Whoa, the "win" animation, backdrop results page, etc. is a very nice touch.
Rotating casters is interesting too!

I am impressed so far, which doesn't happen very often with anything Sc2 has done. Probably because my expectations weren't very high, but I have to give credit where it's due.

Nice job IGN!

I do think that a second commentator would have helped; it makes it a lot more exciting. However, the production value is simply incredible.

It's not about not wanting NASL to succeed. Everyone wants great matches, features and competition for the hobby that we all enjoy. NASL so far has fell very short of the hype that was around it and what a lot of people were hoping for and expecting.

IGN in comparison, for production values and other associated markers, is incredibly above the quality that NASL has put out so far. It just seems like the disparity is great between that which is put out by amateurs trying to be professional, and those that have put in a great deal of time and chose intelligent avenues to go down.

That is true, but the thing is, IGN isn't playing these games day by day, IIRC, these games were done 1/2 weeks ago so they had quite a lot of time to prepare... Don't think it is quite fair to compare the production value because NASL only has a day or two to get everything ready for the next show...


Yeah, but once again... WHY?

If they had recorded the first set a week in advance, they could have had a week buffer for each set at the NASL, they could have live-casted from replays even and no one would have noticed anything on the viewer end. They would just have had more time to polish and improve their quality.

If you're not doing an actual in person, live tournament... then why does any of that shit matter?



The community complained enough that NASL wasn't going to be live...

Totalbiscuit online. I just had a nerdgasm. I advise anyone not watching this stream to tune in and have their eyes and ears glued as it's pretty awesome. I'm glad a larger tournament is featuring TB as a caster. :D

Love it so far. So little downtime between matches it's mind blowing. Epic game by select and then instantly into Idra vs Fenix. Really impressed!

The production and quality is through the roof. I don't want to shit on NASL because it is incredible and I wish them the best as well.

But right now I'm watching IPL. And NASL is on.

Its that simple.

edit/ OK totalbiscuit is turning me off really fast rofl. I think the casters are the one thing they need to work on.

Actually supersurprised in a good way, only thing I'd knitpick is the solo casters (to be honest Tasteless is the only one who can do that fairly well) :D

Kudos to the IGNPL staff!

You're comparing a game that was recorded a week in advance to live casting.


Hate to break it to you this way, but....NASL is not live.



Right, but the casting is recorded while the game is happening, and it's aired only a couple hours later, am I right?


right but instead of a couple hours it is now a few days.

I'll also say it's not "one or the other" for sure though.

Some guy on the tournaments thread put it best when he said something to the effect that IGN Pro League is provided everything he expected out of the NASL and more

Can't even fathom why some people would choose one or the other...I just watch which ever has the better games going on. i.e Watching IGN's Stalife vs Kiwikaki then moved onto NASL to watch Whitera vs Sjow, then I'm going to switch back and watch the remaining Idra vs Fenix followed by Aghs vs Catz + Mini vs Vibe

So many good games to choose from, if you focus on just one league then it is your loss

Honestly, this may be a little harsh, but does it really matter? What matters is what is more enjoyable and more succesfull. If NASL chose a system they cant handle and would be more sucessful with another system, it's their fault, and if they would attract more viewers as a smaller league, perhaps they shouldn't have tried to grow that big that fast. Still, they may fix a lot of things and stop looking this bad, so it may be too soon to say it was a mistake.

I am very impressed with the production. The audio is pretty good, and the animations and the stats at the end are very neat. However, I dislike the single caster, as I think having two casters is more entertaining

Great production and stream quality!


TSL3 player lineup + NASL prizepool + IGN/Reddit production values + DH stream quality + GSL scheduling = perfect tournament.
