The time has come for our fourth IGN Pro League Team Arena! This is a (follow closely) weekly winner's format team king of the hill showmatch series. For better clarification, check out our IPL Team Arena General Discussion thread!
When: Tuesday, Aug 23 12:00am GMT (GMT+00:00) (we will also have a European re-broadcast as usual at Tuesday, Aug 23 4:30pm GMT (GMT+00:00))
Prizes
The first team to defeat everyone on the opposing team's roster (5 wins, or a best of 9) will earn $500 for their team to split however they want. To make things even more interesting, we are including a $100 bounty for each victory that a team earns, for new challengers to try and claim. For example, if a team wins 3 weeks in a row, they will have earned themselves $1,500 total, and have $300 worth of bounty on them. If a new team defeats them, they will earn the $500 for winning the week, as well as claim the $300 bounty.
ReIGN is the first team to win the IPL Team Arena (three times now!), and they have earned themselves $1500 and a $300 bounty on their heads. Vile Gaming is looking stronger than ever and are anxious for their chance to prove themselves this week. Here are their full rosters:
ReIGN Spades  KiWiKaKi Perfect Future  SLush Artist giX Vile Gaming HasHe DdoRo Domorin Illusion Hawk Spanishiwa State SyNc Coppah PsY Echoic DeathRow StRyKeR

The amount of the team leagues on at the moment is awesome! I bet IGN is loving having it's own team on top.
|
I have a feeling Team ReIGN will be able to take this, once more. Good luck to both teams, regardless.
|
gogo vile! ReIGN is gonna be a tough team to beat, hopefully they can pull off the upset
|
Gogog Reign! Although Vile has a lot of players o.o
|
|
|
I'm calling the upset, Vile will take this.

someone should tell to catzpajamas that he doesnt know what the word - disgusting means.
He should always replace disgusting with incredible good/amazing/fantastic... he makes me sick when he says.. oh what a disgusting attack(where he means, amazing attack)

disgusting is slang for sick/awesome

ReIGN should win this, no question about that. We'll see if they do.

thats a disgusting!

Vile might be able to pull the upset. Still voted for Reign though.
|
It wont even be close. Also predicting that at least on vile member wont GG since some of the seem pretty BM.
|
vile needs to use hawk ddoro and state... funny how both teams weaknesses are at the terran position
|
should be a really good match vile has some players that really scare me but i think reigns in general is a higher level still this might be one of the closest matches yet.
|
I love PsY I hope he gets to play :D not the best player but definitely very entertaining to watch and listen to.

it's pretty clear you are not qualified to judge who is weak and who isn't please stop pretending like you are.

Artist is indeed formerly Artist fOu! And the team arena is starting RIGHT NOW! http://www.ign.com/ipl
|
lol everyone thinks they deserve front row seats!
|
Lets see if Vile can avert the all-kill.
|
Don't know why this isn't getting more love
Gogo ReIGN!
|
Is this only for NA teams?
I don't think there are any that can challenge ReIGN now that they beat EG already. Complexity has a chance I guess.
|
just watched the last minutes, but that seemed to be quite easy
just for feedback: maybe change the black background to something colorful. or just put greenscreen behind and add logos or whatever. something to create a more sports-like atmoshpere.
|
RGN has replaced half the hole in my heart that root took when they split up 
The other half will never be filled, but RGN is an awesome team!!! Always loved basically all the players on it
so gogo all kill!
|
What are the results so far? OP hasn't been updated.
|
Whats the score right now? 2-0 RGN?

someone is clueless about who azz is and I agree with azz

btw cats and pain's casting is awesome ^^
|
And thats why you don't go Collosi first in PvT lol.
|
So....
Artist is pretty damn good.
|
Congratulations to Artist with the allkill!
If he doesn't get one, I'll be sad.
|
How can they have teammates obsing the game? Is there someway to prevent them from seeing the whole map?

I know who azz is he's still wrong and so are you

Well that was more one-sided than a möbius strip. 
|
|
|
Dat Blueflame Helion Harass!
Artist is so good! Does anyone know if he lives in the Reign house?
|
Fnatic and then Liquid.
I will definitely watch the next two weeks.
|
Yes, predicted the allkill 1 game early.
Congratulations to RGN & Artist!
|
Awesome job tonight guys.
+ Show Spoiler +Hopefully Reign can make it 5 in a row next week!
|
Very nice by Artist. I knew he was solid, that pickup is going to benefit Reign for awhile.
|
Awww I missed it lol. Reign not holding back anything.
|
Artist is pretty sick. Hawk took him to the brink that one game, but couldn't pull it out.
|
Holy... Vile isn't the best team around, but they are no pushovers. Very well done by Artist.
|
Wow I didn't know who artist was but he's no slouch apparently. GG ReIGN

He's a third rate GSL player at best.
And you know what happens when you pit third rate Koreans against foreigners.

Just wanted to drop a note to say I finally caught a Team Arena rebroadcast and very much enjoyed it.
Great games from Artist, and Pain's pajamas are an excellent duo.
Thanks for these!

Artist bringing the Korean art of the all-kill to the west.
|
wow thought vile was gonna have a solid chance at taking reign down... artist playing like a BEAST
