I'm worried that hacking will become a major issue for this league.

Am I correct in thinking that 28 of the 32 spots will be determined via an online open tournament? If that is the case, then hacking would seem to be a potentially HUGE problem. What's to stop anonymous cheats from using the latest hacks to help them qualify for the tournament?

I'm guessing TL won't be playing in this because all games are on NA server correct?

• Player must be in a Master or Grand Master league on the North American, South American or European ladder to participate.
• All games must be played on the North American server for both the qualifier and the main event.

Whoops, I thought I corrected that, thanks!


So if oGsMC or STJuly gets into Masters league in North America during these upcoming days they will be able to participate?

ROFL!

I will not play in this because the dates set in stone are horrible for me. I really loved how you did it last season for the players. (Allowing us a somewhat flexible schedule!) Either way I'm absolutely thrilled for this season of IPL. I finally get to obs a huge tournament without having to be in it!

Much love for IGN / IPL ! <3
Team LiquidUnderneath it all they were really quite nice. They just got screwed up. Mostly by stuff that wasn't entirely their fault.

Is this what they call Incontrolling?

More seriously, I'm sure TL will participate at least with their EU/NA players, though I'm hoping exceptions can be made for the other players, as well, presuming they're interested.

the seeding format seems rather wierd to me. If I understand it correctly it means, that the winner of the 4th qualifier will be seeded higher than the runnerup of the first qualifier despite it being a lot harder to place second in the first qualifier than to place first in the last one since 24 players are already qualified.

also is sen allowed to play? (cos u guys mentioned Na/Eu restriction)

I don't understand this. Some people get chosen to cast, but it isn't livestreamed? It's just VOD uploaded?


Sorry Chill I didn't make that very clear. Everyone who gets chosen to stream the qualifiers are totally free to stream on their channels, and we'll pick one person to stream on the IPL channel.

Oh okay, I didn't follow that the format had been changed to a live one.


The qualifiers are live, the event is not.

Okay then I'm back to not understanding.

You give replays to 5 casters. One is the featured caster. You stream his games. What happens to the other 4 series from the non-featured casters? Their games just get lost?

Maybe I'm slow here. Can you pretend I'm 8 years old and explain it? thx!

I figure the qualifiers will be live streamed by multiple hosts, and one lucky individual will get to use the official IPL channel, while the remaining casters will have to use whatever. The actual league will consist of casted replays only, and all will be aired at the IPL channel.

So for the qualifiers, no replays are handed out, just the "rights" to cast and stream certain games (and a pack with media/graphics). Amirite?

The way I understand it Chill is that the open qualifiers will be streamed live just like any of the weekly tournaments are streamed, any caster can apply and they will select who can stream their qualifiers live.

For the actual tournament its going to be identical to IPL1 tho, stream will be actually a recorded video.

Edit: 1 whole minute late!

Basically every tournament is played online. TSL had open qualifiers, and it wasn't an issue.

On another note, I am SO excited for IPL S2!!!

The qualifiers are not streamed from replays, it's more like a normal event where we empower the casters to jump into any game they want and cast live, using the given overlays. Zero replay casting for the qualifiers.

I think you should get rid of Crossfire and use either Dual Sight or Testbug. Honestly Crossfire is such a terrible zerg map due to all the chokes. There are basically no spots in the entire map that 2 forcefields won't completely cut them off. Same goes with a couple siege tanks.

Otherwise, looking forward to this again. Please be extra careful with the brackets too because I know last time they were leaked somehow. :x

Also, best of luck to Idra again, do it again bud!

No, you must be living in EU/NA/LA to play.
