Restrictions

• Player must be in a Master or Grand Master league on the North American, South American or European ladder to participate and LIVE in one of those regions.
• All games must be played on the North American server for both the qualifier and the main event.
• Account sharing is not allowed, players must own a North American account.
• By signing up for the qualifiers, it is agreed that the player will be available on the following dates leading up to the main event of the tournament (in the event that the player is eligible):

On June 11th we will do WR 1, WR 2 and LR 1, LR 2
On June 12th we will do WR 3, WR 4 and LR 3, LR 4, LR 5
On June 18th we will do WR Finals and LR 6, LR 7
On June 19th we will do LR Finals and Grand Finals

If you will be at Dreamhack or GSL Super Tournament we will work with you to play your games early! No exceptions will be tolerated for the scheduled dates unless you have a seriously urgent issue. If a player wins a qualifying spot and fails to be present for the tournament, IGN reserves the right to find the next highest finisher from the qualifier as a replacement. The penalty for a qualifier no show is a two season ban for future IPL qualifiers.

Seeding

The top 4 finishers from IPL 1 receive seeds 1 through 4 in order of their finishes. The place awarded to the player in the qualifiers will determine the seed for the IPL 2 Main Event, descending from seed 5, in order of qualifier. For example, if a player were to finish first in the first qualifier, he will receive the overall seed of 5. If a player finished first in the second qualifier, he would receive the overall seed of 6.

Rules

All qualifier rules are located at the tournament page on Z33K - http://www.z33k.com/starcraft2/tournaments/939-ign-pro-league-season-two-qualifier-4

Can't wait! IPL is the best thing that has happened.

Is DuckloadRa or Whitera now known as TtWhiteRa? (Perhaps a name change would be welcomed)

He's still DuckloadRa from my understanding.

Have the seeding games for qualifiers 1 and 3 still not been played out? If not, any idea when that will happen?

Notable players are: DDoro, Socke, HasuObs, DDE, Moonan, Tyler, Pokebunny, Spanishiwa, StrifeCro, InControl, Avilo, Grubby, Agh, Catz

Only 4 seeds for so many good players. Hope that the best will survive.

Hmm, last qualifier and I open the bracket to see HasuObs vs Minigun in round 1 as the first match, that's kind of sad T_T;

Why are you guys sad about those matchups? They should make some awesome games, particularly Hasu vs. Minigun.

I think for futue events it would be really nice to award seeding points in the qualifiers as you go:

Qualifier 1 could still be as it is now if you don't want to seed from past events.

Then award points based on performance in #1 to help seed #2. From #1 and #2 to help seed #3 etc.

There's just been a few too many occasions for my taste where several great players end up in the same bracket segment, while some much lower calibre players end up in another, and as a result the level of qualified players is fluctuating a bit more than one might hope.

It's so hard not to...

What would be acceptable? Refreshing every 30 minutes?

Just use common sense.

Also, keep in mind, we're only taking the top 4 from this event, so it will be a lot of crazy matchups, regardless if they get them in round 1 or round 5.
