EPTAm 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?

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? | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

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! | ||

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? | ||

For the actual tournament its going to be identical to IPL1 tho, stream will be actually a recorded video. Edit: 1 whole minute late! | ||

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

Zero replay casting for the qualifiers. | ||
