this one.... Especially NASL. Well done guys, surely you deserve more than the 12k viewers you had the last two days! | ||
