No, shame on you lol, you don't have to watch LoL if you don't like to. IPL has been supporting SC2 since its beginning. They're the best out there, $5/month is so so cheap if u ask me.

How can you not want to see IPL4? Best player lineup for any foreign event.

Gogo IPL! :D
Just what I'm looking for.
|
Awesome. Such a good deal
|
way better deal than MLG.
have my monies.
|
THIS is good pricing. even if it doesnt stay the same, its a good stepping stone to gauge response. absolutely excellent.
|
$5 is extremely reasonable for a wonderful amount of content. I'm in.
|
This is shaping up to be the best venue of the year. Got to watch it in HD, hopefully it runs smooth.
|
Honestly... I'm not very happy about the $5 HD stream. The content is worth more than this, and IPL needs to make a profit or IGN will throw it away.
I think IPL is just using the $5 as a dig on MLG.

its been stated by IPL that they're only trying to break even this year, with the goal of drawing in more viewers/increasing branding. aka trying to expand esports instead of making a quick buck...unlike MLG.

So you're willing to spend more than they're asking to satisfy your completely arbitrary, completely unfounded idea of what a) the content is worth, b) what IPL would need to generate to make a profit and c) that a higher pricepoint is somehow an automatic correlation with higher profit.
Please for the love of god don't ever post again on this or any other issue that might require you to think about the subject at hand since you clearly are incapable of doing so.

This seems like a very reasonable model considering what the GSL and MLG are doing. One thing that I would add, and which I'm 99% sure you have thought of, is that you should spam your IGN Prime subscribers about the offer so they don't miss the April 21st deadline.
Can't wait for IPL4.

Despite the ad hominem at the end there, this is a valid point. IGN probably knows best how they want to approach a subscription model. They probably have done a lot of planning. Higher prices mean fewer buyers, and over the long term that can add up if you can keep people on a subscription model. They are weighing the trade-off, and its reasonable to give them the benefit of the doubt that they are maximizing long-run profits and sustainability (key word long-run).

I have a couple of questions:
1) Are you confident that Twitch has resolved the multiple login prompt issue occurred during the MLG winter arena?
2) Will you provide any multi panels viewing page similar to Teevox for this event?
3) Twitch has a not-so-well designed VOD browsing interface, what are you doing to ensure VODs are presented in an intuitive manner?
Thanks in advance and good luck with the event.

Misleading title, I thought they were going to be streaming their caster, HD.

i'd buy if i weren't a college student ^^

I will subscribe, IGN does a great job producing all this content. I also support MLG (gold member plus $15 HD per season) and GSL (GSL yearly premium, GSTL yearly light). I believe all of these companies do a fine job in their on regard. With some help I think all of these companies stand a real shot at making this eSports dream a real future.

Can I purchase this on Saturday or Sunday? being I don't know what my weekend schedule is like...
