Until last year, I couldn't do anything above 480p for the most part. Now I have the bandwith to handle 720-1080p. Though If im watching on my bed on my 21" monitor, the resolution difference doesn't mean a whole lot other than readability on the text. | ||

And i would really enjoy a 60fps stream. SC2 needs it. But IPL content set my expectations already high enough. IPL3 was just amazing. Hope they learned a bit and they can set the bar even higher. + I don't care about the financial background compared to MLG (I understand that IPL and MLG may compete for US markets, but that is it for me). Assembly ROG was very good, same for the latest IEM and DH. | ||

Gonna be having a lan for this at my house or a friends house, since there's no barcrafts in my area . It's still an amazing line up, IdrA's already after getting a really hard group, but I'm looking forward to seeing MKP play. Hopefully he can be consistent. | ||

Don't assume that sir. MLG had 50 million in VC. Besides.. if you get 4x the number of people willing to pay $5, compared to MLG..then you have made up the difference and you have increased your brand name. Just food for thought. | ||

Nice lineup, even ignoring the great players who'll come through the open bracket. | ||

That's over a couple of years. IGN looks like it is easily ready to spend more than that amount in the same amount of time. Just look at the casino venue. That's a lot more expensive than a convention center, and the list goes on. | ||

Though If im watching on my bed on my 21" monitor, the resolution difference doesn't mean a whole lot other than readability on the text. Indeed, IPLs 480s are just fine. I wonder if they are making a mistake offering such a decent free stream and if the $5 is just sounding real good ti everyone right now just after we were raped/attempted rape by GSLs price point. Of course 4x less than winter arena seems great by comparison but will people really buy with such a decnt free? Have to wait and see. GL IPL but I'll be honest I prolly won't buy even though I am attending this live one. Why would I when 480 is just fine for me? Make free stream uncomfortable and painful to watch like GSL does and I'll buy. | ||

Forgot about GSL streams, but yes, they are compressed to hell, it isnt just because it is "480p" or whatever resolution they run at. I still am contemplating on whether or not to go... Vegas is easy to get to.. 12 hours of driving or allegiant airlines from my airport (price is comparable) + it's a holiday weekend. Passes are cheap, so the only thing really left is hotel prices. | ||
