Wonderful news come from IPL's headquarters as nine official commentators and the full list of qualified players for the event are announced.
IGN have hired a plethora of talented and renowned figures to cast the games for IPL 2. A total of nine casters will give their insight for the matches as the expanded second season goes on its way.
Set 1: The first duo is formed of HDStarCraft, one of the first YouTube members to commentate SC2 games, and the terran player of the former team LG PainUser. PainUser is quickly gaining experience in the casting job as he now has IPL 1 and HD World Invitational.
Set 2: PainUser will join another newcomer to the shoutcasting of SC2 - CatsPajamas. Cats returns to his duties as IPL caster, further aided by his experience as NASL commentator.
Set 3: These two need little introduction. The passionate, talkative and charming Brit TotalBiscuit will find himself in the company of DreamHack and IEM Cologne caster and Zerg teacher Apollo. The duo will undoubtedly put a pinch of British eccentricity and energy to the IPL 2 games.
Set 4: Few have not heard of Tastosis, the casting Archon. The long-time friends Tasteless and Artosis storm yet another foreign tournament after their appearance at MLG Columbus.
Set 5: The founder of OneMoreGame.tv and veteran eSports caster djWheat will return as an IPL caster but will stand alone in contrast to the other four compositions of commentators.
Apart from the casting line-up, IGN has published a full list of the qualified players. In case you have not closely followed the preliminaries, there is the final pool:
