It was a long winter, but 4 players stood out as the top of the top in IPSL, and earned invites to CSLAN:

IPSL Winter:
Dewalt
Bonyth

DragOn

IPSL Spring (so far):
DragOn (Make sure watch his Ro8 match!)
ret (What an incredible mirror matchup he played!)
? Dewalt vs Bonyth Bo5 - Saturday, Jun 20 4:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)

General info:

Prize Pool: $5000!
Split will be announced closer to the tournament, but it's going to be generous, so make sure you sign up to play!

Tickets:
Get your tickets here!
Basic: $35, includes full access both days of the event, and you can choose to play or just come hang out!
Premium: $55 Same as the basic ticket, but you also get a free shirt with your order!

Where:
Unfortunately, the place where we've been having CSLAN, Midlane Esports, closed down recently. So we will be relocating to OKC, with the incredible venue that the University of Oklahoma has for esports. We've already run a StarCraft 2 event there earlier this year, and the players that travelled from Europe (Gerald and ForJumy) said that this was probably the most fun they've had at an event. I encourage you to check out Our website here for more info on what to look forward to while you're here!

When:
The dates are August 15th and 16th, Doors will open at 11am and we're scheduled to end at 7pm each day. If any of you have seen a starcraft event though, you know that Sunday tends to run a little longer than that. If you're hoping to stick around until the finals, consider flying out Monday morning instead.

Maps:
(2)Litmus 1.1
(2)Match Point 1.4
(3)Neo Sylphid 3.2
(4)Andromeda 1.1
(4)Attitude 1.0
(4)Generator 1.0
(4)Octagon 1.0

Andromeda is a faithful update to the KeSPA map, keeping the old design, but modernizing the mineral layouts and such. This was sponsored by NookS, and I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

Generator is a brand new map created by Suri to be a standard 4p map, with halucinated minerals next to the main base. This is similar to the starting minerals that 76 has. The only goal of this is to speed up the early game. Beyond that, all playtesting showed that it plays like a normal map after the first minute or two. Dewalt and dxtr had a banger pvp on this during the last monthly.
