I think the biggest area of improvement would be in the in-game observer camera work. They missed a lot of stuff in some really amazing games. It was the only thing that noticeably detracted from me enjoying the event multiple times. When i say only thing, I mean - literally - the only thing. | ||

Awards ceremony can be improved. And on stream, can you move the justin.tv (or is it twitch.tv) logo to the top left because where it currently is in the top right, it's blocking the supplies of both players. | ||

PROS: - First of all, the whole stream setup just blew every other tourney out of the water. Splitscreen, with free HD? That's an 11 in my book. - You guys had better translators than any SC2 tournament so far, hands down. In fact, each one was better than any other translator I've seen in any other tournament. - I'm not even a LoL fan, but I still liked having it there. Reinforced the constant action going on all weekend. - The high production values really showed, and were appreciated. - Constant action, whether games, interviews, etc. I wish I never had to eat or socialize while IPL was on. - I'm a big fan of everyone involved in the casting/hosting, particularly HD and Anna, and I think that the TeamLiquid tie-in really worked beautifully for IPL. CONS: - Butts in seats. As fantastic as that tournament was, it should have been packed. I think the 21 age restriction might have significantly hampered the attendance, and the audience adds something, even to the people at home. Honestly, the level of improvement that IPL has made in 3 seasons is unbelievable. You just hooked a new fan, and I'm sure a lot of people got hooked with me. I'll be looking forward to IPL 4 like no other SC2 event. | ||

That's all I can think of right now... I honestly would list out all the positives but I'd be sitting here all night typing like a fanboy. I purchased IGN Prime just to support you guys, this was seriously the best e-sports event I have watched online, everything considered. Thank you <3 Pretty much this. except instead of a 9 I gave it a 6. If anyone thought this event was perfect then I weep for the future of Esports. Even IGN will agree with me. | ||

- the girls were annoyingly insincere and just generally unnecessary...Anna clapping into the mic and begging for tepid cheers is not only worthless, it's also insulting - I know caster bashing isn't appreciated so just allow me to say I feel that HD (continually) does not live up to standards. Wheat and Apollo are your money crew. - LoL finals were a joke and completely destroyed the rhythm of SC2, the superior platform - Maybe make it 18+ instead of 21...those early shots of the theater with like 8 dudes there were kinda depressing and unnecessary. Overall, FANTASTIC job. It was a wonderful event that I enjoyed watching all weekend. Keep it up champs. | ||

Edit, also this: Seeing Puma's face during a big micro battle to decide his series with Hero Still gave it an 8. Very good games, good production. | ||

With ipl3 there was almost always something to keep me watching and waiting for the next match. Be it cute Lani and her charming interviews/adventures, fun show matches in broodwar or lani vs ign guy, the various interviews/segments they had prerecorded, the top 10 plays and those funny shittiest plays, indy developer showing off their game, the awesome incontrol and gang panel, ect. Amazing, full package of entertainment. It felt like a cool mini convention like a mini Blizzcon/PAX etc with an awesome tournament included. Only minor complaint I had is I wish we could have seen more of the foreigner games in the round of 32 bracket. Would have been cool if they could have streamed all the 32 round games so we could at least see demuslim, minigun etc at least once in the tournament before they got eliminated. Also the overlay sucked balls especially in finals, even blizzard standard one is better and justin tv logo covered only place we could see supply.. Otherwise, great show, keep up the great work IGN. | ||

Not really bothered much that LoL was played on main stream as it was already in the schedule but it would be great if you could easily access find the vods of all the streams. I'd like to see the games with fp view and post interview on stream 5/6. | ||

Lastly, keep health bars off unless selected. If your casters aren't good at observing then hire one. The western scene for some reason never has this dedicated role except for the TSL. | ||

So for IPL4, maybe they could replace some of the "fluff" with show matches between the casters, which is something I know I would love to see. | ||

Rachel and Anna (?) looked so out of place (which is not their fault, I hope)... I mean, it's all fine and dandy to have them "dress up"... BUT "dressing up" while all others around look like homeless (in comparison) is just "wrong" and felt really, really strange... Either get everyone halfway decent clothing or don't make your host look like promqueens or whatever..... Btw: Whats up with the beards in the USA? From the crowdshots all I could see where either asians, girls or white dudes with beards ^^. | ||

Amazing stream functionality that allowed us to control player vision, watch two events at once etc. Free HD streaming Very minimal delays Fun community events, like panels with players when there is free time, etc. If i had to criticize anything it would be minor technical difficulties that occurred from time to time, but it was a a small inconvenience for the amazing quality of service. I now look forward to IPL every year  | ||

But I am dissapointed with payed service. I payed for Prime because I wanted to make bets on players and watch their FP streams. After subscribing to Prime it appears only USA member can make bets! Why in the world do IGN not wrning be about that? Second thing was FP streams. They are not FP streams but just ingame FP view of players. Real FP stream is direct recording of player with mouse. No mouse = useless FP stream. | ||
