While I think it's great that big corporations have an interest in the SC2 scene, just injecting money into a scene that's not really that large and invite the few players who are pretty much always invited... It feels like it could turn stale pretty soon. If IGN actually would sponsor a tournament that had a regional qualifier - > national championship I feel that it could really help grow the scene in north america.

Can we really say there aren't someone out there who is at least twice as talented as Idra or incontrol but really aren't able to discover their own potential because the scene just havent reached them? If you build it, they will come.

[edit]
Of course I will support a tournamnet like this regardless, but I wish there was more.

A huge advancement for the western esport scene. :-)
Now let's hope that the leagues and teams can stand their ground financially.

It's official. There is now way too much awesome Starcraft for me to watch


It's already too much! I'm trying to restrict myself to GSL / TSL / D9D and failing miserably. Great news though!

I'm not playing season 5. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

Considering everyone is following 15 other players with IPL. in their name and the blog post said there were 16 players invited, this may be a list of everyone playing in it.

Edit- Added IPL.machine


First of all, I'm less excited now. This doesn't seem like a true proleague. Second, where is Tyler and Huk? I cannot believe IGN didn't invite them. Wow.
Don't mind me

Maybe they will go 16 players at a time... I doubt it will be a single tournament...

Cool, more money and comps is great for esports.

Only minor thing is sport already has an IPL (in cricket lolol).
I that am, am, therefore that that is, is.

A 16 person tournament limited to just NA people, why? Plus they are calling it a proleague which is misleading since there's nothing about teams and it's not even all pro's :/

Also it's YET AGAIN just an invitational. I seriously doubt this is the top 16 players that would end up if you had an NA open qualifiers, i know guys who can beat some people on this list 60% of the time. Yet oh they aren't 'well known' so no chance. Might as well just give IdrA the top prize now.

You can only hope that overtime things balance out for the better players.

NASL is looking a bit better in terms of openness now, no ?

While I would find it hilarious, in the light of all the moaning about NASL, if that was the final roster competing for the whole $150k, I would wait at least until they've actually announced anything. It's possible, for instance, that this is only the NA qualifiers and they'll hold similar tournaments in EU and possibly even in Korea, though that's unlikely. Regardless of the format and who gets invites, I highly doubt they would hold a single 16 player tournament with that kind of prize pool.
