amazon UK does not ship to USA residents... as that would be the cheapest but they discriminate. especially when they had that sale for like 30 US equivalent.

Out of interest, is the age limit due to the tournament being hosted on Playhem, or is it for some other reason?

Just to reiterate, placing top 2 in this tournament gets you a FREE TRIP to a $20,000 tournament where the winner gets a spot in an even larger tournament.

$20,000 prize pool for a tournament alone is amazing, not to mention that the winner gets a slot at IPL 4! We're so glad to be partnered with this awesome event!

We'll be doing all of the rounds on Saturday, unless we get a sudden surge of 100+ players.

How can rainbow play in this? I thought I heard people say the lag from KR to EU is unplayable. Specifically during TSL 3 when the lag debate was happening.

Well, if Rainbow just smashes heads, then it won't matter if there's lag.

Considering he just got a code A spot, I'm pretty sure he's in top form.

Surprised more European players haven't signed up. Free travel and a spot in a tourny with a 20k prize pool is pretty awesome.

This qualifier is for a free trip to the UK event that's on the same days. =(

Another announcement: the map pool is wrong.

Please just search for "IPL" and use any of the maps found as official IPL Maps, uploaded by VTMirhi.

The new starting map is:
