Hon looks like it has a mirrored mysql database that app and website creators can query for advanced stats, we just lack the acumen to harness it. We'll have to wait and see if Valve will be as open as s2 in that regard.
Right now, I think the IHL did its job perfectly and was quite a success. We really drummed up interest early on and got a lot of GAF players to start playing with each other more often. Nowadays we typically have 5 or more casual IH games nightly, and people are having fun for the most part. There's still some saltiness every now and then, but that's really only when a few players' expectations don't match the rest for how seriously to take each game.
every good dish needs a little salt
