Scoots isn't the only one hearing rumors about this, though.

Anyways, if he's wrong, David Ting or someone from IPL can just say so. No big deal. If there is some truth to it, then hopefully we find out sooner rather than later.

Dont know if this has anything to do with IGN wanting to sell IPL. Kinda make sense

That much would be obvious. Though I thought that picking up LoL would assure them some sort of assurance. Aren't they supposed to run the mid-season qualification or something ?

They have one of the nicest hotels in the world already booked. They can't cancel.

Didn't the new IGN owner person say he wanted to cut down some parts of IPL? Maybe this is what he means... However, IPL just announced an Polt vs Hyun Showmatch for 8,000 dollars which seems to contradict this.

He also said Red Bull bought IPL a few days ago. He's trolling and it's not funny

I joked about it earlier but I don't think he's trolling here, it could happen, don't think it's too far-fetched.

Still think it's more likely to take place than not, but still, with the whole ownership change and looking for a buyer thing, it's completely realistic that some things could come up and might make it necessary to change plans.

Okay, yesh, he's trolling reading his other tweets. Might as well delete this thread.

If IPL6 were to be canceled, the PR nightmare of compensating and apologizing for canceling or delaying a massive event would be enough to give IPL a second thought. This isn't even including the financial costs of renting all that equipment, the venue and advertising the event which would all go down the drain.

Sad news if true, it would make sense if cancelling the event saves money with the new owners already looking for IPL buyers.

Hopefully at least this gets a statement from IPL to let people know if they should still book tickets/hotels/flights etc.
