My only concern tho is that sometimes its hard to know what i am watching. Seems like i see a new beardstyle of catzpajamas every time i tune in (jk) Sure you can see the schedule for that, but casual watchers (who dont know how to get there) may be deterred by the confusion (like some people have already stated) So my idea is that you could put some custom overlays to indicate what show are we watching. It could be either a small logo indicating the show, or a replacement of the default score overlay with more information about the matches For instance, for IPL season 3, relevant information to know IMO would be: -What round are we watching (ro64, ro32, pool play, etc...) -What season are we in (This will make rebroadcasting content much more transparent) -Current score (For the IPL season 2 overlay, it think it wasnt quite explicit) For other type of shows, maybe a little watermark logo on the bottom right would suffice. | ||

1) Please don't spoile the result by saying game 2 is the final game 2) Please stay a little bit more on topic 3) Please try to be neutral casters (dont hate on incontrol's strategy. chances are he knows what he`s doing) but nevertheless i enjoyed the casts. HD & painuser have pontential to be great casters  | ||

Hey IGN, I think you guys are doing a great job with your shows, but they are somewhat confusing to follow. For example, I just started watching the series with TLO vs Socke at game 2, and I there was no mention of where this game was from. I look on these tourney forums and there isn't a LR thread or anything. If I would have to guess, I'd' say they were from the IPL#3 qualifier 1, but I don't know of a good way of finding out. I went to your official site and it wasn't clear what your stream was showing. I think it would be very helpful if you guys would have a LR thread when you go live that explains what games you are showing, what event it's from, and where in the bracket the games actually are. Thanks for you work. edit: Now that I went hunting on your site, I found your schedule page: http://www.ign.com/ipl/starcraft2/calendar I guess I was just watching your community spotlight show. It would be nice if the schedule was a bit easier to find on your home page. It also be better if the schedule was more written out more clearly to show who is playing who. For example, in today's community spotlight show, it has no mention of who is playing. Also I think it'd make sense for the casters to say something like "You're watching the IPL TV community spotlight" around commercial breaks or something like that. Also it'd be nice to hear something like "For those of you just joining us or have never watched before, the community spotlight is a daily show where we [whatever it is you do]". Often when I tune in, I am very confused as to what I'm watching. Overall, I really appreciate the work you're putting into the show, it would be a lot better if it were easier to know what is going on when I tune in. Especially since you're showing after hours, community spotlight, qualifiers, and not to long ago you were rebroadcasting IPL2 in a marathon or something like that. Maybe just an overlay that says "You're watching [name of show]" every once in a while and explaining where the games are from after commercial breaks or something. last edit: Now that I look more closely, I am noticing that the words "community spotlight" are visible here and there in and around the video. So I guess I could've known what I was watching if I were a little more discerning. But I think my experience shows that there is a gap in communicating to the audience what exactly it is that you guys are showing on your stream all the time. I still haven't been explained to what the community spotlight is. I wasn't aware it was the name of your show until i went to your calendar. Perhaps it would be helpful to get a page on Liquipedia page for each of your shows explaining what they are, and what are rebroadcasts and stuff like that. I hope I'm not overly critical and that you guys find this feedback helpful. Thanks for all the work you guys do. | ||

Edit: Also, could PainUser not talk for 15 minutes about how good he thinks he is at weight lifting and wrestling? I don't think there is anything in existence that I could conceivably find less interesting. Not to mention this is during Incontrol vs. Artist... a match I would expect better commentary out of. | ||
