My only small nitpick with the steampunk motiff is that all the moving parts distract me. D: I usually never get distracted like that but with the turning gears and pumps for some reason I don't focus on the player screens. Either way, that's an extremely minor problem that probably just affects me and I understand changing the animation isn't really an option.

Aside from that, great work.

Thanks for bringing a well thought out free league to the community, and keeping everyone up to date. It's nice to know you listen to feedback.

Edit: I only hope this seasons results don't get leaked early like last time. That's the one thing that sucked about season 1.

I... I just don't know what to say...

They listen to their audience
They implement changes to feedback
They have sky-high production values
And Their VODs are FREE!?!!?!?1?11.!?!>?

So. Much. Win.

However, the sooner they part ways with CatsPajamas' pompous, superficial, repetitive commentary, the better.

It's things like this that make ipl my favorite league to watch. Keep up the good work.

I am super impressed with the speed in which you addressed and responded to the viewer concerns.

IPL is the closest we've come so far to a perfect online league, from what we've seen.

After more of the best players in the world qualify in later seasons and the spoiler issue gets resolved, I don't think I could come up with a single criticism for the IPL.

You could give Wheat a very analytical caster so that it wouldn't matter if they were desynced slightly since he would never be doing any play by play. Maybe some pro wants to take on this role in their spare time? I'd say Idra but he's playing in the tourney so who knows how that would go.

I browse TL frequently, but I've got no knoweldge of what IPL/IGN is, what it stands for, or what they've been doing. I even went to their website, it doesn't even tell me what IGN means. ??

You've pretty much taken the feedback from prior streams/casts/etc. and fixed all of the concerns...even caster desync...this is how an SC2 tournament should be run. Glad to see you all setting the bar, great content so far!

IGN:

Could you please not set the control groups to hidden. I really enjoy watching how the pros group their units. I know you get a little more screen room, but I don't think it's worth it.

Also, if, for example I see Protoss group a bunch of units in his main, and I also see a drop coming, I know "Toss will stop this NP." So it helps me understand the game as well .

I think Painuser and Catspajamas turn it off, Tastosis doesn't, and DJWheat doesn't. Make it 3 for 3!

One thing I have a very small issue with is that in the games there appears to be another "player" in the game (blank line on production tab etc.). What is the purpose of this? Because all it does IMO is not allow you to see both supplies and, thus, hinders our information while watching the game.

Oh ty, must have skimmed over it the first time. Still I was also just wondering what the purpose of it actually is in maps like that.

I'm having trouble faulting anything

- I don't think there is any reason to rework the portraits, just the "goggly" eyes.

- The font in the stats at the end of the game is actually quite hard to read

- Do not read or take advice from the JTV chat, its worse than youtube comments and will give you eye cancer

Very impressed so far, great casters, professional and excellent production, almost perfect
