The Format!


Teams will need to be online and ready to play at 10:00 PST (18:00 GMT (+00:00)) on Sunday, January 8th. Please be aware that these qualifiers can and will take a lot of time. Forfeits and walkovers will be used if needed. If the finals are significantly delayed and both teams agree to play later, scheduling will be done after the semi-finals conclude.


Broadcast Schedule

Our casts of these Qualifiers will begin on Monday, January 9th at 5 p.m. PST (01:00 GMT (+00:00)) each day and will be re-broadcast at 9:30 a.m. PST (17:30 GMT (+00:00)) the following days.
  • Monday, January 9th - Games from ro16 and ro8
  • Tuesday, January 10th - Games from ro16 and ro8
  • Wednesday, January 11th - Games from ro16 and ro8
  • Thursday, January 12th - Semi-Final 1
  • Friday, January 13th - Semi Final 2
  • Sunday, January 15th - Finals



Map Pool
We are pleased to add three NEW maps to our tournament pool from our Mapmaking Contest!
Terminus SE
Darkness Falls
Sanshorn Mist
Atlantis Spaceship
Shakuras Plateau
Calm Before the Storm
Shattered Temple
Antiga Shipyard (Cross Only)
Daybreak
Tal’Darim Altar


*All of our maps can be found easily by searching "IPLMap" when creating a game on NA, Europe, and Korea. The first map will be determined by IPL (ro16: Atlantis Spaceship, ro8: Antiga Shipyard, ro4: Darkness Falls, Finals: Daybreak) and the first players for each team must be submitted to an IPL admin before the match begins.


Casters

Every game will be commentated by our in-house IGN Pro League casting team of CatsPajamas, HDStarCraft, PainUser, Doa, and AskJoshy!

IM is playing.

gg to everyone. The moment people start losing games on their team, they'll just switch to MVP secretly.

coL took an invitation to play with their partner team, MVP, in the main tournament. Only two of the teams in this thread will qualify for the main tournament.
