Man, even after digesting it for a few days I can't believe it's true. hope the IPL crew all land on their feet.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

This could be referencing Riot and the LCS, which would be ongoing during the IPL 6.
the viewership would be split, and the sc2 audience + 1/2 the league audience is not enough to support the prizepool and other expenses of IPL6.

good luck IPL, hope you guys find a way to make it through this
Just a bad player trying to be a little less bad

More news at Eleven. Riot have seriously over-infalted peoples expectations of ESPORTS.

I was wondering about that as well.


it could be Riot not putting up as much money as the did last time with there big NA event running atm. The main reason still would have more to do with the IGN sale I would say tho.

Sad news but expected I guess.

So game publishers hosting their own events is negative for them?

The League of Legends creators made their own league. Kinda turned things around for other tournament organizers.

IGN selling IPL -> IPL cancelled.. makes me believe that those "potential big buyers" they were talking about in a statement are seemingly not so interested. Sad to hear, I always liked Kevin Knocke
