This is official, by the way. There was some skepticism from the community, but the tournament is being run by insomnia44 with our full consent. Can't wait to see who will make it out of this qualifier alive!

More qualifiers may be springing up in the near future, so keep an eye out.

15k for a qualifer tournament? That's just as preposterous as Blizzcon.

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.

This is really great to see, a major tournament qualifier in the UK, I love to see the commitment IGN has towards making eSports happen. If I was good enough and didn't need to get a flight just to get there (live in Northern Ireland) I would totally attend this but I wish the attendees and the tournament all the best. I assume this is going to be streamed? If so can watch this in the morning then pick up on MLG providence later in the day when it starts, gonna be an epic weekend of SC2.
Gaming is much more than just a hobby.

I think Stephano might be the favorite to take this tournament, because IIRC he won't be competing at Providence.

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...

He may not have to qualify, but unless he isn't allowed in the qualifier for that reason, that's a pretty big sum of money to turn your head at.

Instead of advertising this as a Qualifier, I think IGN will get alot more hype if they treat this as a tournament like MLG treats their "qualifiers" for Providence.

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.

Announcing this so late and doing it on the same date as the biggest tourney of the year (Providence).. 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?

Not really due to the good train links from Birmingham airport.

Exciting news! And less than an hour's drive away from me. I'm definitely going to turn up on the Sunday to see the IPL qualifier.

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?
