Thank you IPL.
The ref to Riot LCS somewhat make me bitter. Riot and their Chinese overminds are creating a bubble from whom I fear the explosion.

Seriously sucks for all the players that you promised to fly out to Vegas.
They lost precious practice time and sleep over something that will never happened.

I'm so angry that IPL lead everyone on a fucking wild goose chase.
Terrible management.

I think this officially heralds the end of the honeymoon period for international eSports. Didn't think it was going to be IPL that went belly up first, but then again, they were the lavish spenders, setting a standard for premium tournaments but at the same time, losing money in the process. When the management change came and the vision for IGN shifted, it was only a matter of time.

When we launched IPL two years ago, the eSports landscape was very different with far fewer events than we have now. Today, game publishers are holding their own tournaments, which is why we are not ready to commit the resources at this time to run another major independent event.


I really doubt this has much to do with why they're canceling, but whatever.

That sucks.... ;(

Maybe the upcoming news will make it a bit better.

Or maybe MLG will finally step their game up again to help fill the void of best foreign events.

One can hope.

I always thought IGN had unrealistic ideas about what esports was, is, and should be. It doesn't surprise me in the least that they're gone now. They brought a lot of arrogance to the scene and claimed that everyone else was doing things "wrong", but clearly they were diving in headfirst into something they didn't completely understand.

Hmm...


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



Riot killing eSports.


I dunno dawg, LoL seems to be doing quite well so far.

Just seems like SC2 can't carry a tournament on it's own back anymore


GSL seems to manage


they get views from two mediums, television and online. Hot6ix is and has been the title sponsor and thats primarily aimed at the korean audience. I'm guessing their television views have a much more bigger impact on their sponsorships/roi's than online?

Is GSL on TV nowdays? i was under the impression it was just on gomtv, online.

IGN couldn't of been sold at a worse time. Don't think this will hurt too much in the long term, just sucks that there is one less big event pushing standards higher. Hope to hear from some of the folks at IPL in the weeks/months ahead about what went down.

Wish em well.

This was incredibly unprofessionally handled. Whether or not there are issues with things within the company, waiting this long to make a statement is really not something anybody should ever be doing.

So they basically find out that this event could not yield returns and back the fuck out last minute.

I mean, really? Did they do any market research and shit or just pour money in and cancel whenever it doesnt seem ok?

This is a very short post for a very serious situation. More elaboration would be nice (I say nice to be polite, honestly it's necessary for IPL to have an legitimacy going forward.)
