Awesome! Good move by Blizzard!

I still find it funny how last month they were like we are not gonna touch IPL. I wonder who else would want to buy IPL? I can't really think of too many organizations that would. But on another note, I am glad that a lot of the IPL staff found a home, they were a talented bunch doing some good stuff with a little budget.

Anyone know if Nick Allen still has a job? I really liked the guy. I know he did LoL content, but since RedBaron still went over to Blizzard I was hoping Nick got a job too.


Nick is supposed to be talking about what he will be doing today on State of the League.

Is it just me or is it kind of sad that blizzard was forced to be the only one to buy it? IGN seems to be pretty successful, I find it odd that other esport centric company didnt pick it up asap after it fell.
I may not be the best, but i will be some day...

Hey JimmyJRaynor. That 30 day ban is waiting.


try reading the thread. i predicted no more IPL events. i did not get into the discussion of who was or was not "buying" IPL.
you wanted to go on and on about how IPL would be "bought" by someone.

and even in this thing.. they are getting SOME employees and SOME of the Tech and SOME of the assets.
IPL is gone.

The condition was 30 day ban if IPL is bought. IPL have been bought.

Maybe I just misread, but why are people going "Woo Esports!" from this announcement? What I gathered from the OP is that the IPL studio will be a Blizzard studio that pushes mobile apps. That's hardly Blizz investing in Esports.

Don't even try. He is going to say that IPL was bought by Blizzard, but is not operating as IPL any more. The man never admits he is wrong, only amend his previous statements so he can always be partly correct.

Behold his recent edit, done while I was typing my post:

No, they hired then to make high quality web and mobile "content", better known as video.. They did not provide programmers to make apps for the Iphone, they hired a production team.

You misread. They will be doing far more than simply pushing mobile apps.

They just started the WCS, hired a production team who specialized in creating Esports content and created a studio for them to work in the Bay Area. Unless you expected the press release to say "And they are going to be making Esports content all day and all night, all the time! 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, all the Esports!", I think they are pushing Esports pretty hard.
