Anyone else think this could be the case? It's maybe true. Still Indian Premier League has a wider market than IPL (being in a country where 1/7th of the world lives help). Furthermore the indians were using #IPL before the IGN ProLeague was created ... | ||

Or that both the tweets tag thingys merged causing them to both be inflated....but in that case wouldn't it mean that IGN Pro League was tweeted over 200k times as well? | ||

Oh well, if IGN uses the acronym IPL then there's no one to blame other than IGN. | ||

And the answer is an e-sport, not a traditional sport ^^ We should use this to spread the love for eSports. We should intentionally tweet #IPL and then link to IGN Pro League or something else eSports related. Or even tweeting something like "Hello Cricket fan! When I tweet #IPL, I actually tweet about this [esport link] #eSports" | ||

And the answer is an e-sport, not a traditional sport ^^ India is a country of over a billion people who are some of the most passionate cricket fans in the world. It's also a country experiencing amazing growth and an influx of technology lately. I do not think the ign pro league can hold a candle to the IPL. Why don't you educate yourself, the average ipl player makes 4 million dollars a year. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Premier_League | ||
