One of the casters mentioned NS2 and briefly described it. I thought that was very cool. The stream was broadcast to about 40,000 people. If anybody remembers Exigent, a bunch of them play SC2. Pain_User is a caster at IPL.
Unfortunately, you need to buy a season pass to watch the archived videos. I caught it when it was being streamed. Dumb, I know. It would be here on one of the last parts <a href="http://www.twitch.tv/naslseasontwo/b/301606314" target="_blank">http://www.twitch.tv/naslseasontwo/b/301606314</a>

I'm an NASL subscriber.. if anyone can give me a rough time it was mentioned I'll see if I can find it.
edit: I found it, it was during the live at three segment.
Orb (http://twitter.com/orbtl) an old school sc2 caster, asked the question of djWheat and Sir_Scoots about whether they thought ns2 had a potential for esports success. A short but interesting discussion ensued about the nature of what makes a game appealing for esports and casting in general and the consensus was that now is a great time to bring out a competitive focused game with the proliferation of streamers and services like twitch.tv etc.
For those interested - it is on day 2, segment 12 abut 55 minutes in.

Links to footage?
20k is still nice.
