what is IPL doing that is so great really...? not trying to knock on them in anyway, just wondering why the community is soooo impressed by this statement. I mean in reality all they are doing is making us aware that they pretty much just slapped the IPL name on the event. Obviously when an event sucks that much, they're gonna wanna distance themselves from it. Basically just IPL doing the standard thing, nothing "professional" or anything.


Impressed because they could have simply distanced themselves without apologizing, they could have simply emphasized that none of them were on the ground for the event, and they simply dished out money and let PPSL handle the entire thing (which PPSL promised in the first place). I, for one, feel like this apology wasn't necessary in the first place - it should be PPSL and AZKWitchdoc giving a long apology.

But hey, they gave it anyway.

And there's nothing standard about what IGN is doing. This is totally new. It's a new region (SEA). It's a new country, Philippines, as they've never had a tournament this big, ever. MKP, MC, SaSe, etc, as well as a separate AUS qualifier? MLG/NASL doesn't do this, they would get replays and streamcast them at a later date, no audience, no hosts.

It's just sad that PPSL ran such a disastrous event.

PPSL was horrible, a lot of delays, even sending the players to a PC Cafe because It was just so bad. They did their matches there.


The not enough RAM thing was hilarious. Were they playing on N64's or something?

Glad we could clear up any confusion in the community!

I really hope this doesn't deter anybody from continuing to tune into our regular ipl broadcasts

I'm not sure of the specifics of what happened (I didn't watch it), but I heard that there were some pretty big errors.

Apparently these were those errors, and I'm glad they were quickly and professionally addressed with this thread. IGN/ IPL is a great brand and well-respected by us in the community, and I think we recognize that sometimes shit happens.

Now it's just a matter of making sure these things actually don't happen again, and then surely most of us will forgive and forget

Thank you, Alex, for taking the time to write this apology.

It's sad, what happened, but at the same time it gives me a nice feeling to see such a professional and responsible sponsor involved in making SC2 bigger. IPL truly represents a gigantic leap in the right direction, and serves as an example for other organizations trying to het involved.

I have no idea what this drama is about, but that was a super classy apology.
I believe in the almighty Grötslev! -- I am never serious and you should never believe a thing I say. Including the previous sentence.

I actually don't believe that. Nvm. I don't want to believe that. That's just terrible ><.

With as many issues as the PPSL had yesterday, I still felt like it had it's moments.

The Good:
CoL.Naniwa vs GammaBearsSen <--- o.0
Exposure of the AZK clan and SEA to NA audiences

The Bad:
Besides the obvious, I felt like Tastosis was really lacking in enthusiasm, as if they really didn't care about the even. Though this may be related to the issues making it difficult to cast under normal circumstances.

To IGN/IPL: I am impressed most with your involvement with #eSports, and still view your support of the PPSL with this goal in mind. As such, I respect your involvement and thank you for your continued effort to give content to the community rather than just taking money from it. +5 internets

EDIT: Your edit needs an edit ("My apologies in advance is any of this" -> "My apologies in advance if any of this")
The faster caster. @RAPiDCasting

With regards to your point about tastosis, I think it's reasonable to allow them a bit of leniency here. I assume a part of casting great starcraft games involves really being into the event and the games, but if things are falling apart constantly and there's a lot of confusion, it'd be near impossible to get your head in the game.

Respondeat Superior is all I can say.

Very respectable thing for IPL to do and come out and say this. In the end all a business has is its own reputation, and IPL has a good one.

Seeing this kind of response from an organization so quickly gives me big time hopes for the future of esports. Even though IGN/IPL has not direct responsibility for the SEA qualifiers except for providing money and they put their name on it, they are still saying "Hey, this is our name, our name is our brand. People see our name on something and expect a certain level of production value. Even though we did not run this, we are sorry and are going to fix it." Thank you so much Alex and off of IPL people.
The only way to attack structure is with chaos.
