Grats to the IPL people, they deserved to be given another shot after all they've done. And working for Blizzard of all companies! I've got to agree, the boys and girls in blue have definitely been stepping it up, looking forward to seeing what comes of this.
Change to MY nostalgia? UNACCEPTABLE! Monkey paaaw!

why keep the same people? IGN dumped them for a reason. I haven't had the stomach to watch any of their content since IPL 3 because I just don't think they had the quality of personnel to make it worth my while. Cool blizzard is getting involved but is a sinking ship really where you want to place your trust? good luck to them hopefully they turn it into something worthwhile.

So basically, you don't watch anything IPL has done, you pay zero attention to their content, yet you write an entire post saying they're bad?



Well the playoffs were great, but the qualifiers not so much cmon

I wasn't talking about a single tournament. IPL produced tons of SC2 content with some of the best production value around, short of possibly GSL.

There's going to be a lot of disappointed people judging from some of the responses in this thread when they find out IPL events and IPL is not continuing in any fashion. Blizzard grabbed IPL employees to help them run their own esports(WCS) events, not to run IPL6.

I wonder if WCS has anything to do with it? Is it the new studio everyone's talking about.

No announcement. They just moved to a house in the Bay area like normal people. The same area with Blizzard and NASL are. People are just putting things together because we are smart and stuff.


He said he moved there because EG is doing something there and there'll be an announcement.

I'm so confused. I could have sworn that I read an article earlier today stating Blizzard wasn't going to buy IPL. Too much sleep deprivation ~.~

I'd like to take a moment to thank World of Warcraft's dirty money for this blessing.

Thank you, World of Warcraft, for saving eSports.

Yay! This is sweet news indeed!
I was so sad when Blizzard announced Heartstone on PAX as I thought THIS would be the big news, but I guess it all worked out in the end!

And with all that said. Guess where at least a part of the IPL team is going to get relocated and do their job to create Esports content Wouldn't be terrible surprising if they are going to be working in the bay area...
