IPL4 stepping up their game. edit: sucks for Liquid though, they're one of the very few teams sending EU guys to MLG and are getting punished for that now. | ||

IPL4 stepping up their game. edit: sucks for Liquid though, they're one of the very few teams sending EU guys to MLG and are getting punished for that now. It's a shame for them but it's not particularly a punishment - MLG is definitely going to be the bigger event of the weekend even though the timezones only marginally overlap for spectators. The dates for insomnia have been set forever, just like those for MLG, only the prize pool in house was going to be a lot smaller - about a fifth if I recall. This is a relatively easy chance for IPL to get their foot in to Europe, brings prestige to both insomnia and IPL, and should attract much better players to the UK as a result. There's still plenty who will be able to make it short haul despite the unfortunate short notice. As they say, when the cat's away... | ||

I think it already is really, it's more like the Insomnia44 BYOC Finals I also don't think people are realizing that the other 16 players come from 2 Online Qualifiers that have yet to be held, IPL is about to have even more amazing content for us. IPL 3 Replays on IPL TV IPL 4 Online Qualifiers IPL 4 UK LAN Qualifiers IPL 4 Australia Qualifiers IPL 4 Pacific Qualifiers My mind is currently being blown. | ||

This would have been a fine tournament to participate in. Unfortunately everything is booked for Providence. Calling Providence as the biggest toruney of the year is a bit farfetched... When it comes to pricepool its like 8th this year. GSL have deeper purse each month ^^ The only thing that helps a bit is 1st place price... 50k $ makes it the 2nd best payout for the winner in this year. Ps. Even if it was announced earlier you would still send your team to MLG due to TLO and Tyler personal contracts with sponsors. PS. 2 Why no official info about IPL 4? | ||

I doubt I can persuade any of my local friends to come to watch Starcraft with me though, so I'll be there on my own. Anyone else going that feels like making a TL meetup? | ||
