wait .. What about EG announcement of incontrol and his wife moving to bay area? 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. Almost like they all knew what was happening and didn't tell us.....wait.....thats exactly what happened. 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...
Well Blizzard did hire them and that is where Blizzard's office is. Its almost...logical.

Holy fucking shit - this is the biggest news for SC2 so far. Why? Because Blizzard can FINALLY FUCKING FOCUS on getting their shit together in development, and stop focusing on content or tournament production.
Jesus Christ. I've been waiting for this day for so god damn long....

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 hope this means the production that IPL had, I loved their YouTube channel and would love to see the daily news continued.

Glad to see they still have something to do ^_^
|
really hope they bring back iptl, under a different name of course.

i like the "hands-on" approach were seeing from blizzard in 2013!! makes you feel better about throwing money at them..

I'm not sure if the people who worked in content/tournament production would now end up contributing to game development. The type of expertise seems too different.

Bring IPL back to Vegas please
|
I feel sorry for the NASL guys...
|
Why did Blizzard spend time vehemently denying this two weeks ago...?

Did nobody here read the OP? They are not continuing IPL, they are buying it for the staff who have far more expertise than Blizzard employees.
|
IPL's production is top notch and they have great casters. I think this is a smart pickup, I hope they continue casting games regularly under Blizzard.
|
nice pick up by blizzard, gl to kevin and the rest of the former IPL staff. Keep up the good work.
|
Glad this is happening. I throughly enjoyed the IPL, TAC, IPTL, and especially Fight Club, and dont want the people that made it possible go to waste. Hope to see what the future holds for Knocke and crew.
|
I'm glad about this. Great news, I think. I always enjoyed IPL, and I'm glad that some of the staff will still be together creating different content for Blizzard.
