I would like to add that Painuser spoiler the last game (in Brad-OK game) how is winning by saying something in the line with "Great many east European player going throw here, [names a few including winner]"

+ Show Spoiler +

Expected White-Ra winning but could be a more important match.

Other then that:
Still great work feels more alive then NASL by having the rotating casters and ofc great games

Edit: spoiler tag sortof and spelling

With IPL 1, the website design was great. Clean, simple, with all the important links easy to get to. There was a simple, clean main page explaining all the important info. There were links to the bracket and schedule right there up top, and the bracket was great since it had match times actually listed on it.

This design was scrapped for this new season, and I don't know why the design was changed. Where did the clear, simple bracket page go? Where's a proper schedule page with info that goes further out than 2 days? Why is it broken down into separate sites for the main page, then the league pages? Once you find your way to the IPL2 page, you find some of the information you want, but the main page there is confusing. There are these match cards that take you to videos, and then you don't know if what you're watching has already happened or is live or is going to happen. And the bar at the bottom of the page apparently doesn't get updated so it's showing matches from yesterday down there, and with no match times on it. The bracket page is alright, but again, no match times.

Basically I thought the IPL1 site was the best I've seen for a SC2 tourney because there was no confusion whatsoever and it was updated frequently. This new multi-page design with all these new bells and whistles leaves me wishing there was more of a "if it ain't broke" approach with this one.

If I could just make a friendly suggestion, please make it CLEARLY visible on the IPL front page exactly when the next set of matches will be broadcast. Outside of twitter, the TL thread and the google calendar at the bottom of your website (which wasn't updated until today) it's hard to see when the next scheduled set of matches.

I think you guys cast the qualifier rounds too long. 22 Days I kind of lost interest in the tournament when the official tournament starts.

abit curious aswell. I never watch the IPL. Not because i don't want to, but it feels pointless to wait for the results to catch the EU rebroadcast, should just be one stream, with better broadcasting times. US and EU watching at the same time is possible.

I really love the IPL, you guys are so on top of things its hard to imagine other companies/platforms doing the same. All grievances i had all already being adressed, and btw i love the new theme.

But there is one issue the posts above me bring up, and i have to agree: the website

It would be great to see a more transparant structure to it. How do i get my information the fastest way possible in a logical lucid way. Players come to your site for:

Bracket overview - (updated)
Upcoming matches
NA/EU broadcasting times
Match results
Vods
The stream itself

Sadly only thing really easy to get to is the stream, which many viewers probably watch through justin.tv or here on tl.net anyway.
The rest of the information is clustered, confusing, out-of-synch with results, but like i mentioned before: due to a untransparant structure of the site - not very logical to get to. Even when you get there you encounter the non-updated results. I understand spoiler-safety but there should always be sought after information within 2 mouseclicks away.

Broadcasting times could simply be solved by a sidebar-topbox featuring everyday's time/date with NA/EU adjusted timezones.

This is just suggestion in the margins tho, overall i really like the IPL - and the best thing is the community really sees their input and constructive criticism followed up by timely implementations. Keep it up!

maybe i'm just ignorant, but is there somewhere i can view the upcoming schedule??

i know that there is a schedule on the ipl website (IPL Calendar), but it doesn't tell me the entire schedule. For example, when will the winners bracket semifinals be played?

Can you guys just put placeholders in temporarily or has it not been decided yet when the later rounds will be aired or in what order?

EDIT:

I love everything about the league. Not 100% sold on the new style/theme, but still love the league. Keep up the awesome work.

i might be mistaken, but when i actually check it's somewhere around 6000-8000 depending on who is playing. ret vs select got way more viewers than bratOk vs stalife.

The color is off on the stream.
I feel the stream color looks off/weird. When compared to playing the game and/or watching other streams.

Great games not much to complain but the old style overlays and player designs was much better. The comicbook/streetfighter looking overlay/pictures was freaking amazing and made me want to watch the current ones are just bad some of the pictures make the people look cross eyed and just stupid.

I hate to be such a fanboy, but I have to tip my hat how well organized this tournament is. I love the theme (makes this tournament so much more fun), I love the music. I love how feedback is adressed. and I love how you, Alex interact with the community. NASL can learn a lot here.

Sound lapses from low to high at times, please try to normalize it as it scared the shit out of me at 04:00 in the morning when I was studying.

Great work so far else !
